【GUNxSWORD】 Let's reproduce the overwhelming firepower with heavy firearms unleashed from a tough huge body! The Armor “Volkein” operated by Ray Lundgren turns into a 3D model with commitment!

If you know the TV anime “GUNxSWORD,” just hearing “Volkein will become a plastic model” might bring its rugged figure to mind. The Armor “Volkein” operated by Ray Lundgren has appeared as MODEROID. Total height at completion is approximately 165mm, with a specification where each joint is articulated. Not only can you assemble the impressive form in the show with your own hands, but being able to display it while changing poses is a fun unique to plastic models. Because replacement wrist parts are prepared as well, rather than just making it stand upright, it can also be finished into a figure reminiscent of battle scenes holding weapons. Attention goes to the richness of armament as well, answering people who want to say “Speaking of Volkein, it's firepower.”

When speaking of Volkein's charm, abundant heavy firearms cannot be left out after all. The Tri-Gatling Rifle and Energy Bullet Cannon are attached to this product, allowing you to enjoy power typical of an airframe good at shooting battles even in models. Furthermore, a Diffusion Cloak is prepared, which is detachable. Because silhouettes and atmospheres can be changed depending on combinations of equipment, being able to enjoy displaying saying “Today let's display in this state” is also a point. Each part is color-separated by runner color, with painted parts adopted in part as well. Therefore, without assuming painting, it is a structure where assembling finishes it to color schemes close to setting images. Of course there is also a way to enjoy painting details to your liking, but it is content easy to reach out for even people who want to complete a Volkein-like figure first by straight assembly.

Looking at an airframe loaded with this many weapons makes it seem developed assuming combat against formidable enemies from the beginning. However, Volkein is an Armor originally manufactured for the purpose of underground resource cycling, being an airframe considered not originally for combat when thinking of its origin. Despite that, it demonstrates tremendous shooting ability in actual combat, possessing combat ability enough to fight on equal terms with Van's Dann of Thursday. Furthermore, unusually for an Armor, it is equipped even with optical weapons. Utilizing geothermal energy, there is also a unique setting that it can act semi-permanently if underground, holding a background that does not end with a mere “robot loaded with many weapons.” Including up to the point that it usually moves underground via the drill-type mobile base Jingu, the personality of the mecha known as Volkein becomes visible more clearly.

And the greatest reason making Volkein a special existence is not specs alone. The one in charge of designing this Armor was Ray's wife, Shino. In other words, for Ray, Volkein is a tool for fighting, and at the same time an existence that can be called a memento left by his wife. Looking at the airframe after thinking like that, do not even heavy armor and huge weapons reflect a little differently? Including the figure where Ray activates it saying “Sanctions Charge,” the pilot's story itself is engraved in Volkein. Not only mecha performance, precisely because it is an Armor where emotional attachment deepens the more you know the drama of “GUNxSWORD,” compatibility with MODEROID where you can assemble it one by one with your own hands holds something extremely interesting.

“MODEROID Volkein” packed with articulation mechanisms, replacement wrists, characteristic heavy firearms, and even a detachable Diffusion Cloak within an easy-to-handle size of approximately 165mm. Enjoying color separation conscious of ease of assembly is fine, making it ready weapons to imagine fierce battles in the show is fine, and producing thoroughly while looking back at settings is fine. Not only completing is the purpose, but savoring up to the process where parts become “that Volkein” little by little is the real pleasure of plastic models. For people who saw through Ray's fight in “GUNxSWORD,” the moment looking at the completed airframe, even the words “Sanctions Charge” spontaneously come to mind, it seems to become such a figure.
