Here is the package and attached seal.It will reproduce the sensors on the head and the light emitting part of the shell unit.Like the previously released “GUNDAM LFRITH”, the seal on the shell unit is a double-side seal specification, and a pattern is printed on the adhesive backside, separate from the surface of the seal, so that the transparency and depth can be realistically reproduced.
Accessories include Beam Rifle, Beam Saber, Escutcheon, Beam Rifle effects, Shell Unit parts, Beam Rifle joint parts.No surplus parts were available.
“In-mold molding” parts are used for the shell unit on the chest, just like the previously three-dimensional “GUNDAM LFRITH”, and the lighting state can be reproduced by selecting the double side seal.
This is the finished [HG THE WITCH FROM MERCURY ] “GUNDAM AERIAL”.The main character of the anime “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY”, which began airing in October 2022 Japan time, and the pilot is “Suletta Mercury”, also known as a raccoon dog.
The kit includes a gimmick of “Escutcheon” that separates into 11 “The Bit Staves”, and a luminous shell unit reproduced with “In-mold molding” parts.New technology was incorporated.This time, I chose the shell unit lighting state and assembled it.
Side by side with “GUNDAM LFRITH” that appears in “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY PROLOGUE”, which was made into a three-dimensional version earlier.There are parts that are similar in terms of design, but in terms of kit, there are no parts that have been diverted, and it was a new molding.
Head.Like the GUNDAM LFRITH, the main camera and the sensor on the back of the head are color-coded by dividing the parts, and you can also color-code each with a green or red sticker as you like.Clear smoke parts are used for the forehead, and you can also attach a sticker to your liking to recreate the luminescence.
Internal part of the head.The colors are very finely divided into red, yellow, green, and gray, and you can feel the underlying strength of Bandai in terms of technological evolution.
Body.This is also finely color-coded by dividing the parts like the head.The characteristic shell unit of the chest uses “In-mold molding” to reproduce the luminous state, or a double side seal is attached to the clear part from the back side, or the non-luminous state is displayed without a sticker.”In-mold molding” items are pretty beautiful, so I think this is the only choice!
The red ○ part of the abdomen was color-coded with a sticker, and it was also used as you like.
Shoulder armor.This line is also color-coded to indicate the luminous or non-luminous state of the sticker.There is a slit on the side for attaching “The Bit Staves”.
Arm.The white armor is attached to the gray frame, and the details have been reproduced with few parts.The hand parts are only the handle, but it seems that the palm parts will also be three-dimensional in the future.
The backpack does not have a vernier and has the same yellow fin mold design as other parts.The connection of the backpack is a two-axis type that is compatible with other kits, and the light emitting part can be reproduced with a double side seal.
Waist.Like the main character Gundam, the abdomen is red coloring.
Legs.The fin molds on the knees and back of the thighs are colored with yellow parts.The knee and ankle joints were C-shaped joints, which is familiar to the 30MM series.
The thigh shell unit is also reproduced with clear parts, and the lighting state is also reproduced with double side seals.
Ankle.The toes and insteps of the legs are movable with a ball axis.The fin molds on the heels and soles need to be painted in gray.
Equipped with Beam Rifle and Escutcheon and poses.It’s a kit that moves well with a small number of parts, but due to the design of the thighs, compared to the “GUNDAM LFRITH”, the movement of the hip joints feels a little tight.
Beam Rifle.A vertically thick design that resembles a combination of diamonds.The scope is colored with a gray sticker.It is necessary to disassemble the back of the hand once to give it a grip.
Beam blades can be reproduced by attaching saber effects to the beam rifle.
Beam rifle can be mounted on backpack using joint parts.
Beam saber.Like the main character Gundam, two are equipped in the backpack.The saber is square and made of clear blue parts.
Escutcheon.It consists of 11 GUND-BITs, and each bit (Bit Staves) can be separated.
Gundam in Parco.
Attach GUND-BIT to AERIAL to reproduce “Bit on Form”.11 Bit Staves can be attached to the AERIAL main body or beam rifle.
With wider shoulders and a slightly different silhouette, you’ll look cool!
Bit Staves are partly color-coded with stickers, but most of them are color-coded by dividing the parts, so they look colorful and nice!
That concludes my review of [HG THE WITCH FROM MERCURY] “GUNDAM AERIAL”!!
GOANZEN NI!!
