P-Bandai Gunpla MG 1/100 XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe EW [ Roussette Unit ] Review

The MG 1/100 XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe EW [Roussette Unit] is a modification of the previously released Gundam Deathscythe EW, now featuring the Roussette Unit. Priced at 4,950 yen, it is available as a pre-order item from Premium Bandai. The kit includes a manual covering both the Normal Deathscythe EW and supplemental instructions for the Roussette part.

Accessories and Components

The package comes with various accessories, including beam scissors, a beam blade for the buster shield, a beam scissors attachment joint, a Duo Maxwell figure, a stand joint, open hand, handle, and a handle with a dowel pin. Surplus parts consist of those used for the normal backpack. Foil stickers and water transfer decals are provided to enhance sensor detailing.

Roussette Unit Overview

The Roussette Unit, inspired by Glory of the Losers, adds a flying unit resembling Wing Gundam's wings. When folded, it creates a storage configuration. Unfolded, Roussette showcases its wing-like structure, seamlessly blending with the main body's color scheme.

Design and Structure

The main body remains consistent with the previously released Deathscythe EW. The joints utilize a common W-type frame, employing polycap + ABS for joint construction. The color scheme is faithfully reproduced, typical of MG, with color-coded molding for the complex scheme of the loussettes.

Articulation and Features

The head design retains its original style, featuring clear parts for twin eyes and a top camera, separate vulcan and cheek fin parts. The chest cockpit can be opened and closed, revealing a detailed mold inside the chest duct.

Roussette Unit Articulation

Roussette, when unfolded, can swing back and forth at the base. While mainly fixed, its joints allow some movement, enhancing its visual appeal. The buster shield is attached to the left arm, and a Duo Maxwell figure is included in a standing pose.

Poseability and Compatibility

The kit maintains poseability similar to Death Scythe Hell EW, with movable waist armor, knees, ankles, and toes. The Roussette's large size does not hinder movement significantly, and when stored, it aids in stabilizing the model.

Weaponry and Comparison

Weapons such as the beam scissors and beam blade are included. The fluorescent blade of the beam scissors is securely attached, and the left and right claws of the buster shield open and close in conjunction.

Summary

The MG Gundam Deathscythe EW (equipped with Roussette) provides an interesting addition to the Glory of the Losers lineup. The transformation brought about by the wing-like loussettes alters the silhouette of Deathscythe dramatically. The Roussette Unit, detailed and accurately reproduced, adds vibrancy to the model. The inclusion of surplus parts allows assembly as the normal version, enhancing versatility. While the Roussette Unit may pose slight interference concerns during movement, individual adjustments can improve handling. Overall, this kit offers a unique take on Deathscythe, contributing to the appeal of the series.
