    So you bought it? I did and I'm pretty disappointed in what I paid over a grand in not having the articulation of a perfect grade model.

    Personally if I wanted stuff that just looks nice static I'd invest into statues that look nicer static and wouldn't be disappinting functionally being static.

    yes I did, I am a little but at the same time I am not. After watching the whole review I totally understand the point they made. 

    The guy did mention two distinct point about bandai creating this with the mindset of limiting some of the articulation and wanted a feel of the classic old MG Nu kit that was release decades ago. One thing they did on the forearm is the spring that spring down when you bend the arm but they did not do that on the bicep. If they did that it would exceed the 90 degree, instead they made the effect of opening the bicep to get the '' unicorn '' like mode.

    For the leg is the thigh connecting to the hips it limited the movement lifting it up, there are two things, one it could be cause the detail it has with the detail '' plastic tube '' that it has connecting from thigh to hip, have to look the the part where the video show them lifting the skirt up. I think if bandai use something more spring like or allow it to slide it more to the side where it won't over stretch from the back so it gets the legs to raise higher and you can get the knee bending down pose. 

    other then that I think it is worth the price. I do not paint kits, so think of it you are paying for the person putting the effort to paint and custom from a PG kit. But even so you will not get the amount of die-cast and the weight and sturdiness from a PG. you custom a PG kit and put the LED can you really move around as much as this MS Nu ? I mean The kit you have to be even more careful to not scratch and to not break any piece as you make a pose. 

    this is just my opinion and to me I like it. 

    Hopefully their Future MS lineup can be better and take the consideration that fans want to articulate more just to get more amazing pose.

    There's been loads of videos and still images of the Metal Structure RX-93 Nu-Gundam, highlighting the gimmicks, features, opening hatches, LED lights etc, but almost nothing about the articulation, or perhaps lack thereof.

    I'd love to know what range of motion this thing is capable of? I think so far all we have seen is that the elbows can bend 90 degrees.

    I'm not expecting it to be super articulated, I do understand that the size, weight and gimmicks may be limiting factors to the amount of articulation that can be added.

    However, at the insane price they are asking, I'd expected at least strong ratcheted joints on the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with at least a 90 degree range of movement on the knees and elbows and hopefully close to that for hip front and rear range of motion.

    Hopefully this thing is not just a statue with only limited  movement in the arms.

     

     

    hopefully we get some detail review during the 12/14-12/16 period regarding what the Metal Structure can do -

    since the items that you are talking about will be  event only items, it will not be cheap to get a proxy to buy them for you.  Because since there is no preordering, they will have to go to the event first before knowing if they will be able to get it.   So if any proxy were to do it. you will most likely need  to pay them the travel time, the transportation cost, and any entry fee.   Which are most likely non refundable because that's what it will cost them just to get there to find out if your item is still available.    And the item cost which is the only cost that will be refunded if they can not get it.  

    If your item is available , they will buy it and bring it back to their warehouse, at which  you will then need to select and pay for the international shipping cost.

    If your item is not available, , you will only get the item cost refunded,.. all other cost was already used to go to the event. 

    So it can get pretty expensive 

     

    This is not the same as the event items that you can preorder and then pickup at event.   

    make sense which is why i was asking for ones that were going instead of ones that need to get out of the way just to attend. 

    just to save certain fees. I will also be checking YJA, pretty sure a bunch will go buy and resell back up on YJA--- flood the market and drop the price a bit lol

  4. Anyone that is attending the Tamashii Nation 2019, and can pick up a MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 00 - DOUBLE O RISER DESIGNER'S BLUE VER. TAMASHII NATION 2019 LIMITED

    or attending the C3 AFA convention , pick up the FFMC Wing EW ( only available during the event ) 

    please let me know your service.
