A Hot-headed Pilot Can Also Look Cool

A Hot-headed Pilot Can Also Look Cool

MegaHouse's 1/8th scaled character figures based on Gundam SEED HD Remaster continues with the hot-headed pilot of the Duel - Yzak Joule. But this time it was made in collaboration with Alter under Alpha X Omega - a joint project of Alter and MegaHouse.

Following G.E.M. - Athrun Zala, RAH DX G.A. NEO - Lacus Clyne and G.E.M. - Kira Yamato, this is their fourth Gundam SEED HD Remaster character albeit under a different product line. I love how Yzak Joule turns out. I'm not sure whether it's because of the additional effort by Alter but it seems to be a lot better in comparison against Athrun Zala and Kira Yamato. I just don't understand why all these four figures are posed with a streched arm. It would look as though they're singing if displayed together with those streched arms. But it's great that Yzak Joule comes with alternate non-stretched arm covering an alternate scarred face.

He may be a hot-headed bad guy in Gundam SEED, but I like how his character develops until Gundam SEED Destiny. And one of my favorite mobile suit form the series is the Duel (with the assault shroud), so it's kinda interesting to see its pilot on my display shelf. I hope they would continue with Dearka Elsman (Buster pilot) and  Nicol Amalfi (Blitz Pilot) to complete the main cast of Gundam SEED.

To be released on September 2013 for 7,665 yen, preorders are now available at Amiami, HLJHobby Search and Otacute.
