[Fafner in the Azure] Massive Volume of Approximately 190mm! The Popular Fafner in the Azure Unit, Fafner Mark Vier Kai Abaddon, Debuts from MODEROID with Special Specifications Boasting Free Range of Motion!

Those who are familiar with the name “Fafner Mark Vier Kai Abaddon” must be deeply immersed in the world of the series. This plastic model has a presence that truly embodies the “grotesque beauty of the unit.” While it's a manageable size with a total height of approximately 190mm, the density of the sculpting is simply stunning. You can experience the luxury of recreating that ominous yet divine figure seen in the anime by assembling it with your own hands.

It would be a waste to just display it. That is the true essence of this kit. Each joint is fully movable, allowing for free and aggressive posing during combat. Of particular note are the deployment gimmicks for the Cannon Type Accelerator and forearm blade, which can be reproduced by replacing parts. The level of reproduction is so high that you might even feel the illusion that a moment from the show has stopped in time and is right there. The meticulous detail, such as the ability to reproduce the extension of the rear stabilizers by part replacement, truly shows the dedication of the development team.

The two main armaments, Medusa and Gungnir (Gundrake), cannot be overlooked. The Gungnir (Gundrake) can be transformed into its firing mode by swapping parts, and even includes effect parts specifically for when it is firing. The transparency of the effects combined with the precision of the structure allows for easy creation of dynamic expressions. In particular, the recreation of the Worm Sword manifestation is beautifully highlighted by the clear parts, constantly stimulating the builder's creative desire.

Another attraction of this model is the production of realism incorporated throughout. For example, soft parts are used for the cable extending from the Medusa to the waist, increasing the sense of reality by adding flexibility to the rugged impression. Furthermore, water-slide decals can reproduce the markings on various parts, significantly enhancing the model's finished quality. The fact that the combination of molded colors and pre-painted parts brings it incredibly close to the image from the show, even without painting, is also a welcome feature.

The most important aspects of a plastic model are the coexistence of “fun to build” and “joy to display.” This “Fafner Mark Vier Kai Abaddon” fulfills both of these at a high level. The armament deployment gimmicks, the freedom of posing, and the dense parts composition—any of these is sure to move the hearts of even those who aren't Fafner fans.
