The articulation on this kit is a bit of a mixed bag —
The arms are pretty average, but the knees barely bend at all.
As you can see in the photos above, the side skirts are fixed connecting the thighs and shins together,
so the knees are essentially locked in place.

The base body is similar, but the size difference is massive..

The Reginlaze Julia, which appears in episode 40 of Iron-Blooded Orphans, has been released as an HG kit. True to its spec height of 30 meters, this 1/144 scale kit is absolutely massive. It uses the same basic frame as the Reginlaze, but the legs (the feet, more precisely) have been extended enormously.

Because the lower body is abnormally elongated like this, the kit comes with a simple stand plus extra parts to extend the stand's height. The finished look is way bigger than you'd expect from a ¥1,400 HG kit, so if you're a fan of large, imposing kits, this one will definitely satisfy.

The elongated legs can be separated at the mid-section and swapped out for regular feet — you get two options: flat feet for ground contact and folded feet for airborne poses. In the long-leg configuration, the side skirts lock both the thighs and calves simultaneously, which means the knees barely move at all. That said, the kit is so large and striking that you can still pull off plenty of dynamic poses even without bending the legs.

On the forearms is a whip-style weapon called the Julian Sword, which can be swapped between a sword form and an uncoiled chain form. The sword parts are made from soft plastic, so the uncoiled version can actually be bent into various curved shapes.

In terms of size and visual impact for the price, this is a top-tier kit — the looks are better than expected, and it's easy to recommend regardless of how much screen time it got in the show. Especially if you're a fan of impressive display kits, this one's a real winner. :-)
