I still remember carrying that on the plane with me. It was the 1 Perfect grade that was release before a MG. They were so bad that AMAZON sold them for a cheap price of $29.99 back in the days when they were clearing gundams in the USA, MSIA, MG, HG, ETC. . The PG zaku and rx-78 was $49 IIRC.

I brought one back on the plane with me from Akihabara, and I can believe them selling it for $30. I have HGs that look better. It was so promising until I put the armor on, too. Quote
Kuma Style Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Got the full review and galla for the Metal Build Crossbone Gundam X-1 up. http://kumastyledesigns.com/metal-build-crossbone-x1-review/ Gave this one a 9.5/10. It really nails it on all levels and honestly the accessory count is pretty damned awesome. It's great to have a figure feel so "complete" out of the box. Here are some pics from the gallery: Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Just got my Eva in, do the arm joints feel a bit loose to anyone else? Quote
dragonstar1982 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Just got my Eva in, do the arm joints feel a bit loose to anyone else? All my joints are pretty stiff Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 So, checking again, it's just one joint. The inner shoulder joint that goes up-down to the side, and has a soft ratchet at the upmost end on the right shoulder is pretty loose, takes no force to move it. The one on the left shoulder is slightly firmer, but either one will sag down immediately if the Eva is holding something. Fortunately, there's the main shoulder articulation point, so I can just use that instead to get arm elevation. Quote
brouken Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Whoa, what’s this? A new Metal Build line? I can’t make out the silhoutte at the end. Hope it’s another UC era Gundam. Quote
General Rasp Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) I think the teaser is for our wallets being infinitely empty. Edited March 22, 2019 by General Rasp Spelling Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 Here's the special page for the upcoming Infinity line: https://tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild_infinity/ For now, it contain the Infinity logo and the teaser video that was posted above. Quote
mog_kupo Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Souldnt the Justice be the first one to get a Metal Build release? Then the Infinite Justice Quote
mog_kupo Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 A quick google translate seems to indicate that new Metal Build figure will be the first original design https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/731354/?fbclid=IwAR2p2rjB5Mx5Hte_RxuUdYUnSd7J1L9OIo-m-s3lMBIPyJu93eQghUp0ErA Quote
eXis10z Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Metal Build Infinity - Strike Gundam Infinity Ver. No Infinite Justice. No idea on the pricing although if cheaper than the Aile Strike version, could make this a viable option to get for all the other inevitable upcoming packs. Edited March 25, 2019 by eXis10z Quote
chyll2 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I am interested in the bare strike if it really ended up cheaper (though it should be in deactivate mode) Quote
kajnrig Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Confession: I like the Strike perfectly fine all on its own. Give it that big ol' sword the PG comes with and that's all the extra equipment it needs. Quote

F360 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah , de-active mode would make the most sense for a stand-alone strike since all his packs are power units . Quote
eggy99 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I love the Strike, and even without a Striker pack it looks bad ass. It's too bad I don't like how this one is presented. The weird different shades of grey (warm and cool mixed together... bleh), gold instead of yellow, and the over use of chromed diecast. Not to my taste unfortunately. I'd be happy if they released a colour variant like they did for the 00 Gundam that fixes the use of warm and cool greys, but that wouldn't fix the over use of diecast on the decorative accents. It would make sense for a deactive version to be released as a TWE release. Quote
