Everyone, are you familiar with the ”Pladera NEO Cosmo Gavarion GC-R” yet? This is a new series of mini assembly plastic kits from ”Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity.” Although this first kit in the series looks compact at first glance, the gimmicks and ingenuity packed inside are amazing. It’s not just a figure, and it’s not just a plastic model; its appeal lies in a design that captures the best of both worlds. Furthermore, since it comes partially pre-painted, even assembly beginners can feel at ease. The finished form has a powerful presence that you wouldn’t expect from its mini size.

The greatest appeal of this kit is, without a doubt, its ”transformation.” You can change it into three modes: Gavarion Trigger, Spaceship, and Robot. Transformation elements that were not present in general Pladera models have been firmly incorporated into this NEO series. Despite having these many gimmicks, the assembly is surprisingly simple. It is designed to be enjoyed by anyone. This is truly the ”next-generation Pladera.” Another key point is the size; at approximately 155mm tall in robot mode, it’s the perfect scale for displaying.

The visual impact is also not to be missed. The sturdy physique not only provides a sense of stability but also carries a hint of nostalgia. Setting itself apart from the stylish Mini-pla models that are mainstream these days, it features a faithful reproduction of the robot's image as seen in the show. The painting around the face in particular is finely detailed, resulting in a finish where you can tell at a glance, ”This is Gavan.” The color coding with silver on the thighs and the molded colors around the knees is superb, and the difference in textures between parts creates a sense of three-dimensionality.

While the ”Pladera NEO Cosmo Gavarion GC-R” is plenty of fun to play with on its own, it is designed so that the range of play expands even further through coordination with future releases in the same series. This is a very welcome point for collectors. As the series grows, there's a sense of being able to create your own ”unique space squad,” which also stimulates the desire to collect. It’s an item that sparks the imagination, as if a story could be born from each individual unit.
