The DHV Magellan — a flying vehicle from the game Death Stranding 2 — has been released as a 1/350 scale Kotobukiya plastic model. It's a quintessential futuristic flying mech, with its two large rear containers being the standout feature, and the overall surface detail is impressively fine.

Since this kit is fundamentally more about detail than gimmicks, there aren't a whole lot of moving parts. The rear containers can be positioned at various angles, and the laser gun and crane that optionally mount on top have a decent range of movement. The small weapons on either side of the top can also be swapped between a gatling gun or missiles. A dedicated display stand with the name printed on it is included as well, and you can swap out the bottom panel to place the model on it.

So with this review, the main thing to focus on is really the design and the detail work. Overall the build quality is solid, and it seems like a kit that's well worth recommending to anyone who's into futuristic mech designs. :-)
