It's interesting how the Landman Rodi's legs are used as boosters — and per the lore, you'll need to borrow the left arm from the HG Barbatos.

This kit is the 9th entry in the Iron-Blooded Orphans Arms series, and it's a combined set of various parts compatible with 5 different kits. It's a pretty lavish package — four system injection runners alone are included to cover all the different colors needed. And yet the price still comes in at the standard ¥600 for the series.

First off, there are two chunky legs for the HG Man Rodi — swap them in and you've got yourself a Landman Rodi. Those same legs can then be repurposed as boosters, and along with the other parts, they can also be applied to the HG Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex. The catch is that per the lore, you'll need to borrow the left arm from the HG Gundam Barbatos 1st Form, which makes for a somewhat involved setup.

On top of that, there are feet and a backpack included to build the Ground Type Graze based on the HG Graze, plus a head and front skirt to configure the Geirail Scharfrichter from the HG Geirail. "Scharfrichter," by the way, means "executioner" in German — quite the brutal name...;;;. Finally, two rifles compatible with the HG Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City are also included, which is a nice bonus.

All in all, this set packs in a wide variety of parts compatible with five different kits, making it a fun little item for anyone collecting the Iron-Blooded Orphans HG lineup. :-)
