Parts packed in bags with descriptions written in multiple languages.
It feels very much like those toy bags you get with a kids' meal at Lotteria..;
Once you open it up, this is roughly what the parts look like.
They're packaged without runners — just the parts themselves.
It consists of two hanger panels.
First, the launch pad stand section.
All the exterior surfaces come with a nice gradient paint job as standard.
Up close, the surface isn't smooth — it's a bit rough.
Depending on how you look at it, it can seem cheap, or it can feel surprisingly realistic.
The bottom... yeah, no paint there.
Accessories that attach to the launch pad. The detail and paint work are really excellent.
Foot rest base
Since it's a launch pad-style stand, the foot rest parts slide.
There's no special gimmick — they just sit in the grooves.
The hanger section. Both detail and paint are excellent.
The piston at the back that supports the hanger is articulated, allowing you to stand the hanger upright.
The hanger raised all the way up
Hmm.. that looks pretty convincing!
The underside. You can tell it's a 2006 Bandai China factory product.
The stands attach side by side with a fixing part inserted in the middle.
Put together properly, it looks roughly like this!
Together with the 1/144 HGUC First.
The hanger being raised
Stand up! The size fits perfectly.
If you move just the base plate separately, you can stand it up like this.
A few action poses
Standing on the launch pad.
The blast deflector behind the launch pad works nicely as a seat.
Launch! Fits perfectly on the HGUC First's feet.
The HG Exia placed on it. The feet sort of fit, more or less.
But.. the HGUC Nu Gundam's feet don't fit at all;
Part of it is because the Nu Gundam is big, but it seems like basically nothing other than the First really fits...
Just for fun I tried placing the SRW Arblade Custom on it.. and yeah, the feet don't fit either.
The SRW Biltverg High Mobility Type placed on the hanger.
Either way, pretty much anything other than the First just doesn't look right;
An unavoidable comparison.. compared to the Kotobukiya Mechanical Base.
The detail level is similar, but the difference between a pre-painted product and an unpainted one is pretty significant.
