Formania RX-93 Nu-Gundam

Formania line RX-93 Nu Gundam, from Bandai giant toys manufacture brought us a  master piece collection where my wife will agreed this is not a toy but a collectibles which can stand proudly in my display cabinet & admire by visitors even they are not into Gundam/Animation. There are a few quote from the box:-

"In order to oppose Char Aznable, the reviver of the NEO Zeon armada, the hero of the one-year war, Capt. Amuro Ray created a Gundam that could only be used by NEW TYPE. With a cockpit area constructed of new metallic substance Psycommu, the ultimate Mobile Suite in U.C. 0093 is created"

"Formania is an entirely new collectors line of display models that will place an emphasis on form, design, and detail, bringing with it an all-new aesthetic. Comprised of ABS, PVC and metal composite materials to emphasize realism, Formania aims to become a new sensation that will attract attention regardless of interest level in the character portrayed, promising to stand alone as a timeless work of art."

"With a mechanical design that represents a merger of the Gundam world and reality, the fade-out from the mobile suit bust to the mechanical frame stand portrays a finished look that is both superbly real and expressionistic"

Does Bandai fulfill their promise as per statement printed over the box? Let's the tour began.....

With SRP of 12,000 Yen, released on March 2010 (I know is a bit late for review...) & weight 941g in box. Cheat you not, this fellow is in very hot demand where secondary market price has shot up to triple of his original SRP.

Open box we can see the instruction/introduction manual put on top of the styrofoam box which protecting the contents inside.

In the package, there are Nu-Gundam Bust, two (2) maintenance crews, cockpit platform, two shoulder bars & one (1) shoulder armor. Both shoulder armors can be detach to show the inner details of shoulder joints & it is fairly easy to fix them back. He weight 475g with both shoulder armors fix on.

Some random close up shots (breath taking of finest details brought out in the Formania line)....

Movements or gimmicks....

Minor assembling of platform to cockpit & diorama of maintenance crews...

Diorama shots (It just wonderful, my lousy photography can't fully draw out his finest)...

Yes. I mean he worth the price as an definite eye candy & Bandai has fulfill their promise bringing out the finest details ever. I know he doesn't really quite stand out from my photograph but in the hand of a master I strongly believe the picture will be breath taking. I just can't stop looking at each & every details Bandai poured in to him. Truly precise in design & sculpt with dynamic artistic expression....
