The Bald Eagle up on the stand

This is the Sky Eagle, released as part of Kotobukiya's Evoroid series. This one is themed around transforming into a bald eagle, and it uses the same Evoroid Core as the other kits in the lineup. It still delivers solid quality with excellent transformation capability and decent part retention.

For weapons, one crossbow-style weapon is included, which also doubles as the tail in bald eagle mode. The transformation process is relatively straightforward, so you can easily pull off the bald eagle form without much hassle. All in all, this kit is a great showcase of what makes the Evoroid series stand out — each entry has its own distinct personality. If the idea of an SD-style eagle transformation sounds fun to you, this is a great little kit to pick up and enjoy :-)
