This eye-catching set was released in 2025 and the only reason I didn't buy it immediately is that the price for 695 pieces (+a minifig) is not too friendly. For example, it is more expensive than B1183 (Red Samurai) with 923 pieces, but I guess it is time to accept that Sluban just changed their pricing policy :)
Ordered at AE J Shark Blocks Store for 25,47 Eur (sale coupon), 15 days to the EU.
Relaxed building took about 4 hours. And it was REALLY relaxing. The process was so smooth it felt like a meditation :)
Brick quality: as I've already noticed in my previous reviews on Sluban, their quality has really got better. It is REALLY close to GoBricks or Lego now, and event their special moulded pieces that you have to cut out are actually great. Still maybe one more step to reach the top, but definitely 9/10.
Design: that's where this model reaches its climax. With 695 pieces it's quite big, almost as Red Samurai, and it is super stable. Ratchet-joints are used in hips, knees and even arms, supporting pistons for leg-foot connection and also in torso. Though not very pose-able because of its weight, all these systems make the mech to support itself easily. Nothing falls off. The final model is SO slick with the perfect combination of colours and all the lines and forms that you just cannot stop looking at it. I have to mention that it shares some techniques similar to military mechas that were released before it (I've reviewed one of them), but in this model all of them has reached perfection. Over the top designing, 11/10.
Stickers/prints: Not that many stickers this time, I can tolerate this amount, though they are harder to apply because of mostly transparent background, but they are high-quality and you can re-apply them several times. No prints. 9/10.
Instructions: perfectly clear, good quality paper, usual Sluban manual. Steps are numbered. As I mentioned, the building process was exceptionally smooth and entertaining, it was so immersive it seemed to me that I spent twice less time on it. 10/10.
To conclude, 39/40, and the best creation by Sluban to date. I can easily recommend it to all mecha-fans :)
P.S. The minifig has simplistic prints but this time not high-tech ones but rather medieval-themed, which was unusual :)
P.P.S. The stand is absolutely useless and is a waste of pieces. The mech looks great without it.

以下为中文翻译：
这套造型吸睛的积木套装 2025 年就发售了，我当初没第一时间入手，唯一原因就是定价不太亲民 —— 整套 695 块零件，还附赠一个人仔，性价比偏低。举个例子，它零件数才 695，比 923 块的 B1183 红武士款还要贵。不过想来也只能接受，快乐鲁班（Sluban）的定价策略确实调整了。
我在速卖通 J 鲨鱼积木店铺下单，叠加优惠券后实付 25.47 欧元，发往欧盟地区耗时 15 天。
慢悠悠拼完大概花了 4 个小时，整个拼装过程真的特别解压。步骤衔接顺畅，静心拼搭的感觉像冥想一样治愈。
积木颗粒品质
我之前测评过不少快乐鲁班的产品，能明显感觉到它家品控提升巨大，颗粒质感现在已经无限接近高砖（GoBricks）和乐高。就连那种需要从板件上掰下来的特殊开模件，做工也很出色。距离顶尖水准还差一小步，但综合能给到 9 分（满分 10）。
造型设计
这套机甲的设计是最大亮点，堪称巅峰之作。695 块零件拼出的成品尺寸不小，几乎和红武士款持平，整体结构稳固度拉满。胯部、膝盖乃至手臂都采用棘轮关节结构，腿部与脚掌衔接、躯干内部还搭配了液压杆组件。虽然整机自重偏大，可摆的姿势不算多，但这套联动结构足以让机甲稳稳自立，不会出现零件脱落的情况。
配色搭配恰到好处，线条与造型流畅利落，成品颜值极高，让人越看越喜欢。顺带一提，它沿用了该品牌此前几款军事机甲的搭建结构（其中一款我也做过测评），但这套把所有结构设计打磨到了极致，设计水准直接拉满，满分 10 分的话我给 11 分。
贴纸与印刷件
本次配套贴纸数量不多，这个量我完全能接受；不过贴纸大多是透明底，贴的时候对齐难度更高，但贴纸本身材质优质，贴歪了能反复撕下来重贴。整套没有自带印刷砖，该项评分 9/10。
拼装说明书
图纸逻辑清晰易懂，用纸质量不错，是快乐鲁班一贯的说明书水准，每一步都标有序号。正如前文所说，整套拼装流程流畅又有乐趣，沉浸感极强，体感上实际耗时仿佛只有一半，该项满分 10 分。
总结
综合总分 39/40，是快乐鲁班目前出品的最佳机甲作品，非常推荐所有机甲爱好者入手。
附言 1：配套人仔的印刷图案比较简约，风格不是科幻高科技风，而是少见的中世纪题材，挺有新意。
附言 2：配套支架完全鸡肋，纯纯浪费零件，机甲不靠支架摆放也十分好看。
