Expand How about the KO version that. cost 1.5K which include the fin funnels? Quote

Shukenzero Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Got one of my Metal Build Justice Gundam units in. Beautiful but the knee parts are loose. Friend has been telling me some ppl are complaining of QC problems, but he hasn’t specified what he’s read yet. I will need to check my second copy coming in later this week. Quote

If you read the kanji on the left, it says (paraphrased) "Origin point, Again (or Return)" and on the right where the Sazabi is it says "Katai, continued". A lot of the Japanese comments below are about a reissue. Actually more are commenting about the Nu Gundam than the Sazabi, lol.

Expand Agreed. I think the KO is more static than the actual Metal Structure one. But then even though the Metal Structure have articulation, I don't think it will do as much like a regular Metal Build figure. Besides, I also don't have space anymore for big figure. I rather wait if ever they will do Metal Build release for Nu. Quote

And I don't want to suck that much vertical display up in one of my cases. But, if it's the same height or shorter than my PG Perfect Strike I'll put it next to that. It's quite tall with all of the weapons. Quote
Grey728 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 If you mount the funnels on the back of the Nu Gundam the vertical height would be about 24 inches. Quote
Bobby Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 It's quite a bit larger ... here's a size comparison next to PG Perfect Strike on pedestal (after Temjin conversion)... Quote

tjdetweiler Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 They look really good together. Also the Fatum is huge!!!!! joints are very tight and paint apps are really good, different shades of red (or maroon, dark red etc) Highly recommended! Quote
tjdetweiler Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 The Metal Structure is an amazing piece! Whenever I get visitors and dont know anything about Gundam - everyone noticed it cause of the detail, the maintenance crew, setup etc and obviously its size. Quote
Bobby Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like you got all the ad-ons! 😎 Haha showing a visitor new to Gundam a Metal Structure is like setting the bar waaay high for their future frame of reference 😄 Speaking of which my introduction (and 1st Gundam) was to this "metal" build...
