>>5991903Oh man, Alphonse is looking so dang great. Thanks for the pics/link, anon.
>>5992015Gorgeous!
>>5993799>>5993851It's important to note that there's only been one Metal Damashii released (the Hi-Nu), and that was almost two years ago (dang, can't believe it was that long ago, haha). So it's tough to give a definitive verdict on the line when there's so few releases to judge.
As anon said, the Metal Hi-Nu was basically the regular RD with added metal parts and paint/tampo detail, but it was nearly twice the MSRP at around 10,000JPY. I know there were a couple anons who bought it and as far as I can recall they were happy with it, no complaints that I recall, but there really wasn't very much discussion about it as most folks went for the standard RD Hi-Nu (which is what I did, hehe).
The second Metal Damashii is going to be Ex-S, releasing Nov. 19th. There will not be a standard RD Ex-S, so this is going to be the first real test of the Metal Damashii line on its own. It's looking pretty dang awesome though, and preorders are all sold out.
Check it out!
