General Rasp Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Man that 10th Anniversary Exia price is bull$h!t. Why make the anniversary product so damn expensive? If that extra paint increased the price that much at least have a regular release with the normal colors and three different option sets. Honestly the special paint looks good, but it won't match the existing releases. I would rather have the Exia match the MB Avalanche and Seven Sword/G. I don't think the special paint is worth it. I do like the three different options were included, they should have done from the beginning. Bandai should re-release the 00 Raiser, plenty of people still want a copy and the second hand market is stupid expensive. I wasn't going to get the Metal Build Mazinger Z but then I saw the trailer for the new movie . So now I have to order the MB because the movie looks sweet and I will the figure after watching it.

Expect that it's going to be. 12 minutes ago, Sandman said: So what is the different between this metal robot release and the metal build? Metal Build is/or approximately 1/100 scale. Metal Robot Damashii on the other hand is an upgraded version of Robot Damashii line with diecast metal. And it's approximately/or 1/144 in scale.

The only thing I wish for is that hope that the overall proportion and sleekness will somehow match the previous RD Freedom just to go along with it. I wouldn't be surprised too if they will also make Infinite Justice next (or in the future). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beside the size difference the metal build line is a bit more premium than the smaller metal robot. Metal build is like a DX Chogokin Metal robot is like Hi metal R but with more diecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Hey guys! Just a quick question: which is more prone to yellowing, the GFFMC #1006 or the #1012? Unicorn Gundams? I passed on getting one of these before but am tempted to get one after seeing that aftermarket prices have gone down quite a bit. Which one would you recommend of the two versions? Thanks!

Thanks! I remember watching Charles' review video on those Unicorn Gundams. But I'm not sure if his #1012 yellowed overtime. This youtube video review was posted 2014. Hope it helps.

brouken Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks Noel! I watched that video yesterday already. That's what's got me to ask about the yellowing in the first place. Tried searching for feedback from other forums but wasn't able to get a clear answer. Anyway, I ended up ordering the #0012. Got inspired by the completion of the Gundam Unicorn Statue in Diver City.

But wait... you said #0012? That means you bought GFF Gundam MkII / Barzam instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Oops, missed the 1. I meant the #1012, hehe! I can only afford to get one right now. And Jungle had a sealed #1012 for a very good price. Cheaper than getting a B grade #1006 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 irc, these are not painted plastic. They can improve the plastic on later release, but it will still yellow since it is not painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's out of it's box and posed in one of my shelves. I keep checking it because I'm also familiar about the complaints of #1008, but so far so good. No direct sunlight though.
