Gimmick - Rating out of 5:*****
==========================================================
This guy has shit lots of gimmicks! Part of the stand can perform "shooting" effects for the sword on the left arm and a funnel flying effect. The base of the stand can merge with the model itself. One of the really cool things is the shoulder shields that store the dragon claws. You can flap out the claws as additional weapons. Like the sou-hi model, his backpack can hold both his swords, which I think is a really nice touch. Oh and not forgetting the new shoulder amour design I thought was quite good, looks more sturdy then previous models. I shall describe his different modes and components.

Koumei Nu

His basic armored mode would be the Nu gundam, pretty neat. He has the funnels thingy, 2 swords! And shields on each side of his shoulders! Plus he has an additional chest piece for a full amour mode.

Koumei Hi-Nu

Koumei becomes Hi-Nu gundam when he merge with his bird companion, makes him look way cooler then he already is. The bird gives him extra wings (funnels) and thrusters.

Dragon mode 1

This is the mode I hate the most, don't know why Bandai has it as an official mode. Koumei Nu transforms to a dragon. It’s basically just half a dragon with only 2 feet!

Bird

Yeah a bird which is really big. He has pretty good articulation on the feet, wings and head.

Dragon mode 2

And finally the best mode of em all, the REAL dragon mode! LOL. Bird and dragon mode 1 merge into this huge Chinese dragon with bird wings! LOL.. erm, it probably sounds funny, but it’s awesome. I could stare at this for hours.

==========================================================
Look/Color Scheme - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================

Overall nice color scheme, consist mostly of white, black and gold. Although it’s nice, I still feel that it is lacking alot of details.

==========================================================
Painting - Rating out of 5:***
==========================================================
It isn't too difficult or too much to paint for Koumei Nu. I took a long time because I added some extra details just about everywhere on him! LOL.

==========================================================
Conclusion and overall - Rating out of 5:****
==========================================================
Quite a boring color scheme, but that can be fixed. 1 thing about his dragon mode that took some points off him is that, his face is exposed at the neck, which can be quite a turn off. For the same price as Chou-un , the bird is definitely more worth while then the horse that doesn't do much. Alot of weapons, I like the fact that he has 2 swords and it comes with a stand for many effects.
