Bandai Action Figure Gunpla Die-cast METAL ROBOT SPIRIT魂 <SIDE MS> ZGMF-X191M2 ∞ Justice Gundam Type II Review

This review covers the METAL ROBOT Spirits Infinite Justice Gundam (Type II). With extensive redesigns, nearly all parts have been re-sculpted, making it feel like a completely new creation. The proportions and overall design maintain the familiar characteristics of the METAL ROBOT Spirits SEED series.

Design and Proportions

Full Body Without the backpack (Forantes), the figure stands solidly due to its die-cast construction, despite the bulk of the additional parts.

Head Sculpt A sleeker and simpler design compared to previous Justice Gundam iterations. The crest, Vulcan guns, and gray cheek panels contribute to a cleaner look. Metallic paint on the eyes and other precise paint applications enhance the detail.

Torso and Limbs

Chest Redesigned with simpler color schemes and shapes while maintaining a balanced physique. Arms and Legs Shoulder armor has a more three-dimensional appearance, and the legs have been reshaped to resemble the original Justice Gundam's sharp silhouette.

Markings The shoulder markings are asymmetrical, adding a touch of uniqueness.

Forantes Backpack

Wings Feature rotating bases and adjustable hinges for fine-tuned positioning. The wings can open and close vertically and horizontally for versatile display options. Beam Cannons Fully movable for dynamic posing.

Solo Display The backpack can function independently, with a movable nose section to represent its flight mode.

Modes The backpack wings can transform between "Gun Mode" (closed) and "Slasher Mode" (open), enhancing the display variety.

Articulation and Posing

Joints

Neck and waist have significantly improved swinging motion. Shoulders retain their high range of motion, though they can feel slightly restricted due to the bulk of the backpack.

Knees have a narrower range of motion than the original, but hips remain flexible for wide stances.

Waist can twist much further, allowing for dramatic SEED-style poses. Posing Freedom The revised articulation makes it easier to recreate dynamic stances.
