The face can be swapped between 3 different expressions, though 2 of them look so similar it's hard to tell them apart.

A total of 8 hands are included, with a pistol-integrated hand among them.

3 different police badge accessories are included.

The inner rear skirt parts can be swapped out for stand attachment parts.

A rod is also included so you can push the inner forearm parts in deeper.

Along with Deckerd, the Max Cannon for J-Decker is included.

Since the front skirt is attached to the front of the thigh, you can raise the leg up to 90 degrees to the side and front without the skirt getting in the way.

Together with the previously released J-Decker.

Following J-Decker, Deckerd & Max Cannon has been released as a Kotobukiya plastic model. Since Deckerd combines with J-Roader to form J-Decker in the story, Deckerd is much smaller and more compact than J-Decker. The Max Cannon for J-Decker is also bundled in with this release.

The body itself is small, but the joint design is well thought out, delivering excellent articulation and solid joint strength. An elbow/hip extension gimmick is also included, and since the front skirt is attached to the front of the thigh rather than the hip, it doesn't interfere with the hip's range of motion at all. Thanks to that, you can pull off a natural kneeling pose as well as all kinds of dynamic action poses.

For accessories, 3 police badges are included, and you can strike a shooting pose using the hand sculpted together with the pistol — one of the 8 hands provided. The face can also be swapped between 3 expressions, though 2 of them are so subtly different they're nearly indistinguishable. The bundled Max Cannon is nice and large with good color separation, and by securing the joint parts into J-Decker's side skirt, you can hold poses nice and firmly.

The ¥6,800 price tag is still a bit steep for what you get, but this is a high-quality kit with a smooth build experience and clean molded colors. A lot of people might be wondering why the Max Cannon comes with Deckerd instead of J-Decker — well, that's just Kotobukiya's call I guess... (;;;) Either way, if you have fond memories of the show, just having these kits released at all is something to be grateful for. :-)
