Kerberos Protect Gear Chuichi Koshiramaru by Takara

Just when you thought Takara has made the best Kerberos ever, they upped the ante and raised the bar another notch, leaving Medicom far far behind. In 2006, they released their GenX Core Kerberos Protect Gear Panzer Cop Chuichi Koshiramaru and made many collectors go weak at the knees with the superb quality of their product.

The box design gives you a glimpse of the type of quality to expect. Review of this spectacular figure here and here!

From whichever angle, he's a magnificent figure

No crappy MG34 or no pathetic ammo belt here, everything's of the highest quality

The ammo belt feed is linked from the drum to the machine gun and the radio is separated from the drum - that makes more sense. All items can be detached as well.


There is also a spare barrel that you can attach to the drum and it stays secured till it's needed

Another view of the ammo drum and backpack radio. You can even make out a spare canister just below the backpack

The five dots logo on the helmet, Yutaka Izubuchi's (who created the Protect-Gear armour used in the Kerberos saga) mecha design signature.

Eat this, Medicom!! Their 2007 release, Red Spectacles Kerberos Panzer Cop was a real letdown and another crap production - another one piece moulded plastic without details. The gas mask tubes and other parts of the "armour" did not have sufficient details as they weren't etched enough - very shoddy work indeed!
