Robot Spirits [SIDE MS] GAT-X102 Duel Gundam ver. ANIME Review

Compared to the previous version, which was quite slim like the RoDa Strike Gundam, it has a body shape closer to the anime, and the balance of details has also been improved. The texture was also good.

Head Unit

The outline, the shape of the eyes, the thinness of the antenna, etc. have all changed, and the impression has changed considerably. Especially the difference in the mask part was big. Metallic paint as usual. The ducts on the cheeks that were painted in the old version are unpainted, but since the design is originally shallow, it doesn't bother me that much.

Body Unit

Like RoDa Strike Gundam, there is no arrangement, etc., and it is a simple model that is faithful to the anime. The blue color was also close to the play. waist. The design has no front armor, but the gap around the hip joint is not noticeable.

Arms and Legs Unit

The previous version of the SEED series had very slender limbs, but this time it has a natural balance. The shape of the shoulder armor is also more natural than the old version. The saber rack rotates back and forth. The insert part is movable with a ball joint.

Weaponry and Option Set

The bottom of beam rifle grenade is removable. It can be mounted on the side of the waist using a joint. Holding is the same as RoDa Strike Gundam, using either joint or grip. Like the RoDa Strike Gundam, the back was pure white.

This can also be mounted on the waist using a joint. 350mm Rail Bazooka "Gáe Bulg" also came with a phantom weapon. Various effects are also included. This is a grenade firing effect. Beam rifle effect is the same as the Yale RoDa Strike Gundamr & Effect Parts Set.

Two types of vernier effects are also included. Effect parts for Armor Schneider. An effect that can reproduce the scene of being stabbed in the stomach by an impressive RoDa Strike Gundam is also included. This is a method that attaches a clear joint and effect to the duel's waist, and inserts an Armor Schneider with a RoDa Strike Gundam wrist there.

When viewed from the opposite side, the joint is not visible and it looks quite realistic. In addition, parts such as the chest, forearms, knees, back, and waist are removable, and it was made assuming an assault shroud. The size is slightly larger than the old version. Of course, the use of assault shroud equipment is not possible.

Movability and Articulation

Since the joints are common, the movement is almost the same as the RoDa Strike Gundam. Since there is no front armor, Duel is a little more flexible around the hip joint. A joint that can reproduce the shield mounted on the waist that has been modified in the remastered version is also included.　I was a little worried that the knee armor sometimes came off when my hand hit it.

A saber drawing pose often seen in banks. The head can rotate 360 degrees, but the waist is limited to about 45 degrees, so it was impossible to reproduce the scene where the saber is often swung in the play. This time there is no curved saber, so I borrowed it from the effect set. Impressive dual wielding in the Forbidden battle.

In Duel, Assault Shroud has a lot of turns, and the original state was a little overshadowed, but at the end, he made a comeback.　If it's ver. ANIME, I think Forbidden will be released, so I'm looking forward to that as well.

A phantom weapon Gáe Bulg that is not used in the main story. Showdown with RoDa Strike Gundam modified in the remastered version. Also included is an effect that can reproduce the impressive scene with first seed cracking & "It hurts, hurts, hurts". The effect is quite elaborate, so even from another angle. Another angle. Using the old buster, "Give me that guy!"

Summary

Like the RoDa Strike Gundam ver. Anime, it's solidly made, and the proportions are just as I imagined. Like the RoDa Strike Gundam, the movement is good everywhere, and the options are a complete set of basic equipment, and there are many Gáe Bulg and effects, so there was no gap in terms of play.
