Size comparison with the universal standard — a cigarette pack.
At this scale, it's absolutely massive.

Cockpit hatch opening — as you'd expect from a 1/60.

The clear parts on the head are pretty unique. They're a type of fluorescent part, but...

Here it is plugged into the head.
Photos don't really do it justice — in person, it looks like it's glowing on its own.

The thing about fluorescent plastic is that no matter which direction the light comes from,
the whole thing lights up.

You can also pop off the nub on the back of the head to let light in from the top.
So what happens when you do that??

You get this neat effect that looks just like an LED is lit up.
Maybe that's why the eyes always look like they're glowing under a light.
A pretty unique idea, for sure.

Because of this fake LED gimmick (?), there are two eye stickers included.
One black sticker that lets the fluorescent eye piece show through, and another that just covers it up in plain green —
how thoughtful to include both~

The light blue areas unique to the Impulse are done in a semi-transparent material.
The skirt (far left) looks like it was intentionally designed so you can see the inner frame through it.

The second unique touch on the 1/60 Force Impulse is... a partial inner frame.

You even get those outer armor removal shots like it's an MG or PG~

Pseudo inner frame shot

The torso skeleton structure looks like it's trying to imitate a PG... the detail level is roughly on par with an MG torso frame.

There are even cylinders in the armpit area that you'll never see once it's assembled. (Not that they actually move, of course.)

Frame mold inside the shoulder. The mold itself is pretty impressive.

There's also some frame molding on the inside of the front foot, though it's a bit rough.

Because of the white frame structure on the front foot, the sole ends up with a unique layered-armor look.

As befitting a 1/60, the rifle and beam saber have pegs that lock the weapons into the palm.
And as befitting a 1/60, the fingers have double joints.

The shield sections are all done as sliding mechanisms rather than clip-on attachments! (Well, at this scale, what else would you expect..)

The side skirts store Armor Schneiders, just like the Strike.

The Armor Schneiders are properly done as folding blades.
Color separation too. ^^

The top of the rear skirt still lacks color separation, so I painted it red.

One of the biggest gripes with the 1/60 Force Impulse...
Even at this large scale, the Core Splendor's color separation is lacking.
Aside from the cockpit canopy that opens, it's basically the same as the 1/100.
I did some partial painting, but the blue areas still look pretty out of place;;

The molding on the inside of the skirt is quite nice, so I went ahead and did some thorough panel lining...

The separated transformation forms.

The body splits into three parts, as usual...

The shoulders extend out in two stages for the Chest Flyer transformation, same as the other scales.

The Chest Flyer in its usual awkward pose

Looks even more pitiful from the back;;

Because of the large 1/60 scale, there are pegs to pull the arms out, rotate them, and lock them in place.
So the Chest Flyer mode holds together much better than on the 1/100 Force Impulse.
(The 1/100 was way too loose and wouldn't stay put..)

Core Splendor. Partial painting is a must.

Folded into core block form

Leg Flyer. No difference from other scales whatsoever.

Still, that oddly unique 1/60 sole color sticks out a bit.

The massive Force Silhouette.. it's nearly 30cm wide, which makes displaying it a real pain;;
They should've made the wings fold up or something.

The upper wing section of the Force Silhouette is articulated.

On the back of the Core Splendor there's a socket for attaching the Force Silhouette,
which can be hidden away by rotating it closed. (Same mechanism as the 1/100)

But wait.. hold on..
The Silhouette Flyer that was included in both the 1/144 HG and the 1/100 is NOT included here OTL
So you can't recreate the Force Silhouette's flight mode.
They included it in every other scale but left it out of the most premium 1/60 big scale kit — what on earth were they thinking???

Articulation is.. pretty average with nothing much improved.

Action pose. The sheer size helps pull off some decent poses.

The rifle can of course be mounted on the rear skirt.

Beam saber action pose (go too wide with the pose and it won't fit in the camera frame;;)

Armor Schneider action

The bulk alone is just killer at 1/60 scale..

Group shot with the 1/144 HG and 1/100 Force Impulse.
After touching up the colors to match the official color scheme on all of them, they all end up looking pretty much the same -.-;

Body comparison with the 1/60 RD Strike. The Impulse is a bit slimmer and taller.
The Impulse's joints are stiffer and more solid, giving it a sturdier feel.

Both with their wing packs on.. the volume is just incredible.
