Ernesti Echevarria (totally real not clickbait)

come on in, the water's fine (threatening)

MODEROID Ikaruga

I built the chariot. I wanna talk about it, so I'll be trying to fit in the Knights & Magic Moderoids where I can. Which is fine with me because Knights & Magic is one of my favorite anime, and I don't really get to talk about it that much.

If you've never seen it, it's a very fast-paced isekai where the first two-thirds of the show are all about designing and building giant robots, and the last third is having fun with them. It's like a full-scale medieval Gundam Build. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

The Good: This is a pretty perfect sculpt. While it does simplify the colors, all the details are present if you want to paint it. It also has a lot of joints, and a bunch in the arms, specifically.

The Bad: Because of that simplification of color (something a lot of other Moderoids don't do), it's very boring without paint or using the decals. It also doesn't hold together very well, with the legs constantly popping off, and other body parts easily coming loose with time.

The Details: I built this one a while ago, so I don't remember what I was thinking at the time, but I only panel lined and used black fill on this kit. If some of the later ones are any inclination, it might be I was frustrated with it? As I said, this kit is very boring without the decals, so I added all of them on this release.

In the event that Ernie shows up, one of the characters comments that he seems to be taking being in another world rather well.

While this can partly be attributed to him being Isekai-ed, I'd like to propose another theory:

The reason he takes it so well is because, from the moment he makes his appearance in game, he is fully aware he's in an SRW universe.

Back during his life as Kurata, it's likely he played SRW games religiously, so I'm fairly certain he is fully capable of recognizing when he's in one.

And if he had any doubts, they would have been completely resolved the moment he saw that one of the robots just so happens to be a Huckebein.
