Together with the Reverse Trike from Death Stranding 2.

The Ghost Mech Coffins from the game Death Stranding 2 has been released as a 1/20 scale Kotobukiya plastic model kit. It's a truly unique character with a bizarre, alien-like appearance, and comes loaded with a rich variety of armed mech options.

Overall, the proportions, looks, and build quality all turned out nicely. That said, the articulation is more limited than it looks — the leg placement in particular is quite restricted, which makes posing a bit of a challenge. On the flip side, the generous weapon loadout and distinctive style mean that even simple poses come across as pretty dynamic. Thankfully, joint strength is solid across the board, so whatever pose you put it in, it holds well.

The large heavy machine gun included as a weapon is molded together with the hand as a single piece, so there are zero grip issues. The backpack-mounted weapons include a Chiral Particle Cannon, a close-combat arm (blade), and a missile launcher. The Chiral Particle Cannon can be swapped for a long barrel, and the magazine unit can be set on either the left or right side. The close-combat arm can be extended in multiple stages. On top of that, two shield units are included, letting you choose between an open or folded form. The humanoid arms on the chest can also be displayed in two different configurations, and there's even a gimmick where you can open the backpack cover and store weapons inside.

The transformation into quadruped form is super straightforward — just swap out the head and the rear thigh frames, then have it lie face-down. Despite how simple the process is, the resulting beast form actually looks surprisingly convincing. A mini base is even included to help it stand stably in this form, though it gets a solid enough footing without it too.

All in all, this is a plastic model kit that delivers a lot of fun through its unique style, solid build quality, and generous options. Even if you're not a big fan of the source game, if the look appeals to you, this is a fresh and original kit that's well worth a strong recommendation. :-)
