Here is the package and attached seal. The seals reproduce the sensors of each part of the aircraft, the light emitting part of the shell unit, the color coding of the variable rod rifle, etc., and the amount was rather large in the WITCH from MERCURY series.
Accessories include a variable rod rifle, escutcheon, beam saber x2, antenna/chest shell unit clear parts, and clear runner-less stand.
In-mold parts are included for the chest shell unit and antenna. Each has a characteristic iridescent glow.
This is the finished [HGWFM] “GUNDAM CALIBARN”. A Gundam piloted by Suletta at the end of “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY”, it is a kit that comes with a variable rod rifle armed like a characteristic witch’s broom and an escutcheon inherited from Aerial. This time, I put a sticker only on the light emitting part of the shell unit.
A clean-looking Gundam with a white body. The light-emitting parts of the shell units in various parts of the fuselage are reproduced by covering them with clear parts on top of the stickers, and by using the in-mold parts that came with the Aerials, etc., it is even more realistic. brilliance can be reproduced.
Side by side with the last boss Eri GUNDAM AERIAL REBUILD. The proportions of the limbs are similar, and at first glance it looks like a different color aircraft, but since the shape is different in each part, it is all three-dimensional with new modeling.
【HGWFM】GUNDAM AERIAL REBUILD review
The characteristic rainbow-colored antenna on the head uses in-mold parts, and a clear part antenna that does not emit light is also included. The shell unit on the forehead can reproduce light emission or non-light emission by selecting a sticker. The twin eye and vulcan are also color-coded by dividing the parts, and the sensors can also be color-coded by pasting metallic stickers from above. A mysterious red eye twin eye seal is also included.
The fuselage has a shell unit similar to Lfrith and Aerial, and is reproduced with in-mold molded parts or luminous and non-luminous stickers. I used in-mold parts this time, but even in that case, I can’t reproduce the light emission of the lower half of the shell unit unless I put a light-emitting sticker on it. The ○ part of the abdomen, which was color-coded with stickers on Lfrith etc., remains gray, and the shoulder joint can be moved with a ball shaft like other the WITCH from MERCURY series kits.
The arms have a white square design, and the shell units on the shoulders are also reproduced by covering them with clear parts on top of the light-emitting and non-light-emitting stickers. The yellow thruster on the shoulder is color-coded by dividing the parts, and the sensor part on the forearm is color-coded by a sticker.
The hand part is only the handle, but since the shape of the back of the hand is the same, I could use the palm attached to the MIRASOUL FLIGHT UNIT as it is.
The left and right units of the backpack can be moved with a ball shaft, and the thruster cover can be opened and closed slightly. Equipped with two beam sabers, the backpack body is a two-axis type and is compatible with other kits.
The waist also has a design similar to an aerial, and the rear armor is equipped with an external thruster unit. It can be removed by connecting the vertical axis, and the thruster part can swing left and right.
The legs also have a similar design to the Aerial, and the knee joints have a fine build structure and the simple frame is equipped with armor. The thigh shell unit is reproduced by covering the clear parts on top of the luminous and non-luminous stickers.
The ankle is connected with a C-joint, and the toe and heel are movable on the ball axis. By deploying the heel and extending the toe, you can reproduce the high maneuver mode that specializes the function as a space attitude control unit.
Specially armed variable rod rifle. The rear Quadra Thruster is divided into four blocks that can be opened and closed and transformed into a silhouette like a witch’s broom. The light-emitting part inside the Quadra Thruster is color-coded with a metallic green sticker.
It is designed to connect to Calibarn’s backpack via an arm, and the arm can move flexibly with a ball shaft connection. Two grips are molded, and each axis can move. Muzzle emission / non-emission can also be reproduced by selecting stickers.
The 11 GUND-bits inherited from the Aerial Rebuild model have the same shape as that over there, but are reproduced with new molding runners. It can be made into an escutcheon shield by docking with the base part, and the color coding of the central GUND-bit light emitting part and the white part of the elongated type tip uses a sticker. Can be individually floated using the WITCH from MERCURY Display Base (sold separately).
Like the Aerial, each gambit can be attached to the aircraft to reproduce the bit-on form. The mounting position is the same as the Aerial such as shoulders, arms, and waist, and the long type GUND-bit is also inserted into the backpack.
Equipped with a variable rod rifle.
Action with a variable rod rifle. Fly like a comet!

Face off against the final enemy, Aerial.
Action with beam saber. The same thing as Aerial is attached.

Display GUND-bit using the WITCH from MERCURY Display Base (sold separately).
Action with bit on form. The GUND-bit on the back and the variable rod rifle interfere.
Gundams will stop the colony laser from firing!
That concludes my review of [HG THE WITCH FROM MERCURY] “GUNDAM CALIBARN”!!
GOANZEN NI!!
