The figure from \"Blue Comet SPT Layzner\" uses a completely new sculpt with proportions based on Kunio Okawara's design drawings. Armor on each part opens to expose internal parts and reproduce the heat dissipation state after V-MAX activation, while an LED in the neck ball joint drives a compound-eye light-emitting gimmick.","whyItMatters":"The armor deployment and LED light-up translate the V-MAX activation sequence into a physical gimmick rather than a fixed display pose, which is where a Layzner figure earns its shelf space over earlier releases.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAt roughly 165mm tall, the figure is built from ABS, die-cast, and PVC. The Laser Rifle is the included weapon, and the Knuckle Shot is handled with movable parts so punches can be thrown without swapping pieces. The backpack and two calf missiles can be removed, and the Laser Rifle mounts on the backpack.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pilot figure of Eiji comes in two versions, seated for the cockpit and standing, with parts swapping to allow boarding, alighting, or riding on Layzner\u0026#39;s left shoulder.
