The long-awaited RX-78-02 Gundam that reproduces its new appearance!

First, from RX-78-02 Gundam. The main character, whose activity was not shown in the OVA "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin", has finally appeared in the latest footage. GFFMC has released THE ORIGIN version of Gundam so far, but this time it will reappear with the introduction of some new parts and renewed paint and markings as the "Cucuruz Doan's Island" specification. It is
In the setting in the play, it is a "mid-term type" that has been refurbished with Jaburo, and this commercialization reproduces the appearance with changed shoulder and chest parts.
And what I want you to pay attention to is the coloring. The coloring follows the image in the play, and the overall color tone is bright. The chest is a sky blue that is conscious of the TV series "Mobile Suit Gundam", which is the origin, and the white is a little yellow, giving it a warm atmosphere, and the presence in the play is reproduced as it is.

The head has been changed from the previous one to a new type. Director Yasuhiko is very particular about the Gundam's facial expressions, and even in "Cucuruz Doan's Island" he made fine adjustments for each cut. This commitment is also reproduced in this product. In the "Cucuruz Doan's Island" version, the shape around the twin eyes is characterized by the red part under the eyes becoming larger, so new shaped parts are used to match the play.
The impressive markings on both shoulders and around the chest are also reproduced in the play, and additional markings have been added to give a sense of unity as GFFMC.
The upper part of the chest also comes with a part that can reproduce the teaser illustration version drawn by Director Yasuhiko.

Next is the school bag. GFFMC's THE ORIGIN version of Gundam so far has been a version with five thrusters based on the setting of the original comic, but this time it uses new parts that conform to the setting in the play. With two thrusters, the simple shape familiar to fans of yesteryear has been reproduced.

In the scene where Gundam is active in "Cucuruz Doan's Island", the dual wielding of the beam saber is impressive. This scene of fighting with rare equipment that has only appeared a few times in the TV series can also be reproduced. The joint structure and stability that make full use of die-cast parts allow you to firmly hold the stance with your legs wide open.

Another impressive scene in "Cucuruz Doan's Island" is the battle with Doan's Zaku. Since the shoulder joint has a pull-out structure, it is possible to hold the beam saber with both hands. The range of motion of the legs allows you to squat even deeper, allowing you to recreate the famous scene where Doan's Zaku is attacked from below.

In the play, the beam rifle and shield that were equipped in the opening scene of arriving at the island, and the hyper bazooka that has not appeared in the play are also included. "Cucuruz Doan's Island" was a battle on the ground, but if you use the attached display stand, you can also display the image of the battle scene in outer space.

Next is the Doan-only Zaku on which Cucurus Doan is on board. In the TV series, he was depicted as slim due to the animation, but while using that appearance as an image source, he was described as ``a figure that has been used by deserters without proper maintenance, and the armor of each part has come off''. The designed variant Zaku is three-dimensionalized as set.
It's rare for a machine that is damaged and broken here and there to be commercialized as a finished product figure, so in that sense it can be said to be a valuable three-dimensional model.

The head has a distorted frame and has a slightly elongated shape. In particular, the armor under the mono-eye floats and creates a gap. The back of the head is also in a state where the armor has come off, and the internal frame is exposed. In the movie, the size of the mono-eye differs according to the screen production, so the parts can be rearranged to reproduce it, and the art is detailed.
The shoulder spike armor has a small protrusion that is different from the normal mass-produced Zaku. The power pipes are also well-represented, with some of the exterior parts removed, and there are many highlights.
The markings of the Southern Cross Corps are printed in multiple layers to express the fierce battle, as if some parts were peeled off.

Another point of interest for Doan's Zaku is the armor cracked and peeled off due to the damage of the attack, and the inner frame that can be seen from there. Due to this large amount of information, even though it is based on a mass-produced Zaku, it also expresses Doan's character, making it a creation that makes you want to take a closer look at each part. As for the paint, the dullness and faded image is expressed in a way that matches the damage expression, giving you the feeling of a battle-tested warrior.

The school bag is different from the mass-produced Zaku of THE ORIGIN that has been released at GFFMC so far, and expresses a simple shape similar to the TV series version with new parts. Of course, the opening and closing gimmick of the thruster cover is also included, which surprised many fans saying, "Is that what you meant?"

The GFFMC version of the Zaku had a reputation for its wide range of motion, and it has been inherited by the Doan-only Zaku. The pull-out joint structure of the shoulder allows you to completely reproduce the impressive heat-hawk action of "swinging back and slashing" in the play. You can also land after an attack or sit on your knees, so you can enjoy posing the famous scenes in the play.

In the play, it is a Zaku dedicated to Doan who fought with only one heat hawk, but in GFFMC there are plenty of optional parts. A variation of the Zaku machine gun and MS bazooka are included, so you can take action poses with firearms while imagining what they would have been like in the past. As for the Zaku Bazooka, mounting parts for the school bag are also included, so it is possible to make it a heavy armored figure carrying two Zaku Bazookas. You can enjoy various situations of Zaku dedicated to Doan without being bound by the image in the play.

Finally, in combination with Gundam, I tried to reproduce the attack scene from Doan's Zaku. Thanks to the use of die-casting for the joints, you can freely take bold poses, so why not try recreating various battle scenes?
Each item is attractive on its own, but by arranging them, you can have more fun decorating them, so be sure to get both.
