Speaking of exclusives, Gaia V1 arrived yesterday.






Hands are a little bit tighter to pop on and off; shoulder posability is hindered a bit by the standard collar, but he comes with an extra one that frees up the shoulder a bit. Unlike Gaia V2 and Agul V2, no extra light-piped head is included either.

(Quick comparison shot w/Gaia V2. I don't have Agul V1 yet, unfortunately, so no shots with him.)



Effects parts are nice. The photon edge simply slides onto the head and is a pretty tight grip - there is a whole for a Tamashii stand to peg into it as well, if you want more support depending on the pose you're going for. I can get him stable when posed this way, but if he's more compact I'll need the stand since he's rather top-heavy with the photon edge on his head.




Four XIG aircraft are included. They're nice and detailed and have pegholes for a Tamashii stand...but no Tamashii stand is included. That's a bit of a pet peeve for me.



V1's rather loaded, accessory-wise, compared to recent Ultra-Act web exclusives, so it's worth picking up, especially if you're a big Gaia fan. The lack of a Tamashii stand is a bit irritating, but the only downside I can see for this release.
