Kotobukiya Megalomaria

Valiant

Kit Review

Straight build

This kit is a Valiant released as part of Kotobukiya's Megalomaria series. Megalomaria PrincipalIt's a female mecha variation based on the Principal, this time themed around a police concept.

The added parts include a police uniform top, a hat, a new head, and police-themed accessories. The skirt portion of the uniform is designed to open up section by section, so it barely gets in the way of the original Principal's articulation. Thanks to that, it still boasts incredible poseability. The upper body does get a large weapon added to it, but the joint strength holds up just fine under the load.

The main police accessories include two handcuff-style blades and two wrist zails (wrist restraints). The handcuff-style blades can be deployed, and they can each be linked together using the included metal optional chain. The handcuff-style blades can also be mounted on the back using joint parts. On top of that, a gun and a police baton are included, and both can be holstered on the skirt or thigh using joint parts.

There are also several special options for the face. You can choose between the bare naked face or the normal mask with a white visor. Both faces have separately assembled eyeball parts, and you can use the included cross driver to change the eye direction from the back of the head. For the naked face, there's even a part that looks just like a real human eyeball, which gives it a slightly unsettling vibe. As a bonus, you can also swap the incom mounted on the left side of the head for a folded version.

True to the police concept, this kit comes with a great variety of equipment and a costume that ties it all together nicely. It still has all the articulation you'd expect from a top-tier action figure model kit, so if this kind of concept appeals to you, it's a well-rounded kit that I'd definitely recommend. :-)
