Garegoyle
The Garegoyle, successor to the Bialess developed by the Kingdom of Ku from the "Aura Fhantasm" series, finally makes its debut in the ROBOT SPIRITS lineup. This unit's appearance strongly resembles an enhanced version of the Bialess, with its design showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship accumulated through the
The Garegoyle boasts a remarkably realistic sculpt, perfectly capturing the distinctive characteristics of an Aura Battler. The intricate detailing faithfully reproduces the look from the original illustrations.
The main body stands approximately 170mm tall! Accessories include three pairs of interchangeable hands, two Aura Battle Axes, Aura Battle Axe extension handles, two Aura Battle Axe connectors, and wire claws.
The main body is primarily constructed from semi-gloss injection-molded plastic, while the cockpit hatch is made of clear parts. The richly textured colors highlight the armor's contours, and combined with its substantial, solid sculpting, it delivers a powerful visual impact. Its distinctive skirt-like waist armor is a defining feature, with the muscle fiber textures inside the armor meticulously sculpted. The Aura Converter on its back is massive, and its reverse-jointed leg design provides excellent ground contact.
Regarding articulation, the head is connected via a ball joint, the shoulder armor can move up and down, and both the upper and lower arms feature swivel articulation. The claws on the wrists are connected by ball joints. The machine gun position at the top of the Aura Converter can rotate. The neck can swing back and forth. The shoulders are pull-out joints, allowing them to swing forward from the chest. The cockpit hatch opens and closes, and the two-layered hatches on both sides of the abdomen can also open, revealing a sculpted interior seat. Simply put, the articulation is phenomenal!
Due to the waist skirt armor, the hip joint design limits the outward spread of the legs. The claws on both sides of the ankles are connected by ball joints, as are the skirt armor thrusters, meaning they can easily detach if not handled carefully during posing. Furthermore, while the articulation is outstanding, the joints are relatively loose, and some poses may cause the figure to become unstable due to joint issues. Another point of contention is the color! Honestly, the main body's color differs quite significantly from the official promotional images. However, I've chosen to accept it.
Despite its minor flaws, the strengths far outweigh the weaknesses! Its impressive sculpt and articulation allow me to confidently declare it one of D.M.S.'s Top 10 Best Buys of 2026!
