HeavyArms Kai (from Endless waltz) MSiA - 25/11/02

Well physically this model looks incredibly imposing and very detailed. The legs, whilst having some skirt movement, don't seem to present much posing opportunity, sadly. It's all very well coloured and everything you would expect is there - opening chest panels, opening shoulder and back shoulder panels, removable backpack with movable pieces that act as boosters and can hold the gatlings. However this presents one major flaw. One of the reasons for getting these MSiA toys is that they should look very nice and yet not have the sense of fragility that a model kit has. Well HAKai really isn't very robust at all. All four shoulder panels fall off at any opportunity and as you can imagine it can get a little unbalanced at times. Which brings me to the gatlings. These annoyed me somewhat. I could cope with a slight curve to one barrel but I expected them to slot nicely onto the arms. Alas no. They require a lot of effort to get attached and when they are they are never parallel to the arm. The gatlings always come at a 20 or 30 degree angle inward toward the body. Overall a very imposing looking model but not up to the standard it should be.
