I haven't seen a thing. I'll wait it out if there is going to be one.......even though my wife said she would get the one available now for my birthday. How about the KO version that. cost 1.5K which include the fin funnels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukenzero Posted January 31, 2022 Share 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.

I dont know where the reprint/re release rumors came from. From this post specifically. 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. Again, there's room for interpretation and it's Bandai so who the F knows. Edited February 1, 2022 by leeboo1211 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may reconsider 😎 once you start messing with it, not only does it look cool... The catwalks and (clear) railing compliment the cockpit so well... (a little gif action) Plus, although the thing is so heavy the telescoping deck stand can still support it so you can do flying poses... (and then after a little photoshopping)...

(and some more gif action)... It all just kinda screams come to papa... I agree it looks cool. It doesn't match my display style though. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey728 Posted February 3, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjdetweiler Posted February 3, 2022 Share 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!

tjdetweiler Posted February 4, 2022 Share 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.

Bobby Posted February 4, 2022 Share 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...
