Content
Package and attached stickers. It will be used to color code the twin eyes and black parts of various parts of the aircraft.
The package was big enough to fit a baby, and the assembly instructions were in a booklet.
Accessories include GN beam rifle, shield joint x 2, reflector bit modification (8 storage/deployment units, 2 of each are spares), smooth cannon joint, lead wire x 2, lead wire (5 glued) x 2. It becomes a display pedestal.
Also included is a reflector bit modified base and support parts that were also used in THE WITCH FROM MERCURY WEAPON DISPLAY BASE.
I have extra parts for Raphael Gundam and Kutan Model.
Al used a runner labeled Psycho Gundam Mk-II for the huge arm Psycho Arm Unit II. This is a Tron that can be expected to become an HGUC version of Psycho Gundam Mk-II!
This is the completed [HG Metaverse] Typhoeus Gundam . This is a Gunpla used by Maskaquija, the twin sister of Maska Credit that appears in “Gundam Build Metaverse”, and is based on the Raphael Gundam that appears in Gundam OO, and has been tuned for fighting ability.
This is the core unit Typhoeus Gundam alone.
Also included is the Mobile Fortress “Kutan Ssangyong type”, which is the Kutan Ssangyong type that appears in Iron-Blooded Orphans with the arm of Psycho Gundam Mk-II attached, and the form in which the Kutan Ssangyong type is converted into a hull unit and docked with Typhoeus. It seems that it will be Typhoeus Gundam Chimera.
Alongside the original kit Raphael Gundam.
Since the original Raphael was large, Typhoeus alone is much larger than Largandam.
The top of the head is used and the rest is new, and the chin guard of the mask and the left and right ducts are finely divided into parts.
The twin eyes are clear parts, and they have big eyes like a woman’s that were made with SNOW.
The shape of the torso around the chest has changed from Raphael, and the hexagonal core is made of clear parts. The chest armor is thin and has a three-dimensional feel, so be careful not to damage it by pressing it with your fingers.
The joint structure, such as the spherical shoulder joint, has been carried over.
The back is still Raphael, so it’s not impossible to dock the Seravee Gundam II, but the big antenna like that of a warlord interferes a lot.
The shape of the shoulders and elbows of the arms has changed, and the elbows have slits for attaching shield joints. The elbow joint has one axis, so it can move about 90 degrees.
The exterior around the waist has been enlarged, and the side armor and small rear armor can be moved on a ball axis.
The black parts inside each hollow can be color-coded with stickers, and the left and right front skirts hide the red dick.
The hip joint is a polycap ball shaft and also has a stand hole.
For the legs, the knees and ankles are new, and the rest is reused. The knees have a rounded shape, and a shaft hole for docking when chimera is formed.
The ankle changes to a pointed toe shape. You can close your toes just like Raphael.
GN beam rifle. Rafael’s parts were used, but the sensor part was updated to clear green parts.
The smooth cannon that is included in the Kutan Ssangyong type can be attached to Typhoeus using a special joint. Since the Kutan model is used, there is no folding mechanism, and the sensor part can be color-coded with stickers.
The joint is securely connected to your back so it won’t wobble. The cannon swings up and down, but does not move left or right.
There are two joints, so you can attach two gates.
Dragon Head is a Kutan Ssangyong type side armor multi-unit. There are two of the same type, and the jagged-shaped armor like fangs can be deployed and moved. The jagged armor has no locks, so it is not fixed.
Inside is a breath vernier that has both the functions of a flame cannon and a propeller. Four reflector bits are also stored.
The dragon head can be attached as a large shield for Typhoeus. It is installed using an L-shaped joint that allows you to select the installation angle, and two joints are included.
This is a Kutan Ssangyong type. It is a Mobile Fortress equipped with Psycho Arm Unit II, Dragon Head, etc. on the Kutan type, and by rearranging it and docking it with Typhoeus, it becomes Typhoeus Chimera.
The propellant booster is installed at the bottom of the fuselage rather than at the end, giving it a better silhouette compared to the original Kutan model.
A dedicated display pedestal is included, and you can use the joint to angle it upward.
