Leftover parts

Together with the similarly-conceived Gigantic Arms Powered Guardian.

After a long while, a large Gigantic Arms kit has been released — Lucifer's Wing. Not only is it physically huge, but the parts count and sheer amount of work involved puts it in the realm of a monster kit that goes beyond even a PG. Opening that big box, you're greeted by 62 runners, and it's enough to send a chill down your spine. The manual is a whopping 46 pages — the thickest ever — and the price is up there too, coming close to 10,000 yen.

Concept-wise it's similar to its predecessor, the Powered Guardian — it's essentially a combined set of a bird-shaped Harpy form and a horse-shaped Unicorn form. You can't help but get the feeling that these were originally planned as two separate kits that just got bundled together. Even individually, each form requires a parts count that puts previous kits to shame. With two such massive kits combined into one, the workload is nothing short of brutal.

The bird-shaped Harpy form in Beast Mode features a total of 22 individually deployable and poseable feathers, so the wings alone deliver an impressive visual impact. The styling is sleek and the joint strength is solid, giving it a really stable, quality feel. You can also open the chest cover and seat Frame Arms Girl Stylet inside.

The horse-shaped Unicorn form in Beast Mode also shows off a highly polished design and build — disassemble the head section and insert Stylet to recreate a half-human, half-beast centaur configuration. Both the Harpy and Unicorn forms can each be converted into Humanoid Mode through a disassemble-and-reassemble process, resulting in a humanoid mech with proportions as large as an MG Sazabi. Both humanoids have polycaps that are sturdy relative to their size, so the joints hold their poses well.

Finally, you can disassemble all the parts and reassemble them into a large, imposing Powered Suit form. Stylet can be seated in this configuration too, making for some spectacular collaborative action poses.

Up to this point it sounds like a kit with tons of transformation options and incredible functionality — but you have to keep in mind that the assembly grind is on a whole other level. Each individual form is fine on its own, but once everything is combined into the Powered Suit, the lower body becomes unstable and posing gets really tricky. On top of that, with so much stuff hanging off the Powered Suit, parts tend to fall off as you handle it — in short, it becomes a kit that's genuinely hard to wrangle into a pose. The transformation process is also incredibly complex, and without the manual you'd barely be able to touch it; even with it, transforming takes a serious amount of time and concentration.

In many ways, this is a monster kit that really brings the phrase "high risk, high return" to mind. The process is grueling, it's hard to handle, and transforming it is even more of a headache — but honestly, the styling and functionality feel absolutely top-tier. It's the kind of kit you'd want to recommend to someone who can say "yeah, I know my way around a model kit" — like a challenge letter from Kotobukiya to the modeler community.

Either way, I'm once again in awe of Kotobukiya for producing a monster kit like this that must have taken an insane amount of development work. It's a kit that feels distinctly different from Bandai — you can sense their own brand of craftsmanship in it. I spent two full weekend days on it, but it gives you this strange sense of satisfaction, like you've just reached the summit of a tall mountain. You might also feel like the review photos are a bit sparse given all the features this kit has — but even these are the result of six hours of shooting.. If you're curious, give it a shot. :-)
