This review covers the pre-order item from Premium Bandai, the Figure-rise Standard Suletta Mercury in the Regular Uniform version, priced at 4,180 yen.

Package and Instructions

Despite being a pre-order item, the packaging and instructions were identical to the regular sale item, featuring color illustrations.

Accessories

The kit includes various accessories such as replacement faces, grip hand, open hand, handle, tomato handle & tomato, halo, and action base 6. Notably, there are five facial expressions, enhancing the expressive range.

Stickers and Water Transfer Decals

Stickers and water transfer decals are provided to supplement the color coding of the uniform. The water transfer decals offer options for various expressions and tomato stems.

Uniform Variation

This Regular Uniform version is a color variation of the Holder outfit, changing the uniform color from white to green. The simplicity of the uniform, without intricate gold engravings, distinguishes it from the Holder version.

Improved Reproducibility

While the construction of the kit remains similar, facial expressions and decals now closely resemble the anime, showcasing improved reproducibility. The kit maintains its joint structure with a combination of KPS.

Color Coding

While regular parts have been reproduced, some sections like shoulders, tie, cuff lines, hair band, and hair clips require partial supplementation with stickers. However, there are no engraved stickers, reducing the workload.

Detail and Quality

Close-ups reveal subtle differences between the Regular Uniform and Holder versions. The Regular Uniform emphasizes simplicity, lacking the gold lines seen in the Holder version.

Articulation and Poseability

The kit's articulation remains unchanged, providing a decent range of motion. The addition of an Action Base 6 enhances display possibilities, especially with the included halo.

Tomato Inclusion

A unique addition is the inclusion of tomatoes, represented in one part with stickers and decals for imperfections. The right tomato handle allows for a natural grip.

Weapon Compatibility

The kit includes a weapon holder, compatible with various weapons from Gunpla and 30MM & 30MS series.

Expressiveness and Compatibility

With five face parts, the kit becomes more expressive, offering versatility when combined with the Holder version. The inclusion of tomatoes adds a playful element.

Summary

The Figure-rise Standard Suletta Mercury in the Regular Uniform version offers a simple yet expressive kit. The addition of facial expressions, tomatoes, and the change in uniform color provide options for customization and creativity in posing.
