Together with the Metal Garurumon from the Figure-rise Standard Amplified version.

Together with the Figure-rise Standard WarGreymon.

This kit is the Metal Garurumon released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. An Amplified version had already come out before, and this time it's the original version from Digimon Adventure. Compared to the Amplified, it has a more compact and clean-cut design.

First off, it gives off the feel of a beginner-friendly model kit — clean color separation with relatively few parts and easy assembly. It's got that smooth Bandai build and feel to it, but the leg articulation is a bit frustrating. The range of motion for bending and extending the legs is narrower than you'd expect, which limits posing options. That said, you can still pull off some fairly dynamic poses by making use of the waist, wings, and tail.

Anyway, aside from the main body there are no weapons or accessories included, so there isn't a whole lot to look at. Still, it's nice to see Metal Garurumon — one of the main characters — get a clean, standard release in normal form. :-)
