*ahem* Zaku and USA Gundam Store... Love you guys, but dear viewers, if you can find it, GET THE DABAN MG VERSION. It's awesome, and comes *with* the 150 meter sword (hilt anyhow) and, oh yeah, is also like 90$

the literal heavyarms

I wouldn't imagine how they would hold the arm if this was an MG

that's trippy, he has an actual moving bicep 😂

Gonna get this definitely

The detail and textures on this kit are amazing. Question: If anyone has customized a kit like this, do you leave the metallic coated parts as is or just repaint the whole thing?

Repaint because nubs.

this is gundam, its so cool im saving money, because i intend to make it my first gundam figure

Still surprised this is a full release

That's a sick boi

Still wonder when will they make a 150 Gerbera Straight kit, I don't think they'll make it to be a regular reease so a P-Bandai would be normal for that weapon.

Nice

would you be able to kitbash it with other hi-res? like the astray noir?

I would love the hi res astray but the PG is so close to the price of this thing so I can't justify getting this. Looks great though!

This happened to me literally. Was saving up for a HIRM Astray Noir. But when I had enough money, I procrastinated and ended up getting a PG GP01. The price difference is just too close.

layered injection is such a fascinating molding tech like wow you really gotta take into account a lot of factors to make sure everything come together. Out of curiousity, anything in kitbashing is generally free game but are HiRM usually left alone due to price and quality?

Everything is fair game for kitbashing if you have enough experience, but for average collectors like you and me, you definitely don't want to fool around with that +$200 figure kit.

if they made a 1/100 scale 150 meters katana Bandai would probably release it under their Proplica line in the same manner as the Demon Slayer sword replicas, lol.

😎👍🏼

Does the pre-assembled frame hold up or does it get loose over time?

@PaszerDye

The only reason they would loosen over time is because you put them on a special jig that rotates the joints 360° for 5 days straight or change its pose into every pose imaginable everyday a couple of years. The HiRM Astray Red and all its derivatives are sturdy as fuck, arguably the best of the HiRM line so far, and are the easiest to recommend. If you ever only ever plan to get 1 HiRM kit, or just 1 expensive kit, you can't go wrong with the Astray Red.

that arm would look sexy on a Megami Device.

No not anymore. We had to discontinue the codes due to rising shipping costs

big arms

It looks like a kitsch chinese restaurant

Contrary to popular belief of how complicated this kit innerframe is, this kit innerframe is very very simple. I disambled both of the arm HIRM astray noir , it very simple compared to mg nu gundam verka, or mg gm sniper 2. I keep wondering why bandai make HIRM this expensive. It just not worth it

This is *new* from Bandai and being a part of the HIRM line it has the preassembled plastic frame, Daban did their version of this a while back, but it didn't have a preassembled inner frame, it was in the style of a classic MG 1/100 release.

The HiRM Redframe was 1st released in 2018. Also, Zaku is mistaken. The gerbera straight that comes with the Power Red isn't new. It came with the 2018 HiRM Astray.

Wait, in the story the shoulder pad is supposed to be able to open up, the HiRM doesn't?

the barbatos hi-res is trash

It’s sold out on your store already :/

HiRM has yet to bring out any suits that have really caught my attention. Big dumb Super-Robo arms didn’t help. Maybe something like a fully transforming Zeta Gundam Hummingbird or a G-Self

I think Bandai's lost it's mind . 200$ for this?!! Wtf?! Zd toys is putting out far superior stuff, with lightning for a third the price. The war machine takes a crap on this this one if I had to choose. Greedy ,lazy and avarice is the only way I can describe what I think of my favorite company at this point.👎

The retail price is actually ¥16000 or $120 USD, not $200. So, whatever store you looked it up at is selling at scalper level prices.

omg please stop winging around the model kits in the intros
