Here’s something unexpected. A gatling gun kit from Kotobukiya.
Hoihoi-san with her new toy.
Looks like Hoihoi-san is more busier than normal.
Front view.
Yes, six glorious barrels AT YOUR FACE.
Rear view.
Nothing much to see.
Side view.
This MSG weapons’ unit is meant for the Kotobukiya Frame Arms or the 1/100 scale series of kits.
Muzzle details.
As with many MSG kits that Kotobukiya made, detailing is very sharp.
Main body detailing.
Handle grips are at easy to access places.
Side ammunition pack connection.
The ammo box can be interchange either left or right, depending on preference.
Ammunition pack.
Its a box with a swinging handle, really.
Now the pack is on the other side.
With Kotobukiya’s MSG line of kits, flexibility is THE order of business.
Height comparison with an RG Strike.
The RG line of kits are 1/144 in size. As you can see, the gun is quite big.
Yes, its very heavy.
For a small-size 1/144, the gun is a hassle to wield properly.
Now using a figma stand.
Even with a stand, the weigh really make the arms of Strike sag.
And now he’s at it.
Gatling guns make awesome things more awesome.
After a few seconds…
Looks like Mwu’s moment of awesome has worn off.
No problems at all.
*off-camera* Mwu: I don’t believed this… Defeated by a… moe-bot.
Now killing pest are more faster.
Looks like a Kotobukiya can handle another Kotobukiya kit without issues.
Oh look, it SPINS!
Yes, this gun has a special feature: it has a wind-up engine.
Engine shot rear.
So the cylindrical knob at the back is really a wind-up knob.
Engine shot front.
The engine connects to the barrels. The wind-up engine is a big surprise to me as I never expect that an add-on could have this unique feature.
Guess who’s happy.
TC-337 only manages to make the others jealous of him.
Taking the cannon concept to the extreme.
With this, I can say it’s a good add-on to have, be it for a large-sized 1/144 kits (like the Jesta and Jegan), a 1/100 or a Kotobukiya mecha kit. It’s construction is very modular giving flexibility on how to use it and it only took me 10 minutes or less in putting this together. Play value is further extended by the fact that barrels can actually SPINS.
By the way, after finishing this review, Hoihoi-san snatches back the gun.
I think i’m going to have Master get me one of these…
It looks… fun…
Not that I’m implying that riddling holes on some poor fellow is fun…
…
ok i admit, it IS fun XD
Its very fun indeed. Good for harassing targets at range.
Just use rubber rounds, they should be fine. I think… >.>
I maybe wrong…
Awesome! A Very nice add-on I’d say.. Hoihoi-san is really enjoying her new toy XD
Altho I was eyeing on the claw and the good-luck-mode fist one ^^
She is indeed. Sometimes Yoko is having fun with this also.
Oho… Those, eh?
Oh hey, I remember this! Wasn’t it featured recently by Ngee Khiong too?
Was it? I guessed I kind of missed that post. orz
is it heavy? for RG Strike to hold it ?
Bigger 1/144 like the Jegans or Dreissen can hold it with no problems. But, their hands has pegs which blocks the gatling’s handle.
Oh yeah! Jesta rockin’ that SOB LIKE A BOSS! XD
BTW, ever tried that on the other HG kits, the Reds for instance?
The Sazabi and Sinanju can hold it with no issues, but, somehow they look odd with it…
Damn! I want that!! that’s helluva gatling gun!
Go get some, it’s not that much the price.
CRY SOME MORE www
Whoever on it’s business end will. XD
I remember seeing this on Ngee Khiong, and it’s spinning feature is really making me want one.
The next awesome thing is the MSG 26 Dynamic Chainsaw, because it works too!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mns2uC5f7w
Yep, I definitely missed that one. orz
Ah, that chainsaw. I think I know a few who poisoned by that. XD
Oh damn, it’s motorized! That’s awesome.
I’ve been wondering about the MSG series of stuff from time to time, but it seems like they might be a bit big for the 1/12 and similarly-sized stuff I mostly have.
Yes, it is awesome.
Oh, don’t worry, a Revoltech Fraulein is able to hole it well. Tried it with Yoko and she’s very happy.
hahah moe bot
) i bet the next version of it will really shoot out rounds.
Round that can be shot are really troublesome. Once you missed place the shooting round… yeah.
Koto Hoihoi-san and gatling gun, an obvious deadly combination XD (I pray for the safety of all grunt units you have there) wonder which other weapons will koto make O.o? A railgun perhaps?
Deadly indeed. Don’t worry about my grunts, as her database had been updated. But not so sure with the Veigan rangers tho…
Last I heard it’s powered chainsaws.
It seems the newer MSG weapons are coming with moving gimmicks. I saw some melee weapons with spring powered stabbing action too. Your Jesta finally got some Jesta Cannon love there.
Yes, Kotobukiya are really aiming for us now. XD
This is more of a Heavy Assault Jesta Cannon. XD
Holy crap it has an engine that makes it spin, it’s is even more awesome than I thought! 337 looks kinda like war machine there.
It waaay awesome.
This, is way bigger than Warmachine’s gatling.
Never knew it had a wind up mechanism, pretty nifty.
Been having my eye on it for a while, several of the MSG weapons actually, but mostly on this baby.
I should just stop beating around the bush and buy it.
The wind-up motor was a complete surprise to me.
Yes, you should get the ones that is suitable. But, sad to say that they’re too big for figma.
Holy crap the spinning is just awesome! I can imagine the havoc Hoi Hoi san is gonna wreck with that thing. With some crazy ass duralumin and gunmetal, it’s gonna look like a mean killing machine..more than it’s already now. =O
Yes, it spins. As it was meant for a Kotobukiya kit, she didn’t need any software update in using it. XD
Painting is optional.
“She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute.”
While I own very few MSG weapons, their modular design with options to customise your weapon is pretty attractive. The gattling gun really is quite something! IIRC you can combine two into a twin gattling gun like Unicorn’s :O
The wind-up engine is a nice addition – gives you a “feel good” kind of sense. I can feel TC-337 is having that before he got his big gun removed by Hoihoi-san XD
Problem is, not all my HGUC kits can wield it properly due to their pegs inside their hands. orz
Also, the handle is also too big for them.
Two gatlings, that size. Yep, mobility issues abound.
Yeah, but he’s happy about it as it makes his movement very limited.
Oh yes my Hoi-sans… You’ll have yours soon…. muehehehehehehehehehe…
You have multiples of her. XD
i got this and i dont assemble it yet..
i dont know it got such a good gimmick XD
Well, now you know. =)
LoL, Hoihoi-San looks more man enough for being able to handle that gatling gun
She’s pretty gutsy. =)
Hoihoi-san’s face is pretty scarry….
you do NOT want to mess with a moe with gattling gun, EVER! not to mention the gun itself was awesome! XD looks great with strike! 
Moebot + gattling = pretty messy end results. XD
