The long launcher is so long that it's hard to make out the details in a full shot.

You can also add the shield to the bottom, but then it can't be placed on the stand, which makes displaying it a bit awkward.

The Bullet Knight Launcher has been released as a new concept for the Megami Device lineup. Megami Device kits tend to come out in pairs around a specific concept, and this time around it looks like the theme is oversized weaponry. The star of this kit is the massive long launcher that measures over 40cm.

Aside from the weapons, the main body is essentially the same as existing Megami Device kits — just with a new design. It's a standard girlpla that features an inner body mode with the armor removed, along with decent articulation and joint strength. That said, the shoulders still pop off easily during posing — a time-honored tradition — and while a newly redesigned angular stand is included, the weapons are just too big to use it for action poses, so it's really only practical for standing display.

What sets this kit apart are the two thick wire parts on the head, which have a metal core inside so you can bend them freely, and they hold their shape really well. Maybe because the wires are so thick, they provide plenty of support even when the side skirts are plugged in and used as weapons.

The big long launcher and large shield are the other highlights here. The weapons are large and heavy, but using the sub-arms on the back, the hold feels surprisingly solid. Even so, the long launcher is so big that posing it can be a bit tricky in its own way. You can also combine various parts onto the long launcher to create a Ride Mode, and honestly, having the figure seated on it might give you the most stable pose of all.

Either way, this is a kit with a very distinct personality, so it'll probably be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of thing. The long launcher does take up a lot of display space, but overall the build quality is more than good enough to recommend. :-)
