Sky Eye Mech God (Qiji 81009)

About this set

The Tianyan Jishen is a sci-fi mecha from KEEPPLEY's Fengshen line, released under the Galaxy Fengshen Ji Super Star Edition as set 81009. With a difficulty of 2/5, it is a fairly approachable plate-based build: parts come on runners and go together without glue, and no painting is needed. The color scheme is blue, white, gold and gray, with blue carrying most of the armor, white breaking up the panels, gold on the head and small details, and gray around the joints and frame. The finished model reads clearly as a mecha: a single horn on the head, shoulder-mounted cannons, a hand-held rifle and claw-shaped feet that give the lower body a distinct silhouette. For assembly, I would build the torso and head first and line up the horn, then add the shoulder cannons and arms, and finish with the legs, claw feet and rifle; the numbered runners make it easy to keep track of parts. At 2/5 it suits newcomers to plate-based building and anyone drawn to the Fengshen setting as a first mecha kit.
