Kotobukiya – Megalomaria Unlimited Universe – Principal Kotobukiya

Megalomaria Unlimited Universe is a new series that utilizes a “marionette-style” body that focuses on articulation and poseability through a humanoid model that is not quite “human.”

The first release in this lineup is Principal, a NON scale model that stands at 160mm tall with the majority of the parts being made in Japan.
The model can be customized with items from other series by attaching them to the 3mm hard points around the body, and it can also be used with Sousai Shojo Teien face and bang parts allowing for customization options that are unique from previously released series.

Articulation Features:
The standard Principal model has approximately 50 points of articulation throughout the body. The knee joint is comprised of a single layer of joints and can be bent inward enough to allow the model to sit with one knee up. The knee armor can move independently and can be adjusted to the desired position.
The shoulders are composed of multiple joints, and they can be pulled forward to recreate a crossed arms pose. The range of movement around the shoulders also supports a wide range of poses, such as dynamic full body action poses and two-handed sword stances.
The torso part also has an excellent range of motion, allowing the model to be posed lying down. The neck can move in all directions, allowing for poses where the head is turned away. The elbows have a deep bend that makes charming poses such as putting a hand on the cheek possible.
The right and left hip joints can move independently in all four directions, allowing users to recreate stretching and split poses. The model has an incredible range of poses that can be displayed, from high kicks to sitting curled up.
For the rear armor, there is also a single-piece version that is not separated into left and right parts that can be used freely.

Three-point Wrist Joints:
The wrists are designed to bend inwards almost 180 degrees which allow the hard point to be brought forward. Combining the model with weapon units sold separately can turn the arms themselves into weapons, recreating a monster-like appearance. The normal wrist joints and spacer can be used freely to one’s preference.

Hands:
Seven types of hands are included and consist of hands designed for holding swords and guns as well as knife-hand strike hands and multiple open hands.

Compatibility of Heads and Masks:
The head features multiple layers that can be removed.
The visor has the same design as the bangs of Sousai Shojo Teien models, so it can be used interchangeably.
Principal’s mask is also compatible with Sousai Shojo Teien face parts allowing characters to wear the mask or helmet.
The kit includes two types of Principal masks. In addition to the normal mask, a version with movable eyes has also been included. The eyes can look in all directions and be adjusted by using the hilt of the included short sword.

*Regarding visor/mask compatibility: Sousai Shojo Teien’s Ao Gennai and Bukiko Kotobuki use unique standards so they are not compatible with Principal.
