Review

This is the finished [HGWFM] “DARILBALDE”.A mobile suit developed by Jeturk Heavy Machinery as a 5th generation demonstrator. In the anime, Guel piloted this mobile suit in a duel with AERIAL.

It is an MS that handles drone weapons that do not use “GUND-Format” with Extension AI, and the kit also reproduces a gimmick that separates the arms and back units.

Side by side with the “GUNDAM AERIAL” whose arm was damaged in the animation.This DARILBALDE looks quite big because it is equipped with a big and bulky shield.

【HGWFM】GUNDAM AERIAL review

Head detail.The eye-catching design of the back of the head.The main camera can be color-coded with metallic yellow and metallic green stickers, but the parts themselves were also color-coded in yellow.It is necessary to paint the Beam Vulcan part of the forehead with dark brown.

Torso details.A breast protruding forward like DILANZA of Jeturk company.The torso can be tilted forward with a movable ball shaft.

The shell unit at the tip of the chest can reproduce the two lines in the luminous state with a sticker, and the clear smoked parts are covered from above.

Equipped with a large shield-shaped drone unit “Ambika” on the shoulder.It can be separated from the shoulder, and the connecting part can also be moved around by moving the axis.The luminous part on the Ambika surface is also selected from luminous or non-luminous and affixed with a sticker.

The light-emitting part on the front of the shoulder is also covered with a sticker and clear parts.

Arm detail.Because of the separation gimmick, the elbow joint was not the C-shaped joint used in the WITCH from MERCURY series kits, but the double-joint type that is common in HGUC series.

The forearm can be separated as a drone unit “Isvara”, which is said to be an A type because it has a manipulator.

A flat hand is also included on the left hand.

Equipped with two Isvaras on the backpack.This is called the B type with a built-in Beam Saber, and can be separated and replaced with the A type arm.The thrusters of the backpack are also reproduced in the mold.

Waist details.The front armor is connected on the left and right, and the rear armor is also a large design.There is also a shell unit on the thigh, which is also covered with a sticker and clear parts.

Detail of legs.The knees and toes are also colored with white parts.It seems that the knee is equipped with a Pellet Mine (micro mines).A gimmick that separates the feet into a wired “Shackle Claw” is also reproduced.

Action

Equipped with a Beam Javelin.

Action using the Beam Javelin.DARILBALDE’s main weapon, the anchor and kunai are reproduced with clear green parts.There may be other MS who fight by throwing items, but DARILBALDE’s fighting style is to throw the whole arm.

Beam Javelin can be separated into Beam Anchor and Beam Kunai.If you give it to the Isvara A type and separate it, you can perform tricky attacks!

Separated Isvara and Ambika.Each one has a 3mm axis, so you can float it using a stand.

Defend with Ambika from behind!

Take action with Isvara (B type).You can attach the attached beam saber, but it was a purple effect instead of the green used in the animation.

Launch Shackle Claw.The injection state can be reproduced by separating the ankle parts.The wires are reproduced with thin lead wires, and two are included.The toes and heels are also movable like claws.

Duel with “Suletta Mercury”.This DARILBALDE has a bright red body that looks like a tomato grown by Miorine!

That concludes my review of [HG THE WITCH FROM MERCURY] “DARILBALDE”!!

GOANZEN NI!!
