Metal Robot Spirits Legend Gundam

Don’t mess with Legend Gundam fans, there’s like 10 of us. 😭

Robot Spirits Hyaku Shiki ver.Anime

(Lighting was not helping the gold, looks better in person @.@)

There’s something so charming about the Zeta era MS, perhaps it’s nostalgia haha. This figure has a great range of motion and comes with a few effect parts for good measure. My only complaint is that placing the weapons or beam saber handles on the back can be a bit tricky especially if you’ve got big fingers. All in all, a solid figure!

Duel + Buster Gundam

These two look great together!

Duel Gundam Assault Shroud - Robot Sprits Ver. Anime

This suit is a real beauty! The armor snaps in tight and feels nice and secure. Articulation is quite good considering all the added bulk. Action poses are gonna be more limited, but you can still get this bad boy to look awesome. The cannon effect part can be a bit tricky and I’m disappointed that there are no missile effect parts. All in all, a great looking figure for your shelf, though it IS P-Bandai so the price might limit this to hardcore Duel Gundam fans.

Robot Spirits Strike Noir Gundam Ver. Anime

My favorite Strike variant! Very well designed figure with good possibility. The 2 extra beam rifles was a nice touch too! Big question: Will we see a Blu Duel and Verde Buster in this line?

Metal Robot Spirits Destiny Gundam Spec II w/Zeus Silhouette

While I love the idea of giving my favorite Gundam a big bunker busting cannon, the cannon feels a bit too heavy for the Destiny. The sub arm does not fit into the cannon as tightly as I would like. (Though that could just be just mine)

Everything else attached to the Destiny Spec II fits very nicely though and I’m impressed with how well the armor parts are designed.

All in all, posing is limited but it looks damn cool. However, the combined price of the Destiny Spec II and the Zeus silhouette is so steep I can only recommend to the most die hard Destiny fans like myself :)

Metal Robot Spirits Akatsuki Ver. Seed Freedom

I’m in LOVE with this shiny boi! It looks sooo good on the shelf. It’s understandably in the premium price range but worth it to me. Definitely a stand out or a center piece to anyone’s collection. 😍

Robot Spirits Buster Gundam Ver. Anime

Finally got my favorite Gundam from OG Seed and I’m quite pleased. The suit itself looks great with neat effect parts included. The only nitpicks I have is that the gun supports can make posing difficult sometimes and those cool effect parts might be a bit TOO long so if you want to use them in a display you absolutely need an action base. Regardless, I’m too busy loving how cool this guy looks on my shelf. ☺️

Metal Robot Spirits Destiny Gundam Spec II

I was so hyped to see my favorite Gundam in action again with the release of the movie. With everything on the suit you’d think it would be a frail figure but it’s actually pretty sturdy. Articulation is great! I LOVE the new rifle. P-Bandai means the price range might be too steep for most buyers but I just couldn’t say no to this beauty.

Hyper Combat Unit DanGaiOh

I really wish this awesome OVA would get a proper US release.

Robot Spirits Duel Gundam Ver. Anime

With so many outstanding MS designs in Gundam Seed,I feel like It’s easy to overlook the Duel Gundam. I love this very straight forward and melee focused suit so much. The design is solid, the color scheme is SO good, and it’s totally believable that this is the early blueprint for all the other Gatx machines that followed it.

This Robot Spirits Ver. Anime really gives me all I could ask for in a Duel Gundam figure. (And more) Great range of motion, extra weapons, and really cool effect parts make me eager to check out what the other Seed Robot Spirits figures have to offer. Bandai is about to put my wallet in the emergency room hehehe 😅

DX Chogokin YF-19

I don’t know much about Macross. But what I do know is that Macross Plus is amazing and the YF-19 is easily my favorite mecha from the franchise.

Never had any experience with this line of die cast figures and was surprised how big it actually is. Definitely makes for a display piece that stands out and grab attention. Unfortunately, I had a real hard time with the transformation between the different battle modes. Not sure if all the figures in this line are like this. My advice is to chose which mode you like the best and leave it that way. At the price, I can’t say I recommend something that gave me such a hard time unless you’re a big Macross fan.

Metal Robot Spirits Gundam Kimaris Vidar

I couldn’t resist temptation and got this bad boy not long ago. Right away, I really love the shade of purple of this mold! It feels more anime accurate where the HG looks a bit too close to blue. The joints are pretty stiff so he can hold any action poses quite well. The shoulder shields have an amazing range of motion which actually went beyond my expectations! The only downside I can see at the moment is the weight and size of the drill lance. It absolutely needs the dedicated stand that came with the suit for the lance. The dainsleif loader is a very nice touch and a neat extra detail. Honestly I prefer to display this bad boy wielding his more practical sword. All and all, a very nice display piece.

Of course I HAD to get the effect part set for this bad boy!

RX-79 G Gundam Ground Type

Robot Sprits Ver. Anime

The old North American MSIA version of this mobile suit was one of, if not my favorite MSIA as a kid so getting my hands on one of these was a very surreal feeling. It’s really cool to see how far these figures have come! The name of the game is detail and this suit has it even in the smallest places. It’s the little things in life. From the backpack actually being able to hold the weapon container to the beam saber storage actually being a moving part on the calf! (Which I did not expect them to pull off) My only downside is it not coming with the piece to store the shield on its back. That aside this is a really nice addition to my shelf. It’s good to see you again old friend :)
