Robot Spirits [SIDE MS] RX-78GP04G Gundam Prototype 04 Gerbera ver. ANIME Review

Although it does not appear in the anime, the proportions and form are similar to those of GP01-03, and the textures are almost the same.

Head Unit

It has a slightly similar atmosphere to GP01, such as the outline, large eyes, and the antenna on the left side. Metallic paint as usual. There are many painted parts such as blue cheeks and temples, but the coloring was accurate.

Body Unit

The body has an orthodox Gundam design. The body shape is similar to GP01 and slightly taller.

Arms and Legs

The shape of the shoulder is similar to that of Gerbera Tetra because it is the original aircraft. The legs were close to GP01 and 03. The upper thruster can move forward, backward, left and right. It is also possible to raise a saber rack. The movement has a little habit. You can swing your neck and waist as usual, and you can raise your shoulders high.

Bend your elbows deeply. Knees about 120 degrees. The hip joint is a drawer type and moves well in the front, but it opens only about 30 degrees to the side. Grounding was no problem at all. As usual, there is also a push-in gimmick on the left and right sides of the chest. The waist can be pulled out and tilted forward very greatly. The hip joint to be as usual rather than putting a lot of effort into it.

Weaponry and Option Set

The Stürm Booster was able to stand on its own without being attached underneath. A slender long-range shooting weapon with precise details. The upper and lower foregrips and the scope are movable. Comes with a rifle effect as usual. Beam Jutte was not included.

A shield with a similar design to GP01. Marking is also accurate. Holding is a two-point method of joint and grip. Two types of joints that can be equipped on the side and back of the arm are included.

A cartridge can be attached to the back. The shield can be stretched as it is. Sturm booster is quite large and attached to the back left and right and waist. The left and right sides of the back are connected with the back thrusters after inserting them into the holes. Just insert the waist into the hole. There was no movement and the angle was fixed.

Vernier effect is included as usual. Can be inserted into holes such as the back, shoulders, and calves. It is set to become a gerbera tetra by changing the exterior, but the only similarities are the form of the antenna and shoulders. In terms of design, it is close to GP01. Only 04 is MSV, but there was not much sense of incongruity when arranging.

Movability and Articulation

As mentioned above, there is a habit in the hip joint, and the legs can only be opened a little, so it is quite stressful. Also, maybe because it put a complicated drawer mechanism on the waist, the upper body felt a little wobbly. Other parts such as the neck and shoulders are normal with no particular problems.

The hip joint can be moved back and forth without any problems, and there is a drawer gimmick, so it is possible to naturally take a kneeling position. Rotation of the neck and waist is no problem.

As usual, the saber blade comes with two types: straight and curved. Use the rifle effect of effect set 02. Vernier effect too. Effect set 02 is mainly for 0083, so compatibility with GP04 this time was also good.

Summary

Unlike GP01 to GP03, it is an MSV aircraft, but the proportions are similar to the other three aircraft, so there is no sense of incongruity when placed side by side. However, in terms of movement, most of the parts are fine, but the hip joint has a different structure than usual, so it's stressful that can't open the legs much, and it can pulled out the waist unnecessarily. It was a pity that it was difficult to play because it was mysteriously new, even though it was fine as usual, such as wobbly.
