 From the plastic model Hexa Gear series developed by Kotobukiya, a large fighting Hexa Gear Gertrude is now available.

Kotobukiya Plastic Model Hexa Gear Gertrude 1/24 scale

The Hexa Gear Gertrude, in 1/24 scale, boasts a range of exciting features. It shares the same cockpit and insect-like legs as the Blockade Ivy but takes it up a notch with an imposing combat weapon, the Biting Scissors. Additionally, it sports a special flight device, the ornithopter wing, and a multi-lock missile system with independently opening and closing hatches. The spacious cockpit hatch can expand to accommodate the governor. Furthermore, its primary color, Hexa White, matches that of the Rayblade Impulse.

One remarkable feature of the Gertrude is the ability to detach the Biting Scissors from the main body. By utilizing the two included grip units, it can be wielded as a formidable sword or a tonfa when attached to other Hexa Gear models. Furthermore, the blade component can double as leg parts or wings when detached. The sensor unit located atop the fuselage can also be removed and repurposed as a head unit by connecting the left and right components.

The Insect Leg boasts various movable axes and connection parts, offering flexibility in unit rearrangement and use. The intermediate unit's base is cleverly designed with selectable connection holes, accommodating diameters of 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm. This versatility enables seamless connection to various kits across different series.

The multi-lock missile system, with its independently operable missile hatches, adds another layer of customization to the Gertrude. The missiles themselves can also be used separately, expanding your options for dynamic displays and configurations.
