The Kobu-Kai (Sumire Kanzaki Type) from Sakura Wars 2 has been released as a 1/20 HG kit. The main body is completely identical to the previously released Kijuji Sakura / Ogami Ichiro units with only the molded color being different, and the pilot figure has been swapped out for Kanzaki Sumire. On top of that, a new spear weapon has been added in place of the original weapons.

So all the characteristics are the same as the Sakura/Ichiro units — for this review, you'll mainly want to check out the new color scheme and the new weapon. The articulation is still frustratingly limited, but it's a kit with excellent sculpting and detail, and the purple molded color in particular looks almost like it has a semi-gloss coating on it — it came out looking really premium.

Anyway, the Kobu-Kai lineup is basically a string of color variants, but each color scheme is so striking that it doesn't really get old. :-)
