Contents exclusive to the Gear Unit Ver.Ganesa, excluding Sitara Kaneshiya.
These contents are also available separately (¥10,800).
Ganesa Unit
The Ganesa Unit is broadly made up of three forms — the Top Gear, the Bottoms Gear, and the Bottoms Gear (back section) — with one pair of each.
The Top Gear, which attaches to the upper section
Articulation of the upper and lower ducts
The Top Gear's power arm can be deployed in multiple stages.
The four claws at the tips can also be folded at the middle section.
The Top Gear's power arm can be deployed in various directions and ways.
The Bottoms Gear (back section), which represents the elephant's hind legs
There's a joint in the middle section that allows it to fold.
Opening the inner cover
Both wings can rotate around a fixed axis,
but there's no gimmick for moving them up or down.
The tip claws do have an articulation gimmick, but the range of motion is pretty limited.
The Bottoms Gear, which represents the elephant's front legs
The tip claws here also have an articulation gimmick, but the range of motion is pretty limited.
There's a movable joint at the section corresponding to the knee.
The sole sections of the Bottoms Gears
Silver foil stickers are applied under the green rings to create a reflective sparkle effect.
A large, sturdy dedicated stand is included.
The support arms slot into scale-shaped holes to lock in place,
and the angle can be adjusted in various ways depending on the position.
Four sub-arms that secure the Top Gear and Bottoms Gear (back section).
They can be positioned at various angles, and the hold is sturdier than you'd expect.
A standard peg part is also included so you can mount regular plastic model kits on it.
Weapons and accessories exclusive to the Ver.Ganesa
The new Cross Gear, which measures up to 30cm in length
Silver foil stickers are applied inside the clear green blade parts to create a reflective sparkle effect.
Silver foil stickers are also applied inside both sides of the new Short Gear.
The articulation gimmick on the bottom of the Short Gear
The effect parts from the original Sitara Kaneshiya are also included (one set), and can be used with the Short Gear.
Two new fan designs have been added.
The SP Gear with a bit more volume to it
A small, cute Sitara-chan figure is also included.
The extra hand set added in the Ver.Ganesa features separately articulated wrists,
and since weapons plug into the round hole in the palm, there are absolutely no grip issues.
The Gear Unit Ver.Ganesa includes newly sculpted parts for Sitara Kaneshiya.
Some are included due to runner removals and relocations,
but the feet and shoulder parts have been genuinely redesigned with new sculpts.
Comparison with the inner body of the existing Sitara Kaneshiya Ver.Kalbachot.
They look almost identical at a glance, but the face, shoulders, and feet have been changed.
Comparison of the face parts.
All three expressions have been subtly changed.
The newly sculpted shoulders on the Ver.Ganesa are slightly smaller and narrower (right side).
You really have to look closely to spot the difference, but the shoulder articulation range has increased a little.
On top of that, the front/back connection structure of the shoulders has also been changed.
In the manual image above, E part No.10 on the left is the Ver.Kalbachot shoulder part, and K1 part No.4 on the right is the Ver.Ganesa shoulder part.
As you can see, it's been changed from an L-shaped peg to a two-pin design, which does improve the snap-fit connection —
though the manual actually instructs you to glue it.
To be fair, most Kotobukiya girlpla shoulders use the old left-side structure, and they did tend to pop off easily due to weak connection strength.
The joint connecting the shoulder to the body has also been changed.
Unlike before, where the ball joint was centered in the ring, it's now been shifted downward.
The feet have been changed to a narrower, sharper shape (right side).
Leftover parts
Some of the leftover parts are meant to replace the existing ABS parts or polycaps
when painting.
