Oh wow, the Metal Build Eva-00 and Hi-Nu are beautiful!

They're also releasing a Figuarts Kira Yamato with flight chair? 

Be still my poor wallet...

What wallet? My paycheck is just direct deposit to Bandai now... 

[Cottonelle]

SAZAB! Finally! um.. when tho?

[Scyla]

Yes please to all the Metal Build Gundams, the EVA-00 and the Deathscythe.

The Hi-Nu looks stunning. I love the more angular design compared to the Ver Ka MG version.

I'm loving how crazy EVA-00 looks, I want it so much. and DEATHSCYTHE!!! my dreams come true.

[edit]

oh damn, and weapon accesory pack for the evas. I've been considering buying an eva 01 just to put the weapons on my 02, but this works too. (I feel like I should get eva 01 anyways).

The MB is more angular compared against the MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka.

The lower legs or shin armour is throwing me off, I feel like those should be more prominently flaring out.

Looks like the decals that came with the MG HWS Ver. Ka. Maybe a regular shield will come with the MB HWS?

I think I'm alone in this but I find the light blue on Unit 0 horrible. Why did they add this color, is it a reference to something I'm missing? I went from super hyped to just buy to complete the team. Even if they added all this blue they could've spared the damn chin. Sorry rant over. 

[sqidd]

Metal Structure Sazabi!!! I'm so in!!!

I hope they re-pop the NS NU too. I'd get one of those too. Man, people who paid way over retail for theirs would be bummed.

The MB NU looks cool.

The EVA-00 just doesn't look right to me.

All of the non cannon weapons and crap for the EVA's do nothing for me......

[CF18]

Made a comparison pic.  The Metal Build have the largest number of changes.

[no3Ljm]

I'm still planning on getting one. But the shield. 

Another thing I always wonder is that why they make the top of the head sensor area taller in Metal Build designs. I've always like the original profile head of Hi-Nu and Strike Freedom.

Nice!  

Can I request for a length measurement of the effect parts if that's ok? Thanks!

So you’re asking me for a “length measurement” of my “effect parts”??? I didn’t know this was that kind of forum lol.

the video posted here a couple pages back has the small saber effects at 7 inches and large saber between 12-13in . I haven’t opened it yet because I’m running errands but will confirm it later tonight.

First of all, never did I say 'your', hence your 'my' sentence. Hahaha!

I didn't know the sizes were already posted. Got so busy with these new stuff. But if you can confirm it when you can, that would be awesome.

The more I look at this he more I dislike the MB. the proportions are all off, especially the legs. The feet are just flat out too small and I want the giant cavernous jet intake calves of the MG.

I agree. I think it's an angular-refine-MB-take on Izubuchi's 2007 MG Hi-Nu design.

[Big s]

I think most people will not be displaying the hinu with the polka dot man shield.

That prototype Rick Dias looks really nice and may be the one out of the bunch most people ignore, but I really like it 

[anubis20]

Metal builds have gotten out of hand with the proportions. I liked what they were doing with the 00 stuff and the early SEED designs were not too bad.

Count me in the group of disappointed, I have been studying the images closer and those lower legs and feet just do not flow and look undersized compared with the rest of robot.

Unfortunate, but money saved I guess.

[68whiskey]

Ok here are the measurements of the effect parts included with the Full Particle Raiser.

in my household we don’t use Communist Meters , we measure with a system befitting back to back World War Champs.

Here are measurements in Inches instead of CM 

[100mega]

Does anyone know why extra shoulder pads are included with Unit 00 for the other units? They look identical to me.

[PsYcHoDyNaMiX]

I wonder if bandai deliberately made the MB Hi-Nu legs thinner in consideration for a possible HWS addon for the future. Because even the head and forearms look a bit un-proportioned to the rest. 🤔

it does look like they incorporated an ab crunch around the torso (where the cockpit hatch is).
