by BANDAI SPIRITS Collectors Division released the action figure “GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE MS-06R-1A High Mobility Type Zaku II” on August 7th.
This product is based on the MS in the OVA version of “Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN.” Gaia, Ortega, and Mash’s ” Black Tertiary Star ” boarded and achieved outstanding results in the Loum campaign. The “GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE” series is a mechanical designer, Hajime Katoki. It is supervised by him and produced with various commitments. It is a series that can be said to be “the highest peak of the finished MS figure” with heavyweight using many metal parts, large size with a total height of about 180 mm, precise details, and painting and marking applied to the whole body. We asked Mr. Taro Inayoshi of the BANDAI SPIRITS Collectors Division, who is in charge of planning this product, about the “GFFMC Zaku I (Char’s exclusive machine)” released in January. We will conduct an online interview this time as well. We will discuss Mr. Katoki’s particular points, detailed highlights, and points in developing “GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE MS-06R-1A High Mobility Type Zaku II”. I was able to hear it.
Brush up at various points to “play as a three-dimensional object” in the animation settings! The biggest attraction of “GFF MC High Mobility Type Zaku II” is its texture. The Collector’s Division also develops “METAL BUILD,” “METAL ROBOT soul,” etc., as high-quality figures with “Gundam” as a motif, but “GFFMC” has a motif such as MS of the One Year War, the texture of all paint, etc. There is a feature of. Above all, “a high-quality Zaku II figure that uses many metal parts” is a big attraction. The high mobility type Zaku II was initially born from the model project “MSV.” The design has a strong impact as a variation of Zaku II, which has a large vernier on the legs of Zaku and a large backpack that makes you feel higher mobility than normal Zaku. The increased mobility type Zaku II of “Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN” has been brushed up sharper and cooler by Mr. Hajime Katoki. Mr. Inayoshi is afoot gimmicked as a point of interest of the main body of “GFF MC High Mobility Type Zaku II. “I mentioned the function of the backpack. This series focuses on the degree of freedom of joints and the gimmick that allows the knees to bend deeply. Still, the High Mobility Zaku II legs have become more extensive due to the addition of vernier.
On the other hand, it is said that it can be bent deeply by the mechanism that slides the parts on the back of the knee.
Furthermore, the “thigh line” is also a particular point of Mr. Katoki. The line is slightly different from other Zaku. It also features a large backpack, but Katoki is unique about the movement of the thrust vectoring paddle on the side of the bag. Not only does it spread to the left and right, but it also supports vertical rolls. That’s what Inayoshi said. And “armed.” In “Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN,” Gaia, Ortega, and Mash will sortie with different weapons. “GFF MC High Mobility Type Zaku II” can reproduce the armament of each of the three aircraft with many weapon parts. The primary weapon of the Gaia machine is the “MS Bazooka A type” that was also included in the previous series, but the feature is that the left shoulder is not the spiked armor but the same L-shaped shield as the right shoulder.
Bazooka cartridges can be attached to the security, so three cartridges can be attached to the product. The mash machine is an “anti-ship rifle for MS.” This rifle will be a new part. This gun is owned by Char’s Zaku II at the beginning of “Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN” and “GFFMC” If you have “Char’s Zaku II,” you can reproduce this scene. This anti-ship rifle has Mr. Katoki’s commitment in the “magazine.” Like the bazooka cartridge, you can attach multiple magazines to the shield. “Anti-ship rifles have a lot of ammunition, and one magazine would shoot them out quickly? You would have carried multiple magazines,” Katoki thought, incorporating this gimmick.
The gimmick that attaches this magazine to the shield is not in the animation. It is the original gimmick of this product. And the Ortega machine “Giant Heat Hawk” is said to be a weapon that Mr. Katoki and Mr. Inayoshi thought about. The total length is about 260 mm, the overwhelming huge body more prominent than the main body, the blade reproduces the heat generation state and the standby state by exchanging, and it is also possible to make the handle shorter by reassembling the handle. The focus is on the head of the ax. There are four vernier scales, two on each side, and when you swing it down, you can deploy the vernier and hit the blade at a tremendous speed by this acceleration. This gimmick is Mr. Katoki’s idea, but there were two methods to make the trick of vernier development three-dimensional, “reproduction by deformation” and “reproduction with replacement parts.” Still, Mr..” Still, Mr. Inayoshi strongly recommended “transformation.”. If you make it a deformed gimmick, the vernier will become smaller when you store it. Still, Mr. Inayoshi said that he wanted the user to develop the vernier by hand and imagine its activity, prioritizing “fun as a toy.” “Playing as a toy” is the part that Mr. Inayoshi is aware of in product development. “GFFMC It is not set even in “High Mobility Type Zaku II,” and it may be difficult considering the weight balance in operation, but it is original with “Fully equipped” equipped with all the weapons of each Black Tertiary Star and the commander mark, etc. I want you to pursue how to play.
Furthermore, we are particular about the pedestal. Specifications such as the total length of the high mobility type Zaku II are written on the pedestal, but the width of the Gaia machine is different because both shoulders are L-shaped shields. These detailed notations tickle the hearts of fans. In addition, Mr. Inayoshi said that the more complex the markings and the shape of each part, the more enjoyable discoveries would be made. Currently, Tokyo is under an emergency, but at TAMASHII NATIONS TOKYO in Akihabara, a luxurious exhibition of three “GFFMC High Mobility Type Zaku II” is being held. This time, I received a unique photo of the venue. In addition, the black three-star color “Zaku I,” which is a reference exhibit, is also on display, so it is essential to pay attention. Finally, Mr. Inayoshi sent a message to the user, “This time, the high mobility type Zaku II has been released. As a plan, we are planning to expand the lineup in the future. Maybe that aircraft will come out? … Please look forward to future information while enjoying the forecast. ” High Mobility Zaku II is a very cool design that can be said to be an enhanced version of normal Zaku II. I felt that the “GFFMC High Mobility Type Zaku II,” which incorporates various gimmicks based on the idea of ”three-dimensionalizing and expanding the range of play,” is a beautiful product. Please check it out.
