The center of gravity shifts too far back, making it impossible to stand upright normally — a separate support stand is required.

This kit is the Governor Queen's Guard, released as part of Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear series. It's a variation kit of the Governor Ignite Spartanreleased just before it — the main body features a molded color change along with a revised head sculpt, and all of the original weapons have been replaced with new ones.

As a result, all the articulation characteristics of the main body are identical to the Governor Ignite Spartan, and it still delivers solid articulation and joint strength. The new weapons include the large Criminal Buster (large launcher), Jack Blade, and Beyond (shield), and the Criminal Buster can be folded 180 degrees like a lance for a stored configuration.

On top of that, a dedicated hand set for the Jack Blade and one additional support accessory for the Criminal Buster have been added. The large Criminal Buster connects well with the sub-arm, so you can get decent poses even without the stand. The kit carries over the concept of the Governor Ignite Spartan while giving it a fresh feel through the molded color change and new weapons. Thanks to the well-designed body that handles posing without much trouble even with the large weapon, you can strike some pretty dynamic poses without too much hassle.

If you're a fan of Hexa Gear and love big weapons, this is definitely a kit worth picking up — and it'd look even better built alongside the Governor Ignite Spartan. :-)
