REVIEW Metal Robot Spirits ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael, Premium Bandai

The following is a review of Metal Robot Spirits ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael, a Robot Damashii action figure released by Tamashii Nation Bandai based on the original model of the Mobile Suit Iron-Blooded Orphans.

Metal Robot Damashii ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael Review

Metal Robot Spirits ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael is an action figure that has the same design as the MS Unit anime Iron-Blooded Orphans ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael.

Head Unit

Faithfully reproduce the unique silhouette such as the wide antenna and long chin. The eyes are painted metallic as usual. The lines on the cheeks and the blue part are also carefully painted. Also from below. The tip of the chin is sharp, so it seemed better to be careful not to rub it.

Body Unit

Modeling with a balance closer to the image in the play than the setting image. There is a lot of white, but the texture is good because it is completely painted.

The body has a shape similar to Barbatos, and the abdomen is exposed to the frame like the others. The frame is almost die-cast like the others.

Arms Unit and Legs Unit

The limbs also have a shape similar to Barbatos. The form was beautiful and the details such as markings were just right and looked good. The thruster wing can be expanded widely by moving 4 places on each side.

Weaponry and Option set

In This Metal Roda Gundam Bael packaging has a set of dedicated pedestals. Bael Sword blade is painted metallic. A large size item that looks like perspective is also included.

Includes effects that can reproduce the scene of "Gather under Bael!" This is used by covering the tip of the blade. The sword mount joint is used by attaching it to the back of the waist.

This is movable in 3 places on the left and right. Only small swords can be mounted. Like Barbatos and Vidar, it also comes with an eye light effect. This time, instead of replacing the entire antenna, it was installed from above the antenna. The form of each part was quite similar to Barbatos, so it was a good idea for Lupus.

Movability and Articulation

The joints are the same as the iron-blood series so far, the movement is almost the same. The hardness of the joints was the highest ever. Since it has the same eye-light effect as before, a flashy display is possible.

The sword effect was suitable not only for reproducing the gathering scene but also for poses such as swinging up the sword. It was also nice that he attached a large sword with an emphasis on appearance.

Since the waist turns firmly, it is possible to swing the sword flashy. If you just turn it too much, the cylinder may come off. The weapon is only a sword, and the play value is a little lower than Barbatos and Vidar, but it seems to have been devised in various ways.

The movement of crossing the sword when defending can also be reproduced.　Although the appearance was late, the impression that there were quite a lot of battle scenes.

This effect may be interesting to use on other aircraft if the weapon size fits.

Summary

This is the review of METAL ROBOT Spirit Gundam Bael. The iron-blooded METAL ROBOT soul series that continues to appear constantly, but it seems that there are quite a few other than the main character, and this time McGillis last aircraft Gundam Bael is also on sale.

As with other iron-blooded MS's, the proportions of the finished product are reproduced, and since it is fully painted, the texture is good, the metallic paint and markings are also used effectively, it looks good, the movement is good and the effect etc. There are a lot of options, and the content is very satisfying.
