Beyond the new colorway, this version introduces newly tooled parts - a redesigned head, an alternate chest armor option, and alternate foot armor - making it a structural upgrade rather than a simple repaint. Mecha Core Industry (also known as Nucleus Industrial or Tian Wei) is a Chinese third-party mecha manufacturer whose Oberon is the centerpiece of their Star Guardian line, recognized for its MG-scale engineering and 52 cm wingspan backpack system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Angel Color Scheme\u003c\/strong\u003e - Black and dark gray outer armor over a gold matte inner frame, with deep red accent parts across shoulders, front skirt, lower legs, and collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew-Tooling Parts (Ver. 2.0)\u003c\/strong\u003e - Redesigned head sculpt with a more angular Gundam-style silhouette, alternate wider chest armor with dark gray heat sinks, and streamlined alternate foot armor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparent Armor Options\u003c\/strong\u003e - Includes transparent black outer armor runner (swappable with solid black) and transparent red parts (swappable with solid dark red), allowing builders to reveal the gold inner frame beneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e52 cm Wingspan Backpack\u003c\/strong\u003e - Large articulated wing system with internal linkage mechanisms and built-in wing-tip supports for freestanding display\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Weapon Loadout\u003c\/strong\u003e - Energy sword, composite gun-shield, dual close-combat sabers, and dual modular close-combat weapons, all recolored to match the Dark Angel scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunnel System with Dedicated Display\u003c\/strong\u003e - Six feather-style remote funnels with individual transparent stands and a ring-shaped display base for floating formation arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold Matte Inner Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pre-colored internal skeleton with hydraulic rod linkage at the waist and multi-joint articulation throughout the legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilder Context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oberon Dark Angel Ver. 2.0 is an intermediate-to-advanced build with 25 runners and snap-fit construction that does not require cement. Builders familiar with MG-grade Bandai kits will find the complexity comparable, though third-party fit tolerances apply - some pegs may need reaming or reinforcement. The wing backpack joints benefit from tightening with a joint reinforcement pen for stable posing, and the front skirt's small red accent parts can come loose during handling. An action base is recommended for display with the full wing system deployed, as the backpack weighs nearly as much as the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Build This Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mecha Core Industry 1\/100 Oberon Dark Angel Ver. 2.0 is one of the few third-party 1\/100 mecha kits that offers both a dramatic color variant and genuinely new tooling - the redesigned head, wider chest armor, and angular foot plates give the Dark Angel a distinct silhouette rather than just a palette swap. At 23 cm tall with a 52 cm wingspan, the completed build has commanding shelf presence that exceeds most MG Gunpla in sheer footprint, making it a natural display centerpiece. The transparent black and transparent red armor options add visual depth by revealing the gold inner frame, which gives intermediate builders a way to achieve a layered look without painting. Builders who already own the original white Oberon will find the Dark Angel version worth building separately for the new head and chest sculpt alone, while newcomers to Mecha Core Industry should note that the original Oberon's known fit issues - tight wing pivot joints, loose heel armor pegs, and small parts that detach on the front skirt - carry over here and benefit from basic tools like a joint reinforcement pen and nippers. For builders looking at Wing Gundam-inspired third-party kits in the 1\/100 range, the Oberon Dark Angel competes directly with kits like the Infinite Dimension Genesis and Motor Nuclear offerings at a similar price point, with the funnel system and dual-option transparent armor giving it an edge in accessory count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBox Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25 runners (including transparent black and transparent red runners)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold matte pre-colored inner frame runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew-tooling head parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew-tooling chest armor parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew-tooling foot armor parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOriginal head, chest, and foot armor parts (builder's choice)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnergy sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComposite gun-shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose-combat sabers x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModular close-combat weapons x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeather funnels x6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated transparent funnel stands x6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCircular funnel display base x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional gold pre-painted armor runner x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecialized hands x4 pairs (open, gun grip, sword grip, fist)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay base with wing engraving x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay base support arm x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater-slide decal sheet x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstruction manual x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 cm (9.1 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWingspan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52 cm (20.5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRunner Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSnap-fit, no cement required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMecha Core Industry (机核工业)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStar Guardian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVersion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Angel Ver. 2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"background-color: #fde2e2; padding: 16px; border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreorder Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.
