Bandai Weissritter "Super Robot Wars", Super Robot Chogokin

A gorgeous little SRC. I was not expecting how well this feminine little bot would pop and stand out on my display shelf. In pictures it looks a bit like a late model Gundam. All the modern angles and spikiness. But in hand it is a stunning piece. Bright white with metallic sapphire blue and yellow highlights. The shape and sculpt is extremely well done capturing a feminine look and feel without resorting to the usual Rocket Boob approach that is all too often used. (I think this is the only specifically female or feminine robot in the SRC line currently. Hopefully they follow up the announced Godannar with a few of that series fembots). Normally I am not a fan of modern overly and pointlessly spiky robots. But this one has a certain degree of grace and a pleasing aesthetic that I can't quite put my finger on. Never having played the game this is from I can't speak to how accurate the design is. But it looks great regardless. The figure scales well with some of the mid to larger sized SRC's and looks perfect standing beside Hades Zeorymar, Might Gain, Brave J Decker, the GGG big boys and similar. Her head stands about a head taller than Getter Robo 1. While the top fin on her flightpack makes her as tall as Genesic GaoGaiGar's flaming hair.As a figure it is a solid mid to upper end Chogokin offering. The articulation is good, but is a bit limited by the robots base design (the spikiness). One cool feature is the extending knees to increase the range of motion. It seems to have a decent amount of metal. Not a huge amount, but certainly not at the bottom of the die cast list. Metal can be found in the standard lower legs, knees, hips and shoulder joints. Accessories include the big assed rifle a Gundam type beam saber with beam effect, The robots flightpack with movable wings, the typical assortment of hands and a piece to depict when the wrist cannons on the left wrist are deployed.Normally I would list a figures cons, but really this one does not appear to honestly have any. Just a few points where fins or wings may clash with articulation. But nothing unexpected or that I would count against the figure. Yeah the head isn't that pose-able. Welcome to modern robot designs.Overall I would highly recommend this to any and all Robot Collectors. While not topping the list as a must have, it is most certainly a really really nice to have piece.

Has a good sculpt and details, but there are many thin plastic parts that are fragile, so handle with care. The one I bought had some weak ankles out of box, so I am worried about it tipping back and breaking some fins. I just display it on a stand (adapter included, Tamashiii Stage stand is sold separately). It makes a great companion piece to SRC Alteisen.

Beautiful figure. The feet are a little loose though, which makes posing a challenge.
