HSGK "Teiki Magna Palace The Night of Gold

GTM (Gothic Made. The twin swing mechanism unique to the giant robot that appears in Mamoru Nagano's original "Five Star Story" (serialized in KADOKAWA's "Monthly Newtype"), as well as the "skillful technique" that makes full use of the spatial composition unique to the sculptors at Zoukei-mura, the sculpting division of Volks, beautifully reproduces a majestic appearance befitting an emperor's cavalryman. It is assumed to be a very popular item.

This is expected to be a very popular item, but since the number of resin kits that can be produced is inevitably limited, following the "Zarathustra Apterbringer" announced in 2022, it will only be sold to those who apply for the lottery and are selected.

The "Imperial Knight Magna Palace" is up for grabs.

This kit has been designed to be easy to assemble, to express your favorite painting style, and to prevent deterioration over time, while achieving a big scale and very elaborate modeling. The kit's sharply defined modeling does not detract from the three-dimensionality of the figure, and the ease of assembly has been improved by integrating each part as much as possible. Insert molding is used for the abdominal bellows parts that support the large volume head and the long buster launcher to prevent deterioration over time. Not only can they be positioned and angled, they can also be held firmly in place.

In addition, clear resin is used for exterior parts so that the translucent armor with golden and pearl laminate (white parts) can be freely painted. The entire body can be painted with plating, or the clear molding can be used to express the golden laminate translucent armor as per the settings, allowing the kit to be completed as desired by the owner.

Visor can be opened or closed selectively.

In addition, two pairs of bender wigs radiate from the top of the head, which protrudes like the spires of a fortress, to the back of the head, and the large volume head is equipped with a spaceship "passenger cell" that also serves as an escape pod, as per the setting. Depending on how the figure is assembled, it can be detached and enjoyed as a stand-alone figure.

In addition, the visor that was used to fire the buster launcher three times in the movie can be opened and closed selectively. The detailed design of the energy drain discharge cables under the armpits, the buster launcher suspension system including the traveling lock that is the fixed suspension of the buster cannon on the back, and many other features.
