P-Bandai GFF Metal Composite XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell [EW Version] Review

Welcome to my review of the GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE Gundam Deathscythe Hell (EW version). In this review, I'll delve into the intricacies of this particular figure, examining its design, articulation, and overall quality.


Design and Detail

First and foremost, let's talk about the figure's design. As it's the EW (Endless Waltz) version, the sculpt maintains a refreshing simplicity while boasting an abundance of intricate markings and a keen sense of precision. When the active cloak is attached, the figure truly comes to life with an impressive horizontal spread that accentuates its remarkable width.

The matte texture, akin to Wing Zero's Noble Color Ver., lends the figure a unique character. Much like Wing Zero, the molding showcases sharp precision, and the attention to detail in painting, including the Vulcan and red cheeks, is commendable. The metallic paint on the eyes and main camera is a nice touch, as it maintains the figure's high-quality appearance.

Throughout the figure, you'll discover a multitude of markings that add depth and complexity to its overall aesthetic. Even though the EW version features simpler modeling compared to the TV version, the addition of these markings injects a wealth of information and intrigue.


Additional Details

Moving on to the figure's waist area, there are subtle yet significant enhancements, such as the inclusion of silver details on the lower portion of the front armor. The arms and legs also receive similar treatment, packed with markings that contribute to the figure's overall allure. The absence of wing panel lines is a notable departure in this version.

Equipped with arm shields on both arms, the figure's backside also houses the active cloak, which offers two attachment options: pattern A emphasizes movability, and pattern B emphasizes appearance. While achieving a stable stance can be challenging due to the weight of the cloak, adjusting the connection frame can help alleviate this issue.


Articulation

In terms of articulation, the figure performs admirably. The neck has a firm range of motion, allowing for dynamic poses, while the shoulders can be raised significantly, and the elbows and knees can bend deeply. However, the front armor may impede hip joint movement forward, though there's ample lateral movement. The figure maintains good grounding, and the shoulders can extend to nearly 90 degrees.


Special Features

Switching to its defensive state with the cloak closed (pattern B), the figure demonstrates a well-executed cloak drawer gimmick that securely covers the body. This feature adds stability to the figure. The option to deploy the cloak in different patterns offers versatility.

Included in the package is a set of pedestals that complements the figure's extensive weaponry. Despite Deathscythe's reputation for lightweight armor, this version exudes the aura of a formidable black knight, thanks to its impressive armament.

Among the weapons are the Beam Scissors, featuring sizable beam blades with movable tips that can transform into spear-like shapes. Twin Beam Scissors, reminiscent of the Endless Waltz movie, are also included, with the option to combine them into an even more formidable weapon. Additionally, original equipment Adler offers multiple configurations, from single-edged talon mode to peak mode, and can be mounted behind the waist using an adapter.

The Buster Shield Hell, though lacking a grip, can attach a beam blade by extending its tip. The Hornet, mounted on the side armor, adds to the figure's offensive capabilities. 


Transformation and Modes

The figure boasts various modes, including Grim Reaper mode and Raven form. The transformation process is straightforward, and the joints remain stiff, ensuring stability. Transforming into Ravenclaw form, equipped with Hornet equipment and close combat weapons, is an option, adding depth to the figure's versatility. 

Moreover, the figure accommodates additional accessories, such as the Wing Gundam Early Color Ver.'s buster rifle, attached to the back of Deathscythe's shield. Its matte finish complements the aesthetic of the figure beautifully.


Movability and Articulation

While the figure's articulation is generally good, there are minor limitations. It may struggle with certain dynamic poses like arching the waist or raising the legs, and the cloak can occasionally interfere with flashy movements. However, the separable connection part provides a solution to this issue.

The hip rotation may feel slightly restricted, offering about 30 degrees of movement. Nevertheless, these minor challenges do not significantly detract from the figure's overall appeal.


Summary

In conclusion, the GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE Gundam Deathscythe Hell (EW version) impresses with its meticulous design, extensive detailing, and versatile articulation. Despite some minor articulation challenges, it compensates with its striking appearance and an array of original gimmicks, making it a compelling addition to any Gundam collection.

Since the release of the Wing Gundam Zero (EW version) in 2018, Metacon's Gundam W series has seen various iterations and color variations. Finally, the second Deathscythe has arrived in the form of this captivating EW version. Its simple yet refined modeling, enhanced with markings and a matte finish, contributes to its high degree of completion in terms of both aesthetics and playability.

With its distinctive character and wealth of features, the GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE Gundam Deathscythe Hell (EW version) earns a well-deserved place among the ranks of premium Gundam figures. Whether you're a Gundam enthusiast or a collector of high-quality action figures, this Deathscythe Hell figure is undoubtedly worth considering.
