Introducing the highly anticipated 2nd unit of "Garuda Gear"! This new addition to the series showcases a unique and demonic design, distinguished by its rough silhouette and contrasting color scheme. The head, chest, shoulders, outer forearms, instep, main wing, tail, nose, blade rifle, shield, and twin blades have all been meticulously sculpted, giving the unit a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from the sleek and elegant silhouette of Unit 1.
To enhance the visual impact, numerous clear parts are incorporated into the design, particularly on the nose, shield, and wings, adding a sense of depth and complexity. The primary color scheme of the aircraft is a fiery red, evoking the image of a burning devil and representing the unit's role as a rival machine in the world of robot animation. Additionally, the clear parts are tinted orange, resembling the fuselage color of Unit 1, which is associated with the concept of "white."
One notable feature is the newly shaped laser blades that can be connected via attachments on the unit's thighs, allowing for the creation of a dynamic "twin laser blade" form. The right forearm armor can be opened and closed, revealing a deployed internal Gatling gun, while the left arm is equipped with a newly molded shield. The small wings made of clear parts are also movable, adding to the figure's poseability and playability.
For added versatility, the figure can be transformed into a landing posture by connecting the included landing gear. The nose of the fighter form can open and close at the bottom, and the built-in machine gun can be deployed. By attaching effect parts to the muzzle, thrilling assault scenes in fighter plane form can be recreated.
The frame of the figure remains consistent with Unit 1, allowing for flexible movement and seamless transformation. Each joint adopts the 5mm shaft/hole standard, ensuring compatibility with other figures and accessories, such as the separately sold "MSG Gigantic Arms" series and "Hexa Gear" series. Furthermore, the exterior is equipped with a wealth of hard points (3mm holes), which can be covered with detail covers when not in use, maintaining aesthetic appeal and expanding customization options.
With its attention to detail, dynamic design, and compatibility with other accessories, the 2nd unit of "Garuda Gear" offers an exciting and versatile addition to any collection. Whether you're a fan of mecha figures or simply appreciate high-quality and customizable toys, this figure delivers both aesthetic appeal and playability. Enjoy the endless possibilities of posing, transforming, and creating thrilling action scenes with this impressive addition to the Garda Gear series.
