Review

This is the finished [HGWFM] “GUNDAM SCHWARZETTE”.A Gundam that was developed as a successor to Jeturk’s DARILBALDE that appeared at the end of “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM the WITCH from MERCURY”, and which introduced the GUND format technology provided by Prospera. The monotone color scheme of black and white and gray makes it an excellent kit overall.

Equipped with a multi-purpose attack and defense platform “Guardian” composed of GUND-Bit, which is said to be based on Aerial, and can be reproduced in various forms, such as separating it from the kit or attaching it to the aircraft. The shell unit inside the Guardian uses a plastic seal that is harder than normal seals.

Side by side with DILANZA and DARILBALDE. I lined up with Jeturk’s big aircraft, but SCHWARZETTE also has long legs and is larger than general aircraft.

The head features a ring-shaped antenna and a mask that looks like a small beard skull. The ○ parts on the twin eyes and the circle are colored by dividing the parts without using stickers. Clear smoke parts are used for the forehead shell unit, and you can reproduce the light emission or non-light emission by selecting the sticker.

The shell unit on the chest also reproduces luminescence or non-luminescence by selecting the seal like the forehead. Like other Jeturk MS, it has a protruding chest armor design.

The shoulder armor and the light-emitting part of the forearm are also reproduced with stickers. A revolver-type built-in weapon is modeled on the arm, but it did not rotate or move.

Hand parts include left and right handles and left open hand. Three back parts are also included.

The elbow joint is a structure that can be pulled out from the shoulder or forearm.

The backpack is a two-axis type compatible with other kits. The left and right units can be swung, and the cylindrical parts that can be attached to guardians rotate, so you can hide the shaft hole when not in use.

waist. The rear armor can be swung slightly, and details are also molded on the back side. The rear armor surface has a shaft hole that can be attached to a bit etc.

The leg has a shell unit molded on the thigh, and attached to the side is a shaft-connected armor. The knee joint is a C-joint type that is easy to disassemble.

The heel part of the ankle can be moved independently on the left and right. By tilting your heels back, you increase the ground surface and make it easier to stand on your own.

A multi-purpose attack and defense platform “Guardian” that can take various forms. This is a large sword-shaped guardian sheath that is the basic form, and a beam gatling gun is shaped at the tip. The foregrip expands, and it also becomes a pin that can be connected to the rear armor.

Separated BitStave. 6 gambits and beam blades. Gambit’s light-emitting part uses a PET plastic seal that was also used for the Pale Rider’s shield, and the texture of the shell unit is realistically reproduced without clear parts.

This is the state before the plastic seal is applied. I guess the plastic seal was adopted because the base is hollowed out and there is no mold for the light emitting part. Here too, you can reproduce the luminous and non-luminous states by selecting the sticker.

A guardian draw that deploys the bit stave and operates it as a group remote controlled weapon. You can float it with the Witch of Mercury Display Base (sold separately). All 6 units are connected with normal shaft pins, so you can also use a normal stand.

A clear effect can be attached to the beam blade that is the axis of the guardian.

A guardian marionette that connects the bit stave to the hard point of the SCHWARZETTE body and rapidly supplies power and propellant to the bit. Long type bits are connected to the base bit using the axis pin parts. You can change the mounting pattern and connect it to a backpack, rear armor, etc.

Attached to the backpack in an X shape. The instruction manual describes 4 patterns of mounting methods, and you can change the mounting pattern by using shaft pins of different lengths.

Connected to backpack and rear armor.

It is connected to the rear armor in an X shape. It is a little troublesome to change each mounting pattern because it requires recombining the axis pin.

Action

Equip Guardian to SCHWARZETTE.

Action with Guardian sheath and revolver. In the anime, it was only in outer space, but a grounded action with a huge sword on your back would look great! ! The gatling gun form is a bit difficult to hold, so I wanted an angled hand part.

Action in Guardian Marionette mode. It looks flashy and is super cool. You’d think it’d be a heavy-duty melee machine wielding only a single greatsword, but it was an all-rounder capable of using omni-azimuth lasers for omni-directional attacks! !

Action with beam blade and gundbit. Compared to the aerial gambit, it is easy to float because it has a simple axis pin connection.

Reproduce a scene from the anime.

Let’s go stop the Gundams and the colony laser!

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

GOANZEN NI!!
