Robot Spirits Damashii Guren Nishiki Online Exclusive Review

 Lets take a look at :

 It reads : Guren Nishiki / Red Lotus Warrior (Literal Chinese/Kanji Translation )
That Reads : Tamashii Online Store Limited/Exclusive

 The Figure by itself, without any accessories.

 The CockPit ( Note the Small hole at the black spot for *something to be added on )


The Robot Spirits Damashii Guren Nishiki with the Cockpit attached.

     

Note : Though its not clear in the phots, but there is a Large Gap in between the shoulder armour and the ball join. This serves a purpose, which will be revealed later but by itself, it adds some disatisfaction with the figure with a gap before its 2 arms.

This can be overcome by Posing the figure with its Shoulders closer to the body and the Shoulder Armour pointing upwards, but still....



Top View


Cockpit Opens.


Next : What else does the figure comes with -


Knife to be held in the left hand ( Different Arm to equip it included )


There ! An arm holding the dagger.


The Original Right Radiation Wave Surger Arm of the Guren Nishiki.


Its Arm from a front shot.

Note : The Thumb only turns around its ball joint, no movement there.

Note : The other 4 fingers has movement capabilites, although they are quite limited.

Note : Its actually Quite Small (Maybe its just me), its not really intimidating as it should be(Purely my own Personal Opinion)


Strike a High-Five Pose(Even though this pose kills other knightmares...)

  
Note : Arm is not able to immitate the Discharging of the Radiation Charge Ammunition(Unlike the Model 1/35 Guren Nishiki)


Guren Nishiki with 2nd type of Radiation Wave Surger Arm

Note : This counts as an Accessory.

Note : Its Longer, when extended its almost as tall as the figure (Note the Akward Pose)...


Strike A Pose...



Figure with its Landspinners Deployed

Note : Very accurated LandSpinners, wheels actually move.
Plancement of this part is wonderful, it actually fits and deploys out nice and easy.

Note : With 2 large holes at the leg areas when deployed, it may be some kind of Pet Peeve for some people(Me, a little).

Final Pose(For this Review)



The left arm can turn about its double join / Ball Joint at the elbow to "Flip" the Grenade launcher up(Something the 1/35 can't accomplish).

There's also another Open Palm arm for the left Arm, not shown here(Sorry)


As seen in this pic above, the claw is indeed quite small... T.T

Positive Remarks :
  • Good articulation for the arms
  • Solid Colours
  • Both original and 2nd Radiation Arms included
  • Robot Spirits decided to cover this Mech at last(I wonder if its the same schematic from the OFFSHOOT Guren though...)
Could improve on :
  • No Waist Aritculation (This might be in lieu with its *other purpose not mentioned here, yet)
  • The "Belt" on both its legs hinders movement and its poses, thuis it can only crouch or extend 1 leg infront of the other to show its "moving".
  • Original Radiation Wave Surger Arm is a little too small, just a little.
  • A Sizable Gap from the shoulders to the body makes its feel akward
