Bandai Gunpla SDW HEROES Nobunaga's War Horse Review

Nobunaga's War Horse, a new addition to the SD Gundam World Heroes lineup, has been transformed into a model kit. In this review, we'll explore its features, accessories, and special characteristics.

Accessories

The kit includes a joint for mounting Wukong Impulse and a rear armor fixing joint, both versatile for common warhorses. Surplus parts are absent, ensuring a streamlined assembly.

Color Enhancement

Foil stickers, provided in abundance, augment the detailed color coding of the armor. However, for a precise reproduction of fine red lines, additional painting may be required.

Design and Build

Derived from the previous War Horse model, this exclusive Nobunaga variant boasts new parts and luxurious armor, faithfully recreating the appearance of a special horse. Clear parts with flame effects contribute to increased volume, particularly noticeable on the head, which is covered with armor.

Articulation and Construction

While the construction remains simple, the addition of clear parts with armor effects contributes to a heightened visual appeal. Noteworthy is the unchanged use of KPS for moving parts, with no reliance on polycaps. Paint may be necessary for accurate color reproduction.

Detailed Comparison

A detailed comparison with a regular warhorse reveals modifications in the head, chest, and legs. Despite similarities, the addition of voluminous parts gives Nobunaga's War Horse a slightly larger feel.

Compatibility and Additional Features

The kit, compatible with action bases, maintains familiar movement patterns in the legs and knees. Stability is retained, even with fixed ankles. Rear armor attachment and its compatibility with Nobunaga Gundam Epyon showcase versatility.

[Zetsutou/ Kasakuryuukaku] Reproduction Parts

Reproduction parts with clear red clear finishes provide uniformity. Versatility extends to accommodating other characters and Gundam models.

Wukong Impulse Linkage

A notable gimmick involves linking the War Horse with the previously released Wukong Impulse. The joint system facilitates a two-seater situation, adding a unique dynamic to the model.

Summary

SDW Nobunaga's War Horse presents a visually impressive upgrade to the original release. The addition of armor and unique features, coupled with compatibility with Wukong Impulse, makes it an appealing choice for collectors. Whether paired with Nobunaga or other elaborately adorned characters, this model offers a touch of luxury to any Gundam collection.
