"MODEROID TYPE-J9 Griffon Flight & Aqua Unit Set". Released on August 20th. The price is 5,500 yen.This product with an aqua unit is exclusive to the Good Smile Online Shop.In the comics and animations of "Mobile Police Patlabor", it will be a 1/60 scale kit of "Black Labor" who fought a deadly battle with Patlabor of the special car section 2. In the work, it is a machine that divides the popularity with the leading machine AV-98 Ingram, and it has been three-dimensionalized with figures and plastic models so far.
The MODEROID series was released at a relatively early stage, but a defect in the parts was discovered immediately after the release, and it was temporarily collected from the store. After a period of about one month, the product with the repaired parts was reshipped, and the parts were sent to the purchaser. The kits currently on the market are now in a situation where they can be completed with peace of mind without any problems, so I would like to take this opportunity to send you a review.
"A12" parts that had a molding defect. I was a little surprised that the A12 parts replacement parts, which had a chip on the face part with the visor and were correctly molded on the right, were sent by Runner A as a whole, not by themselves.Exchange correspondence is 2 years, you can check on the official websiteThis review produced the "MODEROID TYPE-J9 Griffon Flight & Aqua Unit Set" sold exclusively at the Good Smile Online Shop. Aqua unit parts are added to the regular version "MODEROID TYPE-J9 Griffon", and you can choose between two styles by replacing them. Replacement parts have arrived to the author as well, so I will deliver the reviews in a state that reflects them.
The TYPE-J9 Griffon is an experimental prototype laborer developed by Shaft Enterprise Japan Planning Division 7 and the company's Tsuchiura Research Institute, and was designed based on a completely different concept from the existing laborer system. It was developed out of profitability for the purpose of technological development, not the sale of the aircraft itself, it is not compatible with other labors at all, and everything from power, speed, manipulator delicacy has non-standard performance. .. The OS is equipped with the phantom "ASURA" developed by the Jonan Institute of Technology Okoyanagi Laboratory. This OS allows the Labor to move like a living thing, but in exchange it puts a heavy burden on the aircraft. (Reference: Mobile Police Patlabor Official Website)
package. The factory was drawn in the background of the regular version, but only the two patterns of the griffon body were drawn in the limited edition. The familiar inner box of the MODEROID series, which is monochrome and only the camera is produced in red.The instruction manual comes with the aqua unit instruction manual as well as the normal version.The passenger is Badrinath Harchand. Plan 7 In the plan of Utsumi section chief and others, attacked a joint exercise of the Self-Defense Forces and the US military in Ogasawara to demonstrate the aircraft performance. After that, he appeared at the Tokyo International Labor Show venue in Harumi, Tokyo, fought a fight with Shinohara Heavy Industries' new Labor AVS-98 and Ingram No. 2 of the 2nd Platoon, and left the scene using the flight unit on his back. After that, it caused a labor terrorist attack targeting Ingram of the 2nd platoon, and was finally defeated after a fierce fight with Unit 1 and self-destructed to destroy evidence.
It is a villain raver that represents the work, and its appearance is also very different from the general work raver. Although it is a bipedal type, it has a silhouette reminiscent of a fantasy monster that represents its name, such as an antenna that protrudes greatly behind the head, limbs made up of curves, and huge wings on the back. The wing-like flight unit mounted on the back is a flight device for emergency withdrawal, and can be replaced with an aqua unit, enabling underwater activities.
A parts, B parts C parts. There are two D parts. This is also 2 E parts and F parts. There are two G parts, H parts, I parts, J parts GA parts, GB parts, GC parts.It will be an additional part for the aqua unitThe griffon kitted this time is 1/60 scale that matches the scale of the MODEROID Patlabor series. The parts are molded in three colors, black, blue gray, and clear, and only the aqua unit that comes with the limited edition we are dealing with this time uses yellow molded parts. The main black parts are glossy molding, reproducing the black glowing aircraft that is the charm of Griffon. The chest markings are painted.
Each part has a glossy molding. There are two painted parts, here and the visor.Assembly starts from the head. The exterior is attached to the internal parts of the camera mold, but the problem this time was the part that corresponds to the face on the front of the head. The groove of the visor, which is the eye of Griffon, was missing, and not only did it look bad, but it also had the negative effect that the clear parts were not firmly fixed. This clear part comes with clear red paint and unpainted ones.
Connect the in-head camera and neck joint. If you paint the area around the camera with silver etc., attach an exterior etc. that may make the clear red of the visor look a little more.The photo shows the one using replacement parts. The antenna consists of two parts on one side. The head is completed by attaching the antenna.Next is the torso. Built-in neck, shoulder and hip joints in the chest. Each has a forward swing mechanism, expanding the range of movement when completed. The design of the chest is supported by a separate part that fits from the back along with the painted part. The hip joint at the waist is equipped with a mechanism that slides up and down, similar to Ingram. The lamp around the waist is unpainted and there are no stickers, so it might be a good idea to paint it easily. Since the parts are ABS, we recommend water-based paint for painting.
The inside of the chest is made up of 6 parts with movable joints, etc. The inside is assembled. Chest armor that allows the shoulders to swing back and forth and the waist to swing up and down. The central triangle is painted. The left and right molds are separate parts, and the armor is attached to the internal parts that are attached from the inside. The completed chest. The cylinder on the neck and the pattern on the collar look good when painted. The joints at the base of the legs inside the waist attach armor and tail wings that can move up and down like Ingram.The back side of the waist parts may be glued because the dowels will come off and rise easily.There is nothing particularly difficult about assembling the limbs. The shoulders and wrists are double-jointed, allowing for finer movements. An internal cylinder is modeled inside the ankle, and it moves in conjunction with the movement of the ankle. As with Ingram, the sealing of the arms, legs, and abdomen is made by molding parts.
Built-in two joints on the shoulder Complete the shoulder to attach the cover under the armor. Assembling two sets of arms. The upper arm that fits to the left and right is easy to come off and may come off from the shoulder, so if you want to move it, it is recommended to glue the seams. Assembling inside the ankle.The cylinder connected by the ball joint covers the armor of the freely moving ankle. Attach the armor to the internal parts of the knee and sneak and assemble the left and right to connect each to complete the leg.The wing, which is a trademark of the Griffon flight type, is designed to sandwich the joint between two wing parts, and can swing up and down by itself. Since the axis on the backpack side that sets this is also movable, you can reproduce the appearance that the wings shown at the time of withdrawal in the play are wide open. On the other hand, the aqua unit that comes with the limited edition has no moving parts on the main body side and depends on the movement of the shaft.
The wing is completed by making two sets that cover the upper part of the wing, which is assembled by sandwiching the joint between the two wing parts. Some seams are the assembly of the backpack that is part of the wing mold. The joint that attaches the wings is an assembly of a limited edition aqua unit that can move up and down and back and forth. The yellow duct is the exterior of the aqua unit to which parts are attached from the inside. Completion of aqua unit with a structure that attaches the lower left duct from the inside. There are no moving parts in the parts. This is a part that fills the place where the tail of the waist was removed when the aqua unit was equipped. Purchased at Amazon / Rakuten:© HEADGEAR
