Glad I had the HML made for it as opposed to spending that much.

Looking at more reviews I wished they would have found a way to cover the hinge in the chest. Looks way too much like a toy.

Yeah, that's disappointing for a Metal Build.  The MG Ver. Ka kit did a much better job with that hinge.

Wotafa’s review of the Zeta Gundam:

I wonder if we will get a Zeta Plus (red and blue creamsicle) from that mold.

I would also like to add that the Metal Build Zeta looks like a Transformer; what are you doing Bandai? 
 

 

Most likely the Zeta Amuro colorway. That's just a shield swap... maybe slightly different wing binder shape?

I would be down for Zplus C1 though kinda doubt it since the Ka Signature line has those so filled out.

Yeah, I would love a Zeta 3 variation

GFFMC RX-78-2 FRGMT available at the New York Tamashi Nations store for $360. Kinda steep.

Love how it looks, but i already have 2 GFFM RX-78 variants, can't justify another.....side glances at all the Hot Toys Stormtrooper variants behind me.

To help you forget how much you spent on a Metal Structure Sazabi:

[Scyla]

Besides the red Gundam 00 Seven Sword that never released and the other colors of the rainbow Gundam Astrays from Project Astray are there any other projects in the pipeline for the Metal Build line?

Shining, Phantom Gundam and Meteor were all teased at last year's summer fest and expo.

Also, the Impulse was unveiled at the 2023 expo.

Its hard to process what bandai does next. Remember the GN arms unit? They displayed it and it wasnt til 4-5 years later that we actually got one. 

Given they just created a mold and such for Burning Gundam I would not be surprised if we see Shining gundam first. It would be similar to what they have done withe Exia, Astray and Crossbone figures
