The center of gravity shifts toward the back, so you'll need to angle the legs backward to get it standing upright.

This kit is the HG Dragonar-2 Plus Lifter-2 equipment type, released as a Premium Bandai online exclusive. HG Dragonar-1 Plus Lifter-1and HG Dragonar-3 Plus Lifter-3 Following those two, Dragonar-2 has finally made it out as well. The release order was a bit out of sequence, but with this, all three units — 1, 2, and 3 — have now been released with their respective Plus Lifters.

The basic frame parts are shared with units 1 and 3, so the overall articulation characteristics are the same. It's come out as an A-grade HG kit that still delivers excellent articulation, solid joint strength, and a smooth build experience. Armaments include the 88mm Hand Rail Gun LPS7 type and a scout-type assault knife. As an optional gimmick, you can swap out the main wings for twin auto-cannons.

That said, the Plus Lifter on this one is larger and heavier compared to units 1 and 3, so the center of gravity does shift noticeably toward the back. Angling the legs back slightly takes care of the stability issue, and overall the joints hold well — so even with those big wings, you can get a nice, stable display out of it.

All in all, this is a solid HG Dragonar kit with stable, clean quality, and the real significance here is that the full set of units 1 through 3 is finally complete. It's a must-have for Dragonar fans, and honestly even if you just dig the look, this is a great kit I'd highly recommend. :-)
