【HGWFM】GUNDAM LFRITH review

Hi! Well then!
This time, it’s a review of the “GUNDAM LFRITH” from HG THE WITCH FROM MERCURY!

From “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY PROLOGUE”, the main character machine “GUNDAM LFRITH” has appeared in GUNPLA HG plastic model kit, so I would like to review it!

Assembly instructions are included in color.

  • Appearance work MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY PROLOGUE
  • Sales date    08/2022
  • Tax-included price 1,760 JPY

Package & Accessories

Here is the package and attached seal.It became a vivid real touch illustration.

The sticker can reproduce the chest shell unit and sensors.The seal of the shell unit is a double-sided seal, and a pattern is printed on the back side, which is an adhesive surface, separately from the surface of the seal, so that the transparency and depth can be realistically reproduced.

And here is the shell unit that uses the “In-mold molding” technology.The pattern is pre-printed in the runner state, and the coloring is quite good.

You can choose to use clear parts with a seal attached, or use this in-mold product.

Accessories include a Receiver Gun, Beam Saber x2, Compo GUND-BIT Shield, shell unit clear parts, and Beam Blade effect.

Review

This is the finished [HGWFM] GUNDAM LFRITH.It is an MS developed by Ochs Earth Corporation that appears in the prequel “PROLOGUE” of “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY“, and is called “GUND-ARM” because it uses “GUND FORMAT”.

Detail of the head.The main camera and the sensor on the top of the head also come with stickers, but they are structured so that they can be color-coded with green parts even if they are not attached.The sensor at the back of the head is reproduced with a sticker, and the vulcan part needs to be painted in pink.

Detail of the torso.ここではHere, Bandai’s new technology “in-mold molding” is used, and the shine of the shell unit on the chest comes with a pre-printed item from the runner state.This kit is polycapless, and the neck joints look really good.

The shell unit can be either in-mold molded or a clear part with double side seals attached, so you can use it to reproduce the luminous state and non-luminous state.The second photo is a clear part with a luminous sticker attached, but I think the former is better because the luminous color is incomparable with the in-mold molding and the sticker.

Arm detail.It is a method of attaching the exterior to the frame parts, and it is quite easy to assemble because each part is gathered with a runner.

Detail of backpack.With a design like an armored hanger, you can connect the Bit Stave described later to make it Bit on Form.It also has two beam sabers, and the left and right units are movable with a ball shaft.

The backpack has a two-axis design and is compatible with other kits.

Waist details.ガンダムエクシアなどに似たスッキリしたデザイン。The leg opening range is about 100 degrees, and the rear armor can be connected to BitStave.

Detail of legs.A structure that attaches the exterior to the frame like the arm.The knee joint is a C-joint type, making it easy to disassemble.Verniers are sculpted on the back of the thighs and knees, and the pink part of the knee armor is colored with stickers.

Side by side with the “HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam”.The size is slightly larger than Gundam.

Side by side with BEGUIR-BEU, which was released at the same time.There was a fierce battle in PROLOGUE, but will it appear in the main story?

Action

Equipped with Receiver Gun and Compo GUND-BIT Shield.

Take action with the Receiver Gun.Bit Stave and Beam Blade described later can be installed.The upper sensor part comes with a sticker.

A beam blade is attached to form a huge beam blade (blade on).Comes with a special beam effect that is different from a normal beam saber.

Action with beam saber.The blue clear molding color makes it look a little slim.

This is the Compo GUND-BIT Shield, which is also installed on GUNDAM AERIAL.A gimmick that separates from the shield into 7 units and becomes a Bit Stave has also been reproduced.

Connect the separated Bit Stave to the LFRITH body.Connect 4 to the backpack and 1 to the rear armor.

Backpack details.It becomes Bit on Form which connected Bit Stave to the backpack and improved mobility.GUND-Bit Rifle can also be mounted in the center.

GUND-Bit Rifle can be reproduced by connecting Bit Stave to Receiver Gun.Originally, the receiver gun was vertically large, but it will also be large horizontally.A high-power beam launch mechanism is unlocked.

Finally action.Will it also appear in the main anime?

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

GOANZEN NI!!
