Kit Review
Straight build
You can detach the middle section of the Photon Blaster and mount it on the rear skirt.
The fit is so bad it falls off at the slightest breeze. -_-

This kit is the A.I.S Exord from the game Phantasy Star Online 2 — a variation kit based on the previously released A.I.S., featuring changed molded colors and a few additional accessories.
First off, the molded colors have been changed to darker shades, and separately molded erosion cores have been added to both legs and the back. On top of that, the Photon Blaster that was mounted under the Solid Vulcan has been swapped out for a creepy organic-style part, and as a bonus, a small Dagan is included in soft plastic. All these extra parts pushed the price up by ¥300 — which honestly doesn't feel like much of an increase in relative terms. (The original kit was already way too pricey at ¥5,500 T_T)
Among the new additions, you can detach the middle section of the new Photon Blaster and mount it on the rear skirt — but the fit is so poor it's really not easy to do. It's like trying to balance a ping-pong ball on your fingertip; you can just barely get it to stay, and it makes you wonder why they even bothered adding the mounting feature if this is the best they could do.
Since the base body is identical to the original A.I.S., it delivers the same solid build experience and decent overall look. But the still-brutal value for money (¥5,800) remains the kit's biggest letdown. It's noticeably smaller than a typical 1/144 Gunpla, yet priced up there with a high-end MG — so yeah, unless you're a pretty serious fan of this game, it's a tough kit to open your wallet for. :-)
