Bandai Metal Robot Spirits [SIDE MS] XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam Review

As with the previous Gundam Wing series, the size has been increased from the old version. It features powerful proportions such as wide shoulders and thick calves. 


Head Unit

The cheeks, ears, and antennas have a unique shape design, but they are sculpted without discomfort and have a sharp face. Metallic paint as usual. Even the small details were beautifully painted. 


Body Unit

The body shape is quite massive like other aircraft. The details of the chest are also precisely reproduced, and the painting and marking are also accurate. waist. 


Arms and Legs

Store the dragon hang on the shoulder. The head of the stored dragon was large, the calves were thick, and the limbs were considerably thicker than other aircraft. 

The shoulders are asymmetrical and equipped with a shield on the left. The base can move up and down, and the connecting part can move with a ball joint. The left and right random binders can be expanded widely. Equipped with a beam trident handle on the left inner side. 

The base is rotatable. The beam cannon in the center is also connected by a ball joint for each section, allowing it to move flexibly and point forward. As for the movement, the neck and waist can swing about the same as the previous Gundam Wing series. Similarly, the shoulders can rise high, and the elbows and knees can be bent deeply. 

As usual, the hip joint is a drawer type and can be moved widely forward and backward. The area around the ankle has been slightly improved, and the lower part of the shin has been opened to the side for better grounding. 


Weaponry and Option set

Come with a set of stands. Equipped with Twin Beam Trident. Twin beam trident is also made longer and is quite powerful. One beam blade with an extended tip is also included.

The altron shield is removable and can be held using a handle with a special pin. The dragon hang is deployed using the arm stored in the shoulder part and the telescopic gimmick in 3 places. 

The dragon at the tip can also be deployed as it is. Also, by using the attached extension parts between the upper arm and the elbow, it was possible to extend it even further. The dragon's head at the tip has movable ball joints on the left and right of the upper fangs, and the lower fangs can move back and forth.

The size was about the same as other METAL series. Altron from the old series. As usual, the proportions have changed a lot. 


Movability and Articulation

The movement is almost the same as the wing system so far, and the stiffness of the joints is stable. The shoulders move well and the handle is long, so it can be worn on a large upper level. The waist can also be rotated. Dragon hang deployment. If you use the extension parts, it will be quite long. 

However, it was difficult to fix it without assistance when it was in the most stretched state. Like the old version, the shield can be held with a special handle. It is quite powerful when deploying each armament at the same time. 


Summary

The proportions of the shoulders and calves are stronger than ever before, giving a strong impression, and because they are all painted, the texture is good, and the details and markings have a sense of precision, making them look very cool.

The articulation is as good as ever, and the unique gimmicks such as the dragon hang and the back beam cannon are well reproduced, so I didn't have any complaints about the playability.
