This kit is Shinegreymon, released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. True to the Amplified lineup, it really stands out with its large size and intricate design. The excellent color separation combined with a generous amount of seals delivers a top-tier straight build visual.
First of all, as you can see, the large wings make it an incredibly bulky kit — it easily dwarfs a 1/100 MG in terms of sheer volume. Despite the large body, the joint strength is solid enough to keep it standing upright nice and firm. That said, the shoulders are a bit iffy, so maintaining a horizontal pose while holding the large Geo Grey Sword is a bit of a challenge joint-strength-wise.
The overall assembly feel is very smooth, giving you a really premium building experience. There were more seals than I expected — the seal work alone seemed to take over an hour. On the plus side, most of them are small accent seals, so they blend in pretty naturally, which is a relief. Either way, once you've dotted all those little seals around as accents, it definitely gives the finished look a more detailed and flashy appearance.
The signature weapon, the Geo Grey Sword, holds well in the hand with its dedicated handle, and you can split it into two pieces for Dual Blade mode as well. There are also separate joint parts that let you mount them on the sides of the legs. On top of that, the wings — which look like six blades gathered together — can be spread and folded freely, and thanks to their solid hold, they stay in whatever position you put them in.
All in all, this is a top-tier character model kit that delivers impressive size, a stunning visual, and a premium build experience. If you're a Digimon fan, don't even hesitate — just grab it. And even if you don't know Digimon, if the design speaks to you, this is definitely a kit worth recommending. :-)
