Knights of Sidonia Yukimori - Together with the Tsugumori released in 2012. (1/3)

Together with the Tsugumori released in 2012.

This kit is the Type 20 Morito Yukimori from the Knights of Sidonia theatrical anime. Exactly 10 years ago, back in 2012, the Type 17 Morito Tsugumoriwas released. This Yukimori likewise sports that distinctive large, pale silhouette characteristic of the original work.

First off, like the Tsugumori, it has a very tall, angular build. Joint strength is impressive for its size, so both standing upright and holding poses are solid. Articulation bends quite freely without much restriction, making dynamic posing easy, and despite being a quadruped, getting it into a standing pose isn't too difficult either.

Weapons include the Hyper Velocity Projectile Accelerator, Kabizashi, the Toa Heavy Industries Type 2 Composite Artificial Kabido in both stored and drawn states, and the Rapid-Fire Cannon — all from the original work. Of these, three weapons excluding the Kabizashi can be mounted on the back of the forearm, connected securely with two pins for a stable hold. Additionally, to mount the kit on a stand, you swap in a butt piece with a hole for the stand peg.

Overall, this is a kit that boasts solid build quality for its size and captures the feel of the source material well. The one downside is that the generally pale color scheme makes it harder to appreciate the three-dimensionality in photos. That said, for fans of Tsutomu Nihei and Knights of Sidonia, this should be a pretty welcome item. :-)
