So is it confirmed that there is indeed a GFFMetal Composite of the wing or will it be a hybrid of some sort like the Metal Robot Spirits? Yeah , it was confirmed at their recent 10th anniversary world tour. Just not sure when preorder is going to go up.

Archer Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I think the proportions of the hi-res are just a little too strange for my tastes. Feel like the GFFMC hits the design bang on to how the wing zero was shown in endless waltz, especially with the cool wing re-design to add more feathers and articulation.

I'd say the Hi-Res caters to decidedly shounen aesthetics, whereas the original EW redesign caters a lot to shoujo tastes. The proportions are especially telling, very bishounen. 1 hour ago, F360 said: I think the hi-res is base off the manga or something. something like this Spot on. The Wing Zero goes through a WHOLE BUNCH of design revisions in the manga, starting from the Proto Zero design, gradually turning into angel feathers Wing Zero, and from there a few more revisions to look similar to how it does here. This model bulks up the design significantly, though. (Someone with more knowledge than me explains it in greater detail halfway down this post.)

kajnrig Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 God damn it, they brought back that stupid stupid STUPID "mah chest is a maw" mechanic... Otherwise, the extra wings look smaller than I initially they would be. I was under the impression they were another set of full-sized wings. Twin buster rifle has undergone some extensive changes. Handles have been moved way closer to the middle of the gun, which is fine except it makes it look more like a bazooka now than a "rifle." But eh. It looks fine, though.

Archer Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That "angel" pose just doesn't work for the Hi-Rez given how thicc its legs and hips are imo. Similar to the issues suffered by the PG. Having said that, the wings look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are ready any time and jump on any open slots between now and release then you will have a good chance . The demand for that thing should be huge in japan, so if you missed it near release , just look for it else where like in the USA market.

I'm exploring the option of getting into the metal build line. I had no idea how popular these toys were. I assumed there was going to be a lot more supply based on how popular gundam is in japan. Maybe I'll jump down to the Metal Robot Damashii line and get the 00 Raiser. But man, the details on the Metal Build are so good!! It's going to be even more amazing if they make the XN raiser parts too! I'd really like that! It's also really surprising they haven't done a lot of U.C. suits in this line. Were the Seed and 00 Gundam series that popular in Japan? I have no idea on what's popular over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 if you are interested in the metal build line you can check out what out or coming soon here http://tamashii.jp/item_brand/metal_build/ you should Check out some reviews on youtube too. The Metal Build Seven Sword is one of the first metal builds that never had a reissue, so the demand for this new one is much higher than pretty much any other metal build that's out. The Metal Robot line is still fairly new so it's much easier to get , you will still fine them for msrp pricing after release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at them and watched a couple reviews. This line looks really good! I guess I'll pray that a pre-order opens up and do some research on american stores as well. I'm definitely going to pay attention when they make anything similar to Zeta or the different derivatives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I've been researching metal builds on the net. Most of it is straight forward but I'm utterly confused with all these 00 Riser/Seven Sword releases. Then throwing in the mo-show stuff makes it even more confusing. Can someone give me a simple breakdown of all the releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I noticed that GMC store already have on their list Metal Gear Trans-Am versions for both Raiser and Seven Sword. Did you order those too? I'm not a big fan of the overall Trans-Am look on the toy so it's an easy skip for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
