Kotobukiya Frame Arms

Type 34 Model 1B Jin-Rai with Assault Unit

Kit Review

Straight build

The 52nd Frame Arms kit, Jin-Rai (Shinrai) with Assault Unit, has been released. It takes the original Jin-Rai and swaps the molded color to a gray tone, adds the Extend Booster, and replaces some of the weapons. The body itself is completely identical to the original Jin-Rai, so it carries over the same improved joint strength that made the original so solid.

The equipment added for the Assault Unit version is the Propellant Tank <Kaku> from the separately sold MSG Mecha Supply No. 3, referred to here as the Extend Booster. The Booster's length can be adjusted by swapping out the middle connector parts, and it can also be angled up and down. New weapons have also been added in the form of an automatic pistol, revolver, and compact machine gun — corresponding to MSG Weapon Unit No. 24 Handgun Set — each with their own fun moving parts. Dedicated holders are included for each weapon, allowing them to be optionally mounted on either thigh.

In the end, this is a fairly standard variation kit — a color variant of the original combined with separately sold MSG accessories. That said, the joints are solid and the overall build quality is quite good, so if the style appeals to you, it's definitely worth picking up. :-)
