Chirico has a swappable head - you can switch from normal head to helmet with breather mechanism. This was only a real problem with the legs and the double joint system. You feel like you're going to break it, but once the stuck joint frees, it's fine. It's insanely poseable, but initially freeing up the joints can be a harrowing experience. The toy stands about 5.25" tall and is made out of a soft plastic, the same stuff as most Kaiyodo figures. The toy is secured to a plastic tray, held in place by the dreaded twist-ties. The box is a nice window box with a bookflap cover. Cuvie also comes with a set of 16 accessories including flight helmet, gun and 6 sets of extra hands! Window boxed, Cuvie is sure to gain the notice of action figure collectors and fans of the Armored Troopers Votoms anime! Cuvie features an impressive 20 points of articulation, including a special double jointed hip allowing the figure to be seated in the Scopedog's cockpit. I got it about a month after the Scopedog, and I have to say, displaying the 'Dog that first day without its pilot just didn't feel right.Ī companion piece to the amazing 1/12 scale Scopedog, the Chirico Cuvie action figure is a must have all on its own. I eventually came to the conclusion that I'd feel like I "missed out" if I had the Scopedog without Chirico, so I went ahead and ordered it. I mean, it is the robots I'm interested in right? True, but the months of pictures before both products came out gave me plenty of time to mull over this conundrum. At first I thought I could easily pass on the pilot and just buy the Scopedog. Here's the answer Yamato blurred the lines with its Chirico figure. Now you may be wondering "Why is he telling me all this when he should be writing a review of a character toy?". Now the shelves are nothing but Japanese robots, and many people have said the display looks much better. So into storage went the Star Wars, superhero, and videogame character toys. I wanted my collection to look good as a display, and not a random smattering of different genres. I made a conscious effort about 18 months ago to pack away certain types of toys. I'll first tell you that I love the old Takara Votoms mech toys, and the part of my collection that is displayed consists of mainly Japanese robot toys. The Microman Chirico Cuvie in pilot suit comes with five pairs of optional hands and a display base.I'd first like to thank Yamato for making what turned out to be a really pleasant surprise that I never knew I wanted. Spare fingers (on runners you'll need to attach them to the hands) are included to hold the weapons. This "Lido War Specification" Scopedog is equipped with a Round Mover backpack attachment, a heavy machine gun, and a short barrel gun attachment. Its cockpit can be opened to reveal the detailed interior with room to seat the Chirico Cuvie figure, its turret lens can turn and slides left to right, and it can be posed in "down form." Other features include an extendable arm punch, and working turn picks and gliding wheels. This sharp entry in Takara Tomy's Dual Model Zwei series pairs a 1/18-scale Scopedog (Lido War Specification) with an in-scale Microman Chirico Cuvie action figure in pilot suit! The Scopedog is sharply detailed, realistically shaded, and great fun to play with, thanks to its abundantly articulated joints and cool gimmicks. This is a posable action figure of a character from science-fiction/anime.
