Duymon Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Jumping on the Metal Robot train for the Hazel. Who cares if I have multiples of every MG hazel I need this figure to play with while all my MG Hazels are just display pieces lul Edited September 22, 2021 by Duymon Quote
brannon Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 That hazel is an awesome piece. so this being p-Bandai limited it should go up on the US p-Bandai site? part of me says a metal build hazel is next save your money. Don't let them get you like they did with Justice lol. Quote
eXis10z Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 I doubt Hazel will be a metal build. Quote
Darth Mingus Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 My wallet is crying thinking about all the add-ons and variants the Hazel will spawn. But I can't resist... Quote
hkj711 Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 The metal robot spirits Gundam TR-1 Hazel preorder will be available on the US P-Bandai site: https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2596036001001 Quote

General Rasp Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Every once in awhile Bandai surprises me in a good way, this is one of those times. I love the Advance of Zeta designs and it is amazing to see them in an action figure format, not just model kits. The Hazel looks great and I am personally looking forward to the Titan color repaint with the Advanced Hazel. And they already teased a Hrududu add-on. I will take any and all AOZ designs they can do as metal robot spirits. Hoping for a MRS Woundwort is wishful thinking but would be awesome to see. Quote

Am I deciphering this correctly. The Metal Robot Spirit line is quite a bit nicer than the The Robot Spirit line? Man, that's confusing. Especially if you're searching the secondary market. Quote

The Metal Robot Spirit line is quite a bit nicer than the The Robot Spirit line? Man, that's confusing. Especially if you're searching the secondary market. Correct. Think of Robot Spirits as Bandai standard quality action figures. All plastic, great articulation, and some tampo markings/paint apps. The next step would be Robot Spirits ver Ka, same thing as Robot Spirits but a lot more paints apps, tampos, and possibly more sculpted detail. The Ver Ka. figures are also released less frequently. Maybe four to five a year and only for (mostly) main mobile suits. Then you get into the Metal Robot Spirits. Same scale as the Robot Spirits but they have a metal skeleton, similar to Metal Builds. In my opinion the quality overall also get better. The plastic, paint, and details are noticeable better when compared to the regular Robot Spirits. The numbers of tampos go way up, like you can get tiny red warning signs on vents to larger factions symbols on the shoulders. Bandai also packs a lot more accessories with the MRS releases. The only negative I find is the tolerances can be very tight out of the box. I usually work the joints slowly so I don't stress the metal and end up with a break. Hope that helps. I have 90% of the MRS line so if you have questions about a specific suit let me know. Quote

They will probably work really well with how I want to do my Gundam display. My main bots are/will be 1/60 PG's. They're about 14-15" tall. That leaves room (without looking crowded) for some MRS's to hang out in front/between them. MB's are too big for that. I was poking around earlier looking for a complete release list. I found THIS (it has some MB's scattered in). Is this all of them? Or, are there more? By any chance have a link to all of them? Thanks! Quote

Based on recent past prices, US retail is closer to JP retail without JP consumption tax. Justice seems to be changing that trend as it is $30 or more compared to JP retail sans tax. Quote
