Gypsy Danger, the 3rd generation Jaeger on board Raleigh and Mako, participates in the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN! The unique form and mechanical details of a martial artist have been reproduced to the utmost in 3D. Comes with a pedestal that can be displayed upright. The landmark is the hot stamped package, which is over 40 cm in height.
With a body height of about 230 mm and die-casting of major joints, this item has an outstanding weight and presence. Let's get closer and take a look at the details.
Exquisite colors are reproduced by the molded color in the dark blue part, and clear parts are used for the head visor and the core part of the chest. Marking of the whole body including the chest pinnapping girl is also printed. The contrast between the massive upper body and the back side where the power pipe and the cylinder are exposed is also a point you want to see carefully.
This item is equipped with a light-up ver. A.N.I.M.E., and when you insert the included battery into the back and flip the switch (arrow in the upper left image), the chest, neck, and visor will light up. The light on the chest changes from red to yellow to blue, then turns orange and shines for a certain period of time. You can see this smooth light change in the video.
※ The included batteries are for testing. Please refer to the instruction manual for replacement and handling.
Among the many movable figures of the soul brand, the weight and texture as if you were holding the "real thing" are the elements unique to the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN. This gypsy danger has a structure that allows you to enjoy a wide range of poses that make use of your long limbs. Let's reproduce various scenes in the play, such as poses where the shoulders and arms are movable and the fists are put together at startup, fighting scenes, kneeling with twisted hips, and so on.
Although there is no transformation or combination ver. A.N.I.M.E., not only is the appearance reproduced, but the chest plate moves when you turn your arms, and the thigh shaft moves when you bend your knees. This delicate ver. A.N.I.M.E. that tickles the robot heart is also something that can only be enjoyed with SOUL OF CHOGOKIN.
Many would cite the Gipsy Danger vs. Leather Bag & Otachi fight as one of the best battles in the Pacific Rim movie. This battle in Hong Kong S.A.R, where Gipsy Danger overcame the threat of teamwork between Kaiju, perfectly encapsulates her fighting style. SOUL OF CHOGOKIN includes the "Plasma Caster," "Chain Sword," and "Tanker" used in this battle, along with various interchangeable hand parts. Let's take a look at each of them.
"Plasma castor" which beat leather bag by continuous fire of angry waves replicated from the elbow to reproduce the deployed state. Set the test battery and pull a part of the elbow part (upper image arrow), the tip part will emit pale white.
A steel hammer reminiscent of a punch launched in a rocket"Elbow Rocket"!The armor of the forearm can move independently of the internal frame, and the arm extends forward when the elbow parts are pushed.
Sword start! For my family! !
The chain sword extended from both arms comes with two sword-like things and two whip-like things expanded in bellows shape. Along with the roar of Mako, one flash that has torn up a horn in high altitude revives!
Even if we evolve KAIJU, Jaeger never yields ... ...!
The tanker attached to the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN is modeled and painted in detail with the aim of creating a figure of "the real tanker itself". And the trace of the finger sunk into the hull. This is the proof that Jaeger, the last bastion of mankind, will not give up victory.
At "Pacific Rim", tanker is a weapon!
The mind-blowing tanker-swinging attack is also available in SOUL OF CHOGOKIN
