Uses the Silhouette 1 body (same as Archer, Assassin, Knight, Lancer and Priest).
The 30MF "Swordman" (the Engrish version of Swordsman) is a gladiator/Greco-roman style Class, even described as being a Colosseum fighter (apparently the world of DLRO has arenas). Described as being balanced and versatile multi-weapon fighters that function well alone or with others.
Aesthetics:
The Silhouette uses a dark navy plastic and the same for its ring pieces, while the armor is gunmetal grey with a satin shine, unlike his golden counterpart which is more glossy and fuzzy. He uses clear blue for his eyes and the 'Water' crystal on his chest.
The main difference between this and the Liber version is the face plate and the sideways crest, which has more of a Roman style versus the Liber Greek looking face plate.
In typical Rosan style, his face has a skull motif, unlike the more mecha styled faces of the Liber type.
I recommend using a GM01 Gundam Marker fine liner, instead of a pour type, to highlight all the detail, as he will pop significantly more.
Mechanics:
I've written this a bunch of times, but overall 30MF kits have good articulation despite single joint elbows, and this kit is no different.
I will say though, that the shoulder pauldrons/armor sits worse over the shoulders, with less clearance, easily the worst fitting shoulders of all the 30MF kits that I have. Not a big deal, but a little annoying.
Unlike the Fighter, the calf armor doesn't limit the leg bend.
Equipment:
1 Fantasy styled Spatha
1 Short Sword/Dagger
1 Metal connector part - Can attach each hilt end of the two blades to make a 'double sword'
1 Ring Sheath that the sword or dagger fits into (but the C-clip is better for the short sword)
1 Round Shield or buckler with assorted grips
1 set Metal Armor - One of the most comprehensive sets, only lacking thigh plates
6 hands - Holding, fists and open palms
Assorted dark navy rings with and without pegs
Conclusion:
Silhouette 1 kits have the most compatibility, as only the Wizard and Fighter have other silhouettes.
I like the metal color, it's not as obnoxious as some of the more silver style metal injection plastic that Bandai uses (even on the PGU Nu which is a farce), but it's not entirely without swirls or those annoying dark lines.
I feel like the historical association to the "Colosseum" and the obvious Greco-roman style is a little too on the nose and differentiates itself too much from the much more D&D styled fantasy-medieval 30MF kits.
The Rosan Gladiator Class up uses blue plastic instead of red and while the Liber version really got a visual upgrade, the blue looks a little toy'ish and cheap. An odd reverse situation. Still, overall, if you like the more historical looking armor, then this is one of the best 30MF kits.
