Despite fierce competition by the Chinese counterpart Joytoy for 1/24 Scale Mecha Toy Market, Kotobukiya is releasing another good Hexagear product which make good use of the V-Thors frame this time instead of some palette swap. Making use of the popular V-Thors mold, Hexagear is getting a really badass samurai mecha dubbed 凱風快晴/Gaifu Kaisei which literally means Victorious Wind and Clear Sky under the possible sub lineup named Bui Tohru. Scheduled for August 2024 release, 1/24 Gaifu Kaisei will be sold for 8800 Yen which slightly more expensive than V-Thors given the extra parts.
Gaifu Kaisei comes with a pair of Heat Blades as its armaments which make it automatically resemble with Mr Bushido's Ahead from Gundam 00. However the Jumonji Spear weapon as shown by Kotobukiya's sample Photo is definitely the weapon to go for Gaifu Kaisei for the best Samurai Mecha Vibe. The Spear weapon is defintely the dealbreaker for me to get interested with this particular Hexagear though I can't pinpoint the exact Modelling Support Goods for this one which might be MSG 31 Oni Juji, I probably will settle with MSG Gun Blade Lance or even the Spear weapons from Musha Gundam if I cant find the exact copy because this guy need a spear for the best samurai Vibe. I will look forward to Kotobukiya if they could expand their Hexagear with more Samurai themed unit given the potential showcased by this Gaifu Kaisei.
