The MG Sengoku has an overwhelming 53 points of articulation! Using 3-plane coordinates, articulation points are: neck (xyz), shoulders(xyz), hips (z), waist (x), legs (xyz), knees (y), ankles (xyz), foot (2), arms (xy), wrists (xy), fingers (3), and shoulder armor (xyxyz). Joint motion will be based on the number of points of articulation and the degree of articulation of the main joints (shoulders, elbow, wrist, waist, legs, knees, feet). Though the anime shows that the Sengoku can make Plavsky particle beams by slashing its swords and use Particle Fa Jin attacks, the kit does not include effects to show those attacks. To a casual observer, the MG Sengoku will simply seem like a Samurai-themed Gundam (something which the missus actually thought), which needs to fight an uphill battle against its gun-wielding opponents (and we all know what happened in the Last Samurai, guns overcame the sword in a battlefield). The Kata no Yoroi shoulder armor can be expanded in move with a 5-point articulation, it can also hold the katanas for other awesome poses. The Oni no Tate has the mouth opening gimmick, which looks fearsome, but can be “invisible” as people may prefer it to remain in backpack form. The katanas are chrome-coated, as such nubs are not chrome colored, so be very careful when cutting. The MG Sengoku is armed only with katanas Gerbera Straight and Tiger Pierce, the Oni no Tate shield/backpack and the Kata no Yoroi shoulder armor.
The body for example, consists of black, red, white and gray (though I painted the gray as silver with some reds as gold).įeatures/accessories will be based on the number and quality of gimmicks, equipment and extras included in the kit. The color separation of this kit is awesome! I was used to HG kits where color separation is achieved through stickers, on this MG kit, it is achieved through the different colored parts. There is a fair amount of decals on this kit, from head to feet, and also on the katanas, the shield and on the Kata Yoroi shoulder armor arms, which contribute to the “real scale” look. I have seen a completed HG Sengoku Astray Gundam, and side by side with the MG, I can say that the figure detail of the MG is better. As an MG, builders should also expect a higher number of panel lines, which though tedious, gives an over-all better look than an HG. The MG Sengoku Astray Gundam kit has a bunch of decals, unlike HGs.
