Chinese Name: Soulgain

Pilot: Axel Almer
Debut Work: "Super Robot Wars A"
Soulgain is the personal unit of Captain Axel Almer, who holds a position second only to Wendolo Mauza within the Earth Federation Army's special mission execution unit, "Shadow-Mirror." Among the five selectable protagonist units in Super Robot Wars A, Angelg focuses on range, Gespenst Mk-II S focuses on mobility, ASH focuses on movement, Wildschwein focuses on accuracy, while Soulgain emphasizes critical hit rate and attack power.
Soulgain is a melee-type unit, primarily attacking with punches and elbows. It is equipped with the "Direct Feed System," which directly maps the pilot's thoughts to the unit's movements. In Super Robot Wars OG, Soulgain once intruded into the SRW operation during the L5 battle, where it was referred to by the Earth Federation Army as the mysterious unit "Mustache Man."
In Super Robot Wars A, Soulgain's specific origin is unknown. In OGS, Soulgain was a prototype unit from the Tesla-Leicht Institute in the "Other World." In OGG, the unit was repaired by the Regeneration System and the Soul Seat, joining as an allied support unit.
I can say with certainty that my love for Super Robot Wars OG is second to none!
Crafted by sculptor Takao Kinoshita (BENCHMARK), this fully articulated figure allows players to fully enjoy a "wide range of articulation" for various poses and a "sculptural beauty" that brings the game's battle animations to life! The paintwork utilizes a low-gloss metallic blue to convey a sense of gravitas and premium quality. The internal structure heavily incorporates a die-cast frame, achieving a substantial weight and stable posability. With interchangeable parts, the extending arc-horn during attacks can be replicated, and the Genbu Goudan and Genbu Kongoudan can be installed as desired, with the included display stand and support recreating their firing states! By swapping to the LED-illuminated hand parts, the limiter release state can also be reproduced! The crystal-like parts, molded in clear plastic throughout the body, glow under UV light, offering high playability!
The main body stands approximately 250mm tall. Accessories are abundant, including LED-illuminated hand parts (left and right), arc-horns for slashing (gold x1, white x2), interchangeable parts for Genbu Kongoudan, interchangeable parts for Kongoudan firing, a set of crystal parts for Kirin activation, a dedicated display stand, and batteries (LR621x4), among others.
The main body's sculpt is intricate and clean; those who appreciate a sense of weight can add extra points for that! The articulation is essentially flawless, allowing for any cool pose (special moves) without difficulty. Each joint, from head to toe, cleverly avoids most armor collision points, letting you pose it freely and confidently. One must admire the designer's effort and ingenuity in the joints! The paintwork is also very clean and crisp; not a speck of dust was found even in highly visible areas like the glossy white or metallic blue. Bandai truly needs to learn from Sentinel here! The QC is excellent, and the appearance closely matches the original design. Overall, apart from the price, there are truly no flaws... Of course, the price isn't its flaw; it's my flaw...
I reiterate that my love for Super Robot Wars OG is second to none! I hope to see Soulgain again someday... Another D.M.S. Best Buy@2025! A must-have for SRW fans!
