Composite ver Ka. MSK-008R Dijeh Amuro Custom Part 2 Review

Continuing my review of the P-Bandai Robot Damashii Dijeh Amuro Custom, here’s the second part! Compared to other hobby product reviews I’ve done over the past few years, Dijeh receives a somewhat special treatment that actually warrants a two-part review and it has a lot to do with its connection to FA Hyaku Shiki.

Perhaps not many will notice, apart from avid readers of Realm of Darkness. But I’m a huge Hyaku Shiki fan, especially its Full Armor variants! While some of that admiration comes from its Five Star Stories roots, it mostly stems from the unfulfilled potential of Char Aznable as Lt. Quattro in the Universal Century timeline.

The Full Armor Hyaku Shiki represents the “Lawful Good” future of Char Aznable, an idea often explored in series like Super Robot Wars. This particular depiction left a deep impression on me during my younger years. So, the very least I could do is pay some homage, and a dedicated tag-team action with Amuro Dijeh felt like another perfect tribute.

While Amuro’s Dijeh might feel somewhat overshadowed in this context, this review treats both mecha with equal importance. Because it’s Amuro’s equal standing with Char that makes him the perfect foil.

This isn’t the sort of review I usually write, so I hope you enjoy this more personal, reflective take.
