MG Exia Ignition Mode Review - Body

After Part 1 and 2, the third review on MG Exia Ignition Mode from Gunpla Secret Base is about its body:


Parts for the inner frame of Exia - Setsuna's pilot figure has half of his legs omitted?


Seems like there'll be two pieces of foil sticker for the chest piece - top and bottom to allow the light from the LED unit to shine through in the middle. There's another one piece version (marked with pink outline by Gunpla Secret Base) which covers the entire chest piece - for the normal mode.


Details all the way inside the container for the GN Drive. ^^


Even the small white vernier is molded as a separate part for this MG ^^


Different cockpit hatch between the Ignition Mode and the regular version.


Workable grips for the GN Drive, finally ^^


Parts for the rest of the armors. Longer and sharper secondary V-Fin on top of the chest is very cool ^^


Clear green parts for the interior of the chest vents. Didn't expect that at all ^^


The chest vent can move as well


"Normal" Ignition and Burst Mode.


The LED unit shines through the slit on the chest onto the text inside the clear green chest piece, creating the lighting text effect. ^^

July 23rd release, 6,825 Yen. First batch of release special price - 5,250 Yen. Normal mode - 3,990 Yen (inclusive of tax).