The canopy part is made of clear green parts. The arm part with the dragon head attached can be connected and fixed.
The arms that become the legs of the chimera are repurposed from the Kutan three type, and the red claw-like parts move individually and the vernier swings.
The cannon can swing left and right.
The gigantic Psycho Arm Unit II attached to the bottom of the Kutan Ssangyong type is composed entirely of runners labeled as Psycho Gundam Mk-II. Many parts are used in the arms alone, and the shoulders and elbows can move in the same way as a normal-sized MS.
The connection part of the shoulder joint was a thick shaft hole.
The side armor can swing. The muzzles of the multiple mega beam cannons on the shoulders are color coded with black stickers.
A retractable pin for attaching a shield was also modeled.
The fingers have the same shape except for the thumb and are movable at each joint. The beam cannon at the fingertip is also opened.
The armor on the shoulders can move and the wrists can be retracted, so it seems that the transformation mechanism of Psycho Gundam has been recreated.
The propellant booster is a Kutan model. As mentioned above, the mounting location has changed.
Replaced with Typhoeus Gundam Chimera. The Typhoeus Gundam is the core unit, and the Kutan Ssangyong type is docked as a hull unit.Although it is an HG kit, it is much larger than the standard Master Grade.
It can be displayed using a Kutan-shaped display pedestal. There was no major disassembly from the Kutan Ssangyong type, so it was easy to make it into a hull unit.
Typhoeus has a frame that connects to the stand hole on the back backpack and hip joint, so it can be firmly fixed.
The black arm of Kutan is placed over Typhoeus, but it is not connected, so Typhoeus can move his head and arms to some extent.
The smooth cannon is attached to the upper part of the fuselage.
The dragon heads on the legs are fixed to the knee shaft holes.
The unit itself is firmly connected, but the legs are so heavy that they sometimes slip out from the ball axis of the hip joint.
A GN beam rifle can be mounted on the back.
Psycho Arm Unit II can also be moved freely like an arm.
Inject Psycho Arm Unit II using the lead wire. A shaft hole is formed at the bottom of the arm, and it can be floated using the included base or action base.
A bundle of 5 lead wires is also included, which can be used to eject the dragon head from the legs.
Reflector bit modification that can attack alone. In addition to the ones stored in the Dragon Head, there are also 8 units in an expanded state, and 2 units are included as spares. The deployment state was selectable between a state where the tip was closed and a state where the tip was open.
Reflector Bit Kai is compatible with the 3mm axis and can be floated using the included base.
Equipped with a GN beam rifle, dragon head, and smooth cannon.
Equipment that was not used in the short anime.
According to the manual, a GN beam rifle, a dragon head, and a pair of smooth cannons seem to be Typhoeus’ standard equipment.
When I pose him, I end up holding his chest, which makes me nervous because I’m afraid the thinly sculpted armor will be damaged.
You can also make it into a double smooth cannon or twin dragon heads! !
With Kutan Ssangyong type. Psycho Arm Unit II can be moved freely even in this state, and the Dragon Head can be opened and closed.
They say it’s a Ssangyong type, but the color just makes it look like a big 🦀.
Replaced with Typhoeus Gundam Chimera.
If Psycho Gundam Mk-II comes out at HGUC, I can see a future where something like Psycho Gundam Mk-II (Neo Zeon Ver.) comes out at pre-ban a while later! !
Also available exclusively at Gundam Base is the “Sayonara Rosamy Set” that comes with the Zeta Gundam! !
Expanding reflector bit modification.
You can make the bit float just by attaching it to the base properly!
Psycho arm unit II ejected. The lead wire is fairly strong, but the arms are heavy, so if you want to float it, you’ll need a stand.
A dragon head is also ejected. This can also be floated using a regular stand.
Buttle with Rio Teramoto’s Lah Gundam.
I re-watched Build Metaverse, and I thought that an old man who looked like a yakuza had appeared, but before I knew it, things had been resolved and they had reconciled.
That concludes my review of [HG Metaverse] “TYPHOEUS GUNDAM CHIMERA”!!
GOANZEN NI!!
