Surely many people feel, “This mecha is special after all.” Not only those who know “Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon,” but even those who have not yet seen the series, will naturally have their eyes captured by its beautiful silhouette and power when they see the MODEROID Villkiss right in front of them. It is not just cool, but also exudes a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, making it a figure that provides satisfaction just by looking at it after completion. I felt that the great appeal of this kit lies in the fact that you can experience both the fun of assembling it as a plastic model and the joy of displaying it as a finished product.

Once you actually start assembling it, you will be surprised by how well the colors are separated. Because it combines molding colors and pre-painted parts, it shapes up into an appearance close to its image in the series even without painting. It looks great while skipping difficult painting processes, and the feeling of accumulating a sense of achievement each time it is completed is exceptional. The fact that it is easy to approach even for those challenging the MODEROID series for the first time, and yet offers a level of perfection that will fully satisfy experienced builders, is a very welcome point.

What shows its true value after completion is its high articulation performance and transformation gimmick. Since each joint moves firmly, you can freely recreate powerful poses reminiscent of the series. Furthermore, by using dedicated parts, it is designed so that you can enjoy both the Destroyer Mode and Flight Mode, and the impression changes completely just by changing how you display it. With dynamic combat scenes today and a gracefully flying appearance the next day, you can change the display according to your mood, making it a kit you can enjoy for a long time without getting tired of it.

The abundance of accessories cannot be overlooked either. With the inclusion of the Assault Rifle and the Zanrin-to (Scalp-Severing Sword), you can fully recreate the unique combat style of the Villkiss. Not only that, but a left-hand part for expressing the Frozen Bullet firing scene is also provided, allowing you to enjoy posing while recalling impressive scenes from the series. The rear wings can also be changed to the deployed state through parts replacement, and the point that it can create a dynamic feeling as if it is about to take off right now, despite being a static model, is highly attractive.

This kit also pays very careful attention to detail. Adding information with the water-slide decals instantly creates a density characteristic of a finished product. Just by including detailed markings, the persuasiveness of the entire mecha increases, and the satisfaction of having finished it with your own hands grows even greater. The size is also easy to handle, and since it is firmly sculpted down to the details, it is worth looking at from any angle after completion. The more time you take to finish it, the deeper your attachment will become, and it will become a figure that radiates a presence within your collection.

What is even more pleasing is that it even comes with a mini-figure of Ange that can be placed on the Flight Mode. This small accessory expands the world of the series significantly, creating fun that does not end with just a simple robot model. For those who know the series, it becomes an occasion to recall famous scenes, and for those experiencing it for the first time, it becomes an attractive presentation that allows them to feel the worldview. With articulation, transformation, abundant armaments, fine finishing elements, and even accessories that make you feel the love for the series all gathered together, the MODEROID Villkiss can be said to be a highly satisfying plastic model that will let you fully enjoy both the assembly time and the appreciation time after completion.
