New Plastic Model] Fafner Marknicht from "Fafner of the Azure Sky" appears on MODEROID! I tried to assemble the deformed anti-hero! Examples & Reviews

Since the first season of the popular science fiction robot anime series "Soukyu no Fafner" began airing in 2004, the story has continued to be spun in various forms, including TV anime, OVA and theater versions.

Following the "Fafner Markzine," which is the main character in the series, another main character "Fafner Marknicht" has been released by Good Smile Company's plastic kit brand "MODEROID.

The "Fafner Marknicht" has a very unique shape and limb structure, and is also very voluptuous!

Marknicht had an overwhelming presence as a strong enemy in the first season of the anime and the movie "Heaven and Earth," but since the second season of the anime, "EXODUS," it has been active as Soji Minashiro's passenger machine. Soji gave him the nickname "the son of emptiness," and he successfully became one of the two main characters of the series. Mark Nicht is a robot filled with anti-hero-like coolness and is very popular among fans.

Now, he has been made into a plastic kit to the delight of fans, and Akiba Research Institute will be reviewing the MODEROID "Fafner Marknicht" as well!

First, let's take a look at the box.

The figure's arms and rear unit are disproportionately huge for its sleek torso and legs. The box art gives the image of a floating figure with the setting sun in the background. Although "Fafner of the Blue Sky" has a strong image of blue skies, this kind of sky with the setting sun is also very suitable.

The back of the box art is like this. The line by Soji is used as a catchphrase.

The sides are very thick. This shows how large the volume of this kit is.

Let's take a look at the actual contents!

There are a lot of parts!

And since there are not a few large parts, you will be overwhelmed by the power of the runner.

Here is the key point!

The runner is a clear green color, but some parts are painted silver from the back, which reflects the light and makes the color shimmering.

Also, this kit does not include any stickers. The fact that it is completely color-coded using only the molded colors makes the completion of the kit a pleasure to look forward to.

Let's start assembling the kit!

Completion!
It will take about 3 to 4 hours to assemble.

The arms are huge compared to the thin torso and legs, giving the figure an unusual appearance.

This is how it looks from the rear. The back unit protruding to the left and right is conspicuous.

The base of the eight anchor units are ball-jointed, so they can be moved freely.

From this angle, you can clearly see the volume of the mark nicht.

Basically, both arms and legs are a combination of axial movable units.

For example, the legs look like this.

There are several movable parts, allowing for more complex movements than it looks.

A close-up of the upper body.

It's just so sharp!

The edges of each part are very sharp, further emphasizing Mark Nicht's coolness.

That said, there are a great many small parts, so be careful not to lose them by accidentally dropping them on the floor or sending parts flying.

There is a hole on the back to connect to THE simple stand.

This kit is not easy to display standing up, because the volume of the arms and the back unit are not as strong as that of the legs and feet.

Therefore, it would be better to obtain a stand at the same time.

The stabilizer can be replaced with a light-emitting one.

The homing laser oscillator can also be deployed.

By pulling it up, you can recreate the laser firing state.

In addition to the fist, a weapon handle and 5 movable hand parts are included.

This is the weapon handle.

This is the hand part with movable fingers.

The figure looks even more monstrous when the hand is held in an open position.

The movable hand parts can be moved flexibly.

The hand parts can be moved flexibly and can be used for a variety of expressions. Try it out in various ways.

Let's take a look at the weapons.

The Luger lance can be opened or closed.

This is the normal form.

This is the shooting form. Effect parts are also included.

The Luger Lance is also quite long, so it is very powerful.

The wrist is connected with a ball joint, so you can pose the lance in various ways, such as pointing it forward or holding it in your hand.

Worm rings can be attached to the movable finger hand parts.

Simply remove some of the wrist parts and insert the pin.

Both arms can be extended to the left and right, allowing poses like this to be taken.

The assimilating cable that connects to the anchor unit is represented by a lead wire.

Connect the assimilation cable to the rear unit like this.

As you would expect, a stand is essential when the anchor unit is to be floated. After all, THE simple stand is a necessity.

Finally, 2SHOT with MODEROID "Fafner Markzain"!

MarkZain was designed to help as many soldiers as possible survive, while MarkNicht was designed to defeat as many enemies as possible. Although based on the same design data, the two were created with contrasting philosophies, and are truly a yin-yang relationship.

The Marknicht is full of anti-hero-like coolness.

When you put them side by side, you will notice that they share many parts in common.

I would like to display them side by side!

So, that was my review of the MODEROID "Fafner Marknicht.

To be honest, I am filled with gratitude for the fact that they made it into a kit! I am filled with a sense of "Thank you very much for making this kit!

However, there are some parts where the parts are very tightly aligned, and there are some areas where small parts are assembled together, so you may want to take your time and carefully assemble the kit.

We hope you will give it a try!
