from the sample images they only showed single katana for armament but it seems they also give you wakizashi (smaller sidearm blade ) with samurai as well.
coming out on 10/24 on japan
it's from one of articles for jp blogs.
At the beginning Fortuna asks,
"what do you think of bugs?"
and options come out,
"I'm okay with bugs"
"LOVE 'em"
"I don't wanna even look at those hedious vermins"
and if you choose the 3rd option, the results come up with shadowy blur over bug-like enemies.
nothing special but it's nice to know there's options
Meteoric Grappler. we got our 1st oriental themed kit
away from all those medical and western fantasy background.
the 3rd new faction, the Hi no Kuni are folks who lived on land far east but got their homeland in ruins when they fought Yamatano Orochi which is basically japanese hydra.
ever since then they live on their boats roaming around the seas... or that's what the setting says anyway.
now as for the kit itself, afaik despite eng name saying the class name 'grappler' in not he's called budouka aka martial artist.
as his class starts he got rather light armors resembling those of taekwondo or karate dogi, or martial artist clothes, with even little headband.
the most noticable gimmick for this kit are those huge arms that could grab anything it holds.
the big hands are made of movable finger(thumb+2 fingers) and also has extenebale are under huge gauntlet armor.
it can move around quite a lot.
one rant I have tho is despite this kit coming from new faction bandai being bandai gives usual liber/Rosan face parts which you can choose one. unfortunately there's only one scalp part included so you can only choose 1 outta 2 head parts leaving the other to be junk part.
at least you can choose how your grappler would like to be appearing...
imo this kit would be quite nice addition for kitbashing for not just 30mf but also 30ms being portrayed as power fist or sth.
the class up armor arrives Monday supposedly so I'd have to wait till then....
and I bought it immediately...
I'm really digging new gauntlet/claws they can be used in 30ms kits too probably...
so tbf being 3rd faction lore-wise due to production reasons this kit comes with 2 face parts(Liber/Rosan)

preorder starting today 1200 JST
+PS the preorder only begins IN JAPAN as of now. sorry for the confusion!
It's 2 review in 1 post since I got lazy!!
Mash from FGO in her final form and action wear beta both came up in same day and there was only one right path to proceed...
Jokes aside, Mash has pretty armor with shiny gold and silver parts on armor and shield which is pretty tall, as shown in one of photos with RG Nu Gundam as comparison.
The shield is retractable and you gotta put hella decals and maybe some panel lining to make it look proper. as for Mash herself she is not really the most articulate kit. her arms nice fine but legs have limited movement with all that skirt armor on side which cannot be moved at all. she does look divine though!
As AWβ, it's practically same as the 1st variant except colors all black and red, has x mark on its head, and minor part diff on the arms. she still loves nicely but still has that flimsy thigh peanut parts. she also has 3 diff reactive parts to choose from.
if I'm not fan of fate series I'd pass on Mash. but AW does it's money's worth considering it's bandai girlpla.
he looks bit fishy
