The figures are the same too~

Since the base body is identical, the articulation is the same as well..

Together with the previous standard Compatible Kaiser.
The base body structure is the same, but the yellow parts now have a gold coating, and the head design has changed.

Hot on the heels of the Compatible Kaiser, the G Compatible Kaiser was released right away. The base body is identical to the original Compatible Kaiser, but the yellow parts now feature a semi-gloss gold coating, and the head design has been changed. On top of that, the big addition is the G Thunder Gate combined onto the back as a flight unit. With all those extra parts added in, the price went up by ¥2000.

The original Compatible Kaiser was already a kit that really stood out with its flashy color combination, and now with the gold coating, the elaborate new head, and the large flight unit added on, it's become an even more extravagant kit. The gold-plated parts in particular have an Extra Finish-style look to them, and they even feature undergating, showing quality that's right up there with Bandai.

That said, the base body's joint strength wasn't exactly what I'd call rock-solid to begin with, and now with that big backpack hanging off it.. it's become a pretty tricky kit to get standing upright. The foot design doesn't give great ground contact either, so if you don't nail the center of gravity, it'll topple backwards pretty easily.. You really have to lean the upper body slightly forward and carefully dial in the knee angle just right to get it to stand. For someone like me who mainly displays kits in a standing pose, this kind of kit is honestly a bit of a headache -.-;

The G Thunder Gate on the backpack can transform between its flight unit mode (combined with the G Compatible Kaiser) and its independent flight mode — it's a detach-and-reattach system where you separate and reassemble the parts. It's a bit of a hassle, but thanks to that approach, the proportions and stability after transformation are actually pretty decent. The part that plugs into the back, though.. feels like the connection is a little on the weak side. When you're posing the base body, it tends to get in the way and pop off fairly easily.

To sum it all up — the visual flashiness has been cranked up even further, but with so many things hanging off it, the durability and joint strength feel a bit more worrying than before. Then again, with Kotobukiya and Super Robot Wars kits, the straight build wow-factor is really the main attraction.. and in that sense, this might just be the ultimate Super Robot Wars kit. :-)
