I just feel “Rhythm Emotion”
この胸の鼓動は
あなたへと続いてる so far away...
▼The RG line, which has been releasing new products like squeezing toothpaste in recent years, has now reached its 43rd entry.
▼However, it feels somewhat familiar. After all, counting on my fingers, this is already the 4th Wing Gundam released as a general retail RG. Compared to the flimsy Wing Zero (Endless Waltz Ver.) released in 2014, after more than ten years, both the level of detail and the price have grown exponentially.
▼With the release of Wing Zero, it can finally be paired with the lonely Gundam Epyon.
▼First, the most intuitive feeling during assembly was... why are there so many parts!
▼The part separation design of this RG Wing Gundam Zero is truly sincere, completely eliminating the pre-molded inner frame. The overall structure is solid and robust, and the rich color separation gives it a level of detail that surpasses even Master Grade (MG).
▼The weapons are simply the Twin Buster Rifle and the shield. Although it's the protagonist's mobile suit that appeared in the later stages of the anime, all the main characters have actually piloted it at some point.
▼Perhaps it can be considered a "public transportation weapon" in some sense (people die in it!).
▼The most eye-catching feature on the chest is undoubtedly the translucent ZERO System core.
▼The heat dissipation covers for the ZERO System on both sides can be opened, and the cockpit hatch on the abdomen can also be deployed, but there's nothing inside, just a feint.
▼The two Gatling Guns above the chest require lifting the white cover first before the gun barrels can be flipped out.
▼The space is small, making it a bit fiddly to operate; you'll need to bring your own tweezers.
▼The shoulder armor can be deployed in two stages, revealing the internal thrusters.
▼The signature Beam Sabers can also be pulled out from the top. The arms are connected to the body with ball joints, offering decent articulation, but this design feels like a step backward.
▼The ball joint for the rifle-holding hand has an extended design, so when holding the separated rifles with both hands, they remain stable and don't droop.
▼Moving to the lower body, when the legs bend, there's a very exaggerated armor-splitting gimmick, which looks fantastic!
▼The feet also use ball joints; the damping feels good for now, and there are thrusters on the soles.
▼Now, let's proceed with the transformation process starting from the legs. Flip the feet and store them inside the calves.
▼The rifle and shield combine to form the head. The wings on both sides of the shield can deploy via internal gears.
▼The cool "Neo-Bird Mode" is completed with a single transformation!
▼Oh, I almost forgot, the internal frame details of the wings are also quite realistic.
▼Rotate the upper switch, and the outer thrusters will have a linked "blooming" effect. Heero, this is truly amazing!
▼Since it's Wing, let it spread its wings and fly outdoors~
▼Compared to the highly popular angelic pose of the EW version, the TV version's color scheme has a more distinct 90s mechanical style.
▼Whether in terms of styling, articulation, or structural stability, RG has reached another milestone.
▼However, I still hope the next release will be from a different series. I'm eagerly awaiting a Gundam X from the Heisei Gundam Trilogy~
▼Finally, let's end with the Wing Gundam's peacock-like display.
