FAV-A123 Hamoku
In the dazzling, neon-lit capital of Miyagi in Yamato, where light cannot penetrate the darkest corners, an armed field unit responsible for handling major incidents within the capital is deployed—the Reika (Kaika) Unit. When encountering criminal organizations or terrorists that the police cannot handle, or when facing potential threats such as endangering critical national facilities or assassinating dignitaries and royalty, the Reika Unit is tasked with covert armed cleanup operations.
Silent and deadly. The Hamoku soldiers of the Reika Unit possess formidable close-combat capabilities, blending ancient techniques with modern technology. Wielding captivating and lethal blades, they effortlessly slice through enemy armor as if cutting silk. They are the sharp blades in the dark, silent assassins who end conflicts. Wherever they go, only silence remains......
Accessories include a Katana, Tachibana-style Revolver x 2, and Grenade x 2, among others!
FAV-A124 Ujaku
Ujaku, like the Shadow Soldiers, also belongs to the Reika Unit. As silent guardians of the regime, they are meant to be symbols of luck, bringing safety to the nation and its people; yet, they also portend death and destruction, mercilessly sweeping away the darkness. Just like where crows gather, the more they gather, the more bodies there are......
Accessories include an Oboro-style Rifle, Guren-style Machine Gun, Drum Magazine x 4, Ammo Box, Grenade x 2, Short Sword, Scabbard, and Small Ballistic Shield, among others!
This is a series I believe I've talked about so much I'm practically hoarse, which only proves how much I adore it! This time, this pair of Reika Unit members, in terms of appearance and design, I believe stand at the pinnacle of armored suits, especially the helmet design, which perfectly suits my taste. As for the joints, there's no need for much introduction; articulation is high, but there's a slightly sticky feeling when handling them. The weathering paint application is as rich as ever, but some areas, like the helmet, were a bit overdone. I simply used thinner to wipe away the excess paint bleed. The weapons are also equally abundant, especially for Ujaku!
I have nothing more to add! Just buy a few more to assemble a small squad!
