Bandai action figure Gunpla ROBOT魂 Spirits <SIDE MS> RMS-099 Rick Dias ver. ANIME Review

The design of the Rick Dias ver. A.N.I.M.E. is the same as the Quattro model. Similar to the previous version, it is closer to the anime appearance, with a blue-toned color scheme that aligns more with the show's depiction.


Head Design

The head sculpt, like the Quattro model, is slightly larger than the old version, giving it a more anime-accurate look. The mono-eye is metallic green, matching the Quattro model, and features a distinct cross-line that enhances its appearance. The Vulcan Phalanx can also be deployed as it is.


Body and Colors

The body sculpt remains identical to the Quattro model, but the color scheme, with dark brown and blue-gray tones, is closer to the anime version. The arms, legs, and waist also remain unchanged. The absence of holes in the shoulders is preferred, and the different coloring makes them less noticeable compared to the Quattro model.


Backpack and Accessories

The backpack and binder retain their original articulation and detachment gimmicks. The accessories have undergone minor changes.


Full Equipment Mode

  • Clay Bazooka: The same model as the Quattro version, with the magazine's detachable gimmick remaining unchanged.  
  • New Effects: An effect part that was not included with the Quattro version is provided. The new sculpt and realistic paint job enhance the visual appeal. It can also be mounted on the backpack.  
  • Beam Pistol: While the Quattro version included an effect part for this weapon, it is absent in this version.  
  • Vernier Effects (Cone): Newly sculpted parts can be attached to the shoulder holes.  
  • Vernier Effects (Connected): New sculpted parts intended for use on the legs. The two parts can be connected or separated and used while maintaining stable ground contact. The standard Vernier effects from the Quattro version are not included.


Differences from the Quattro Model

The only difference between the two models is the color. While the old version was called the initial production model, this new release is named only as Rick Dias, without any additional attachments.


Improvements Over the Old Version

As with the Quattro version, this model has a slight size increase over the previous release. The coloring is more vivid, with an overall blue hue.


Articulation and Playability

Since the sculpt is identical, the articulation remains unchanged from the Quattro model. The pull-out ankle mechanism ensures excellent ground contact. Both the body and weapons are the same, but the newly designed effects offer different ways to play.


Effect Parts

The newly sculpted effects are very realistic, with the colors and shapes of the smoke being particularly impressive. The model also includes the Quattro version's Vernier effects, adding versatility from the back. The beam saber blades are yellow, unlike the Quattro version. The Vulcan Phalanx gimmicks are the same, and all the new effect parts included with this model can also be used with the Quattro version.


Summary

This concludes the review of the ROBOT Spirits Rick Dias ver. A.N.I.M.E. The body sculpt is identical to the Quattro model, with the only differences being in the coloring. Therefore, the articulation and gimmicks are the same as the Quattro version. The new coloring is closer to the anime depiction than the older version, and while the body and armaments remain the same, the different effects offer new ways to enjoy the model. The Quattro version may be more prominent due to its significant role in the show, but the color scheme of this model is equally impressive, making it highly recommended to display both together for an enhanced visual impact.
