The Mark Sieben Alter Azazel, which appears in Fafner in the Azure: THE BEYOND and is known for the striking line, “I will have my eyes back,” has finally been made into a plastic model kit. As one of the units symbolizing the series, Azazel possesses a sculpted beauty that conveys “pain” and “destiny” in its very existence. This MODEROID kit reproduces both its delicate design and its power with uncompromising quality. The experience of building its three-dimensional form right before your eyes, while immersed in the world of Fafner, will be a truly blissful time for fans.

A noteworthy point of this model is the elaborate reproduction of its complex weapon structure. Especially the long-range rifle called “Dragon Tooth” can be transformed into a missile pod or monopod by swapping parts, allowing you to recreate the tension of the series with your own hands. Gimmicks such as the deployment of the aiming system and the extension/retraction of the monopod are also carefully engineered, and the structure that suggests “movement,” rather than just being a “decoration,” further enhances the appeal of this model. It is designed so that transformation and deployment via part swapping are smooth, making it a model that can be enjoyed repeatedly even after completion.

With an imposing head height of approximately 190mm, each joint is articulated. Since it can handle various poses, you can enjoy it endlessly, whether by recreating famous scenes from the show or displaying it in your own unique composition. Furthermore, the stabilizer on the back can be deployed without part swapping, and the change in the unit's silhouette, which could be called its “wings,” is truly dramatic. In addition, the forearm parts feature a gimmick to deploy internal blades, allowing for expressions that evoke close-quarters combat. There are no blind spots from any angle, possessing a beauty imbued with the tension of a combat machine.

As a consideration unique to MODEROID, some parts are pre-painted, allowing the color separation close to the anime's image to be reproduced simply through assembly. Furthermore, the beautiful contrast between the translucency of the clear parts and the respective molded colors results in a visually engaging finish. Water-slide decals for marking reproduction are also included, satisfying those who wish to finish every detail faithfully. While a sufficient level of completion can be achieved without painting, the fact that it possesses the “room” to make you want to add your own arrangements speaks to the depth of the model kit.
