Infinite Dimension MG 1/100 Nemesis Model Kit -Assembly Experience and Design Evaluation of the Model

Main Body Overview

The Nemesis retains Infinite Dimension’s signature design style, blending bold and dynamic lines with refined curves around the shoulders, torso, arms, and thighs for a sleek yet robust look. The color palette primarily features red, deep blue, and gray-white, with golden accents on select details, enhancing its imposing “boss mecha” appearance.

After removing the backpack and weapons, the focus shifts entirely to the main body. The designers also offered options for red or blue shoulder and calf thrusters during assembly, showcasing their attention to customization.

When stripped of external armor, the internal frame reveals an intricate skeletal structure, demonstrating remarkable engineering for a 1/100 scale model. The internal details include layered components and etched plates for additional depth.

Standing approximately 20cm tall (24cm with the shoulder armor and backpack), Nemesis surpasses the size of its predecessor, “1/100 Genesis,” released three years ago.

Detail Examination

The model includes maintenance hatch structures across the armor to showcase the detailed inner frame.

Head: While named “Nemesis,” the head sculpt with added gray parts gives it a more rugged, older look.

Arms: The arms feature intricate details beneath the large shoulder armor, with aluminum foil stickers enhancing the visual appeal.

Shoulders: Each shoulder has a retractable mechanism that unfolds dramatically, resembling a blooming flower.

Legs: Similar in design to the arms, the silver frames of the thighs are structured with a left-right distinction. Knee articulation triggers a rotational effect in the calf thrusters.

Backpack: Serving as both a cockpit and escape pod, the backpack houses a removable pilot figure and includes a three-axis movable stand for dynamic display.

To address weight concerns when fully equipped, the set includes a dedicated support column for stability.

Maintenance Platform

The diorama-style platform adds an extra dimension to the display, inspired by the iconic “Disassembled Mechanic” setup. It features rich details like mechanical arms, wiring, grates, and expandable connection slots.

The mechanical arms can hold accessories like folded swords.
Dedicated slots on both sides of the platform store up to 10 physical blades, evoking the image of a “sword graveyard.”

Armaments

Nemesis comes equipped with 12 weapons that can be attached to the backpack for dual functionality as wing-like structures or cloak-like displays.

Foldable Blades: The modular design allows three sizes of physical blades to be created by extending the core folding knife, which can transform into a short sword or pistol.

Beam Rifle Mode: The physical greatsword can separate into parts, forming a beam rifle.
Image suggestion: Conversion from greatsword to beam rifle.

Shield Claw: The claw tips can change direction to function as pincers.
Image suggestion: Shield claw in both standard and pincer forms.

Articulation

The articulation excels, thanks to the POM and ABS materials used for major joints. Players can choose which material to use based on their preferences.

Head: Features a wide range of motion, with silver detailing at the throat for added realism.
Waist: Includes multi-joint segments to counterbalance the heavy backpack. Pre-assembled POM joints are highly recommended here.
Legs: The hips feature a downward joint for enhanced mobility, enabling dynamic poses like kneeling.
Arms: Include two-stage elbow bends and forward-stretching shoulders. Four interchangeable hand types (fist, open palm, claw, and weapon grip) are included for versatile posing.

Conclusion

The Nemesis mecha from Infinite Dimension delivers an impressive combination of intricate details, robust articulation, and versatile customization options. Despite minor issues with backpack interference, it stands out as a must-have for collectors and mecha enthusiasts.
