Kotobukiya Megami Device AUV Susanowo Model Kit

The Megami Device line came from Kotobukiya's Frame Arms and Frame Arms Girl. It is based on the "Beautiful Girl x Mechanic" idea.The AUV Susanowo is the successor to the Asra line with improved hip joints and the new AUV (Accel Unleashed Vanguard) arm and leg frame that offers more attachment points for parts and customization. "Susanowo" comes with numerous layers of armor that can be reconfigured into "insane mode" and "Brutal mode". The "Amamurakumo sword" can split into an Axe and a gun as well as reconfigure into a tail for Brutal Mode.As with most Megami Device models you get extra parts to display it in armored mode or body mode. There are three different pre painted faces to choose from and a couple of spare parts (extra pieces for another wrist joint). The whole thing requires patience and steady hands (even for changing modes). Kotobukiya is on par with Bandai in terms of offering a clean snap fit and MG levels of articulation. However, there are some fragile pieces and really pointy pieces (like HMM Zoids). You also get water transfer stickers (like MG Gundam) be sure to use a ear swab to soak up the excess water as they will slide off. Kotobukiya has a website with English instructions (link in manual on top of page 04). Kotobukiya products are not recommended for beginners (this took 6+ hours to build).
