Suit Up For Combat: Unveiling The Governors In Kotobukiya’s Exciting Hexa Gear World

Kotobukiya's Hexa Gear is more than a model kit line; it’s a detailed, post-apocalyptic universe. In this world, humanity's future hangs in the balance after an environmental collapse. The narrative centers on a fierce conflict between the Liberty Alliance, who seek to maintain biological life, and the Valiant Force, who follow an AI's plan for humanity's digital preservation. It's a rich sci-fi setting for imaginative modelers.

The Governors: Human-Scale Heroes

At the heart of every Hexa Gear model kit is a "Governor"—a human or human-like pilot. These 1/24 scale figures are the real stars of the world, serving as mobile infantry and pilots for the massive mechanical units. Despite their small size, Governors are intricately designed with high articulation and a range of interchangeable parts, allowing collectors to pose them dynamically alongside their mecha.

A Dystopian Background Story

The Governors' struggle is rooted in a compelling dystopian story. They were originally created as "Armor Types" to survive a corrupted planet, but evolved into soldiers for a corporate war over a new energy source called HEXA G-R.A.M. The conflict intensified when an AI named SANAT proposed saving humanity by digitizing consciousness, forcing Governors to choose sides between biological survival and digital immortality.

Different Types and Variants

The Governor line includes a wide variety of figures to populate the factions. You'll find standard combat units like the "Para-Pawn," representing SANAT's uploaded soldiers. There are also specialized types, such as the armored "Luke" or the mounted "Knight," each with unique gear and a specific role in the war. This diversity allows you to collect a whole army of distinct figures for any scenario you imagine.

Customization and Cross-Compatibility

A key feature of Governors is their "Scrap & Build" concept. They are designed with standardized 3mm connection points, allowing parts to be swapped between different Governors, their weapons, and even larger Hexa Gear units. This cross-compatibility encourages creators to constantly modify and personalize their figures. It's an invitation to experiment and create truly unique characters for your own stories.
