calubin_175 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I am really looking forward to the 1/2000 Yamato line. They may still make an SoC Andromeda 2202 but non-scale at 42cm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 To me Metal build is basically just GFFMC without Katoki. The GFF line was always the Ver. Ka toy line; Metal build was effectively just a continuation of what the GFFMC sub line was doing only without Katoki styling. I feel like the areas where Metal Build has been better (more diecast, better articulation, etc.) are more to do with what suits each line has done and the fact that Metal Build are newer (IIRC, wing zero is going to be the first completely new GFFMC since the metal build line was introduced).

Sigh, think I'll have to get both the High-Res and the GFF... (never did buy the MG, and the RG is basically lacking the multi-tone coloring that defines RG to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brannon Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've never liked the design of any model or toy wing zero they just never caught my attention. Gundam wing introduced me to gundam so I always wanted a wing zero I think I'm gonna jump in with this wing zero. It looks really good to me.

Archer Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The mold looks awesome, but I really hope they don't go the route of that super shiny candy-finish looking paint-scheme, especially since GFFMC are usually finished in matte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The that thick candy-finish look is probably because they actually did a quick paint work on the sample. GFFMC has been using a glossy light Prism coating on pretty much all their Unicorn releases. micro glitters here ,there, everywhere. I think the last one with matte finish was the rx-78-2 origin reissue. more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I'd prefer matte to glossy metallic, but awesome is still awesome so I'm getting it either way. I'd also really like a GFFMC Nu Gundam, but that's neither here nor there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Yeah, GFFMC Wing looks pretty good, it'll be on my "buy" list. Appreciate all of the insight posted, I know next to nothing about any Gundam beyond what's released in the Metal Build line. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its MB , im sure they will have effects and extra funnels for option part. I wonder if they plan on making a Metal Robot ver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 That picture F360 posted looks really good, regardless of Candy finish. I am definitely in for one! Get to re-live all that Gundam Wing elementary school-era angst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eslim109 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks everyone for the feedback! I only own Metal Builds so I was curious to know more about the GFFMC line with the new Wing Zero being revealed. I'll be ordering it when it comes out on preorder but just wanted some insight on what I would be getting myself into haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 METAL ROBOT-Tamahii "00 RAISER with GN SWORD lll" Due to the plan anime styling , it looks very lacking in tempo and detail in this small figure. But they really put tons of diecast on this one, and it's very poseable. The display base/stand is very nice too. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/52005144.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I hope so, because Wing Zero is much more popular in the USA than F91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Seeing that Metal Damashii's 00 Gundam will have XN-Raiser release soon, hope they make one for the Metal Build counterpart. Wouldn't mind if it's a TWE release though. I mean, they did all that extra big parts with the Red Astray, why can't they do it in 00 Raiser?
