Busou Shinki: HOWLING - MMS #004 Type-DOG

on
I have earlier reported on two BUSOU SHINKI 武装神姫 box sets which I scored during the Takashimaya 11th Craziest Toy Sale. I decide to get HOWLING MMS #004 Type-DOG out from that pristine packaging and give her a deserving photo shoot. First impression of the Busou Shinki figure is the remembrance to Revoltech. The articulation can be arguably challenge that of Revoltech, but the joint-systems are poles apart. The Busou Shinki figure adopts a combination of ball-joints, rotatable stem joints and fixed riveted joints (similar to that of G2 Saber's elbow). The figure stands at 140mm, identical to that of the newer Revoltechs (such as RV27 EVA-02). The figure can stand on its own! and I love that! The best part of Busou Shinki is the customization possibilities. Each box set comes with a basic assembly instruction guide that proves that you are better off trusting your instincts. For the regular box sets, you get a cool stand that is useful for making flight poses. The main complaint that I have is the lack poor articulation after 'transformation', probably only for Howling. The bulky limbs and armour makes the swinging angles of the arms limited. The moveable claws seem rather useless as well. The heavy head tends to fall off easily.
I have included a walkthrough gallery of the 'transformation'.
