Pictures updated.

Stay updated with the latest toy news. Iron Toys has released a 1/100 TC-02 Start Eternal Model Kit. Let's assess its performance through the official photos!

▼ Xingheng's frame still includes alloy parts, mainly distributed below the hips. The upper body only has alloy + POM in the load-bearing joints. The overall assembly is very smooth and effortless.

▼ This time, it comes with a pilot figure.

▼ The knee joints feature several interconnected mechanisms. When bent, two hydraulic rods extend, and the thruster on the back of the lower leg also moves in tandem.

▼ The base is quite large, and its features deserve special attention.

▼ The main support frame is quite sturdy, with richly detailed engravings. What's different this time is that the lifting and retracting of the stand is controlled by a knob, making it both convenient and secure.

▼ The adjustable range is shown in the image.

▼ The retracted section also features hydraulic detail work.

▼ The base cover has anti-slip textured panel details.

▼ When the cover is opened, there is no interference, and the internal storage space is quite large, able to hold all accessories except for the effect parts and weapons.

▼ There are a total of 6 pairs of hands, and the installation method this time is very simple and reliable, so you no longer have to worry about the weapons being unstable.

▼ Contents of the kit (excluding alternate color armor and effect parts).

▼ For this review, the stealth color scheme was chosen, and the armor assembly process was very smooth. The only parts that were slightly loose were the small yellow rear skirt armor pieces, H11 and H12, which needed some reinforcement.

▼ The design of the main body shows some hints of the OO series style. I personally like the proportions—slender waist, with the length of the arms and thighs looking normal, creating a very balanced appearance. The detail work is quite rich, but this is more a matter of personal preference.

▼ The head parts are finely detailed, even the eye sockets are separate pieces.

▼ Both the head and chest feature magnetic LED units, with green transparent parts to guide the light, and an outer layer of gray transparent pieces covering them, giving it a very high-tech feel. However, the headlight isn’t fixed in place, which can cause insufficient brightness in the eyes, so it’s best to use some green putty to secure it.

▼ The shoulder armor has a strong sense of layering and rich color separation.

▼ Overall, the articulation is sufficient. The head has a good range of motion for both looking up and down, but horizontal rotation is somewhat limited as the yellow structures on both sides interfere with the chin.

▼ The bending and side-swinging of the waist will move the outer armor in sync, though unfortunately the range of movement is not very large and the effect is not visible in the images.

▼ The horizontal rotation of the waist is most affected by the skirt armor, as shown in the picture.

▼ The shoulder joints have a wide range of motion for both upward and forward movement.

▼ The front side skirt armor has a clearance design.

▼ Both the front and side kicks of the legs can reach 90 degrees, with bending shown as in the picture.

▼ The knee joint has intricate details with synchronized movement.

▼ The ankle joint has excellent ground contact, and the foot has two segments of articulation.

▼ The backpack drone part doesn’t have a dedicated connector, so it can only be displayed on a stand.

▼ With a simple transformation, it can be attached to the main body, and the connection method is fairly reliable.

▼ As for weapons, there are two beam rifles with extendable front ends.

▼ The rifles can be attached to the back of the backpack, but they are only loosely hooked on, which feels a bit unstable.

▼ Additionally, a small shield is included with a simple unfolding mechanism.

▼ The shield can be equipped with effect parts, and the transparency enhances the overall effect nicely.

▼ The two large beam cannons on the drone have nearly omnidirectional connecting arms with excellent holding power, allowing for almost any pose.

▼ The cannons also have several unfolding mechanisms.

▼ The barrel can directly accommodate large effect parts.

▼ The main body also has several unfolding mechanisms, specifically on the shoulders and the rear skirt armor.

▼ The cannon’s connecting arm can also be attached directly to the rear skirt armor using an adapter, but this position isn’t very reliable in terms of support, so it’s not highly recommended.

▼ The base comes with two small stands that can be used to support the cannon’s connecting arm.

▼ In summary, this Star Heng model offers a significantly improved assembly and play experience compared to the Star Mie. The assembly process is very smooth. The main body’s weight distribution is well-controlled, allowing for stable poses even with a heavy backpack. The key joints have excellent holding power. The overall design is very stable with no major weaknesses. The two different color schemes for the outer armor can be mixed and matched to create various visual effects.

▼ That about covers the playability features. Below are some pose photos.
