First of all, the very fact that this ”Final Hund Set & Jerry Can Man” is being re-released speaks volumes about the value of this product. It is never a coincidence when something once acclaimed is sought after again. Even within the unique world of Maschinen Krieger, this set features machines symbolizing the ”late period,” making it a must-see not only for collectors but also for those who value narrative depth.

Included in the set are three armament-reinforced models from the Großer Hund lineage. While the Dachshund, Masquerade, and Kyklop each have distinct personalities, they share a common impression of being ”ultimately refined combat machines.” In particular, the Kyklop’s enhanced weaponry and enlarged armor go beyond mere variation, featuring details that allow one to imagine its role on the battlefield and the process of its evolution. When these three machines are lined up, it is truly interesting to see a ”flow” rather than a simple comparison.

The appeal of this kit lies not only in its finished form. The design, which allows for adjusting the angles of the head and elbows, enables you to create a slightly different atmosphere even with the same machine. For example, just a slight shift in the line of sight can make it look as if it is on alert or searching for enemies. There are moments when that change makes you feel a sense of ”will” in what should be an inorganic mecha. The ability to add your own expression during the assembly process is a charm that pre-assembled figures do not have.

The name ”Final Hund Set” is not just a product name. This term, coined by the original creator Hiroshi Yokoyama himself, carries the implication of being the ”final destination” for the Großer Hund-type ground models. In other words, this set represents a milestone in the series, and its significance grows the more you know about the background story. The way a single name can expand the imagination to such an extent is a charm unique to this series.

And one must not forget the presence of the ”Jerry Can Man.” By being placed among the rugged group of mecha, he plays a role greater than that of a mere accessory figure. Is it a scene from a battlefield, a break during resupply, or a moment of daily life? With the addition of a small human presence, fragments of a story that were invisible with just the machines begin to emerge. This ”difference in temperature” significantly raises the overall level of perfection.

The fact that decals with brand-new markings are included is also not to be missed. Depending on the type of painting and the placement of the markings, the same kit can result in a completely different impression. Precisely because there is no pre-established finished form, there is room to reflect your own interpretation, and that level of freedom makes you strongly feel the true pleasure of model-making.
