After getting a few of the Robot Spirits ANIME line I can say they are much better quality and engineering from 5 years ago. Based on the pictures it looks like the Gundam Universe line will be the new entry level action figures for kids. The ANIME releases have a plethora of option and effects parts for dioramas or scenes from the series. Those are more for teen and adult collectors.

Yeah, like General Rasp said it's aiming for kids. And one of the main big difference is already the size. They're 6 inches. I don't think it's going to replace nor rival the Robot Spirits line. This reminds me of some of the Banpresto Gundam figures before. There's limitation on some areas but it's more durable for playing for younger kids. And besides, Bandai's going to do what Bandai's going to do -- they will always keep on releasing new lines of the old figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Rasp Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 They remind me of the old MSIA line from the 90s. You could find those in US toy stores. Maybe we will see these in stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Aren't RDs around the 5-6" mark too? 12-15cm... That sounds about right. About the same size as 1/144 kits, maybe smaller, maybe bigger. Edit: gah, hit Post before I was finished. Anyway, is it 3000 yen per figure? If so, I'm not sure how it's supposed to distinguish itself from RD. Price is about the same, size is the same, apparently it will have fewer accessories than RD... Or am I vastly underestimating the price of RD? I want to say they're generally in the 2500-4000 range...

no3Ljm Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Or maybe it only has the basic accessories and not the whole shebang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say they're generally in the 2500-4000 range... rd's are more like 4-5" and 3500~6000JPY This are going to bigger but cheaper (so presumably simpler/less detailed/with fewer accessories).

no3Ljm Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) GFFMC RX78-02 Gundam [40th Anniversary Ver] I'll probably jump on this release since there's no assurance if the RX-78 will get released in Metal Build format.

F360 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This is base on The Origin ver, with different marking, so the posablilty is already pretty good. It also already have lots of diecast too. I'm sure they will include a DISPLAY stand this time, instead of just the BASE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the one from 2 years ago. It was a solid toy and fun to mess around with. I’ll probably buy this one too if there’s some difference. Anyone know if there is anything new or different for this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as par with a MB figure. Though I'm really not a big fan of this redesigned RX-78 (I do like the RX-78 redesign from MG kits OYW and Ver.3), and I don't have a Metal Build-esque Grandad Gundam so I'll settle with this one. 5 hours ago, F360 said: I already have the Origin ver and it’s awesome ,so depending on the price for the remarking and possible extras I just hope it's somewhere around Y10000+ and not Y15000+. 31 minutes ago, sumyumgoy said: You're not alone...had to resist grabbing the Eva but this RX-78 will be a tough one to pass up.

We can already know how it will compare to MB line since it’s already been released twice before . This is a 3rd release of this toy, but with new markings. I suspect there will not be any changes to the mold. Its a solid toy with excellent articulation, detailing, and gimmicks. I wouldn’t say it’s better than the MB line, but it’s definitely at the same level. It’s leagues better than everything else that came before it in the GFFMC line.
