Divine Spear Raptor (Qiji 41214)

About this set

KEEPPLEY 41214 Rapid Lance Dragon sits in the Super Set series, and the box labels it as a mecha beast cube. It builds into a four-legged mechanical beast with a difficulty rating of 2/5, so it is an easy pickup. The color scheme is blue, red, gold and gray, with blue carrying the body and legs while red and gold trim the joints and armor edges and gray shows up around the claws and connectors. The standout features are the twin-barrel launchers on the back and the orange flame effect on the head, giving the model a speed-type mecha look; the front limbs end in claws and the body uses ball joints. When building, attach the ball joints to the torso before closing it up so you can angle all four legs, save the small claw parts for the end, and check that the twin launchers are symmetrical before mounting them. The part count is modest, making this a good first mecha build for anyone new to the hobby or a nice display piece for fans of the blue-red-gold palette.
