Well I have issues with the sculpt of the Metal Build Hi-Nu (especially the lower legs) from the pictures we have seen for the last Tamashii Nations event Quote

It doesn't look like the traditional Hi-Nu legs. But I'm guessing the MB legs will just hold fine than its model kits counterpart. Quote
brouken Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 That shield on the Hi-Nu....it ain't right. Quote

carlsylar Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Hi nu is not the quite metal build style and it looks like Bandai is not going to change the appearance of it. Quote
no3Ljm Posted December 24, 2021 Author Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) That looks nice. Though why Metal Build always have those tall main camera section on the head? (Looking back at Strike Freedom) Also, does the item description box mentioned any release date or MSRP or it's still TBA, @carlsylar? Edited December 24, 2021 by no3Ljm Quote

Archer Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Has there been any mention of when the metal structure sazabi is going up for order, or if they’re planning a nu re-release? Thx Quote

Duymon Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) I know that metal build takes a lot of stylish liberties with the designs but dayam that Hi-Nu looks blegh. did they get the proportions wrong or are we too used to katoki's hi-nu :0 Edited December 26, 2021 by Duymon Quote

Also, the original, pre-Katoki design had the polka-dot shield. Quote

close313 Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 The legs of the MB Hi Nu does look off to me too. The shape is fine, great even, but the lower half definitely needed to be enlarged eg. a lil bit longer and girthier. Cause the arms and head/torse look exceptionally long and large respectively. The shield could be mounted abit higher too. The providence also look REALLY off. but what the heck...im hoping to get both anyway 😂 Quote

I’m fairly certain that the inevitable HWS will come with a white shield so not to scratch the precious polka dots when attaching the HWS „thing“ to it. Quote

F360 Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Nice , kinda tempted, but will wait for the non-paintball version Quote
Scyla Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 I’m glad not many people are interested in the Hi-Nu. Will make it easier to order for me. 😛 Quote

no3Ljm Posted January 5, 2022 Author Posted January 5, 2022 What are the chances that Bandai is going to make this thru their Chogokin line like the RX-78F00? I know I don't like that Long Range Fin Funnel, but if this is the only way of having a Chogokin/Metal Build-esque Nu-Gundam, would you guys get it too sans the rainbow-colored Amuro insignia and bluer blue/grey parts from the original scheme?
