Bandai Gunpla SDCS Gundam F-Kunoichi Kai Review

The Gundam Metaverse series continues to release captivating kits, and the latest addition is the SDCS rendition of Gundam F-Kunoichi, priced at 1,980 yen.

Accessories Galore

Included in the kit are a ninja sword, beam kunai, beam shield Otouriken effects, Aya, Dai, Hana, and Doyo effects, backpack parts for attaching a cloak, and an SD frame with a GM head. Note that while pictured together, the SD frame's chest is redundant.

Foil Stickers for Detailing

Foil stickers are provided for the fine yellow lines and shoulder markings. These stickers complement the eye level and enhance various elements of the Gundam's appearance.

Frame Parts and Colorful Motifs

Some surplus parts are frame parts, and the chest of the SD frame is also left over. The Gundam F-Kunoichi boasts a Harrison-style color scheme, with a mix of ninja elements inspired by the F91 motif.

Proportions and Adjustability

Being part of the Gundam Build Metaverse, F-Kunoichi features a cross-silhouette structure. Proportions are adjustable, and the CS frame replicates the anime's head and body. The full set type offers both SD and CS frames for added customization.

Articulation and Movement

While the CS frame provides elbow and knee movement, the SD frame limits mobility. The color scheme relies on stickers for the golden edges, requiring some manual painting for specific areas.

Detailed Head Design

The head, showcasing a feminine shape, allows for reversible eye level and mask parts. Various eye options, including pupilless and shiitake eyes, add versatility.

Torso and Limb Features

The torso maintains an F91-like feel with added ninja elements. The legs, designed with chain mail, deviate from the common frame used in previous SDCS designs.

Gimmicks and Playability

Numerous gimmicks, such as movable knees and interchangeable effects, add to the play value. However, using the SD frame limits some articulation compared to the CS frame.

Versatile Weaponry

The kit includes a ninja sword, with the ability to change modes, and a beam shield that transforms into a major sword. Various effects can be attached to recreate dynamic combat scenes.

GM Head and Customization

The kit allows for customization, including the option to transform into a GM head type. Additional parts enable attachment of the Legend BB Knight Gundam's cloak.

GM Head Compatibility and Scramble Technique

The backpack part has three 3mm holes, offering compatibility with different packs. Removing armor parts allows for recreating the scramble technique, linking with various Legend BB Gundam kits.

Smart and Refreshing Appearance

In contrast to larger volumes in other Gundam kits, the Gundam F-Kunoichi maintains a smart and refreshing appearance, particularly suited for female-type Gundams.

Summary

The SDCS Gundam F-Kunoichi impresses with its versatility, including both SD and CS frames for customizable proportions. With a myriad of gimmicks and accessories, it promises a high play value, making it a must-have for Gundam enthusiasts.
