P-Bandai ROBOT魂 SPIRITS <SIDE MS> Anchor Gundam Review

The ROBOT Spirits Anchor Gundam is a mobile suit featured in DUST, the sequel to Crossbone Ghost. Despite its connection to previous iterations, its design is entirely new, providing a fresh perspective.

Design and Features

The Anchor Gundam distinguishes itself with a unique anchor-shaped heat cutter on its forehead, deviating from the typical V-shaped antenna seen on Gundams. The precision in molding and careful paint application enhance its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, included are replacement face parts and a heat cutter rotation effect, albeit with some initial stiffness.

Body Structure

The suit's body maintains the asymmetrical design, with the right side featuring a heat ceramic bullet. Each limb mirrors the original work's envisioned form, with notable details like the anchor mark on the left shoulder and a deployable shield on the left arm.

Mobility and Accessories

The suit offers excellent mobility, with wide-ranging movements at the neck, waist, shoulders, elbows, and knees. Its accessories, including the Ax gun and beam saber effects, add versatility. However, issues like stiff neck joints and difficulties in handle replacement for Ikarimaru detract slightly from the experience.

Optional Equipment

The inclusion of Ikarimaru, a weapon designed for Psycho Gundam, adds depth to the set. However, challenges arise with its handle replacement and overall quality consistency.

Summary

The ROBOT Spirits Anchor Gundam impresses with its faithfulness to the original design, vibrant color scheme, and extensive options. While minor issues like missing parts and handle replacements may arise, it remains a solid addition to any collection of Crossbone-type figures.
