Gundam 00: Robot Soul OO Gundam Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Please note that is an action figure, not a model. Thus, it comes fully pre built and pre painted. Laying down, its about the size of a person's hand.
The thing that I've found to be incredibly outstanding about this figure is its customizability. The way it is built, many parts are are snapped on, instead of build on solidly. This means more things are movable, and more things can be taken off. A couple things you might not expect to be removable, but are:
-The GN Drives (the backpack holding them can be taken off, than they can be detached from it)
-The shoulder plates
-The feet
Now, let me talk about this "Robot Soul" business a bit. It seems to me Robot Soul is the successor to the MSIA line of toys. I grabbed my MSIA Exia to make a comparison. First of all, the colors on 00 were much more vibrant and contrasting than they were on Exia. Compared to its Twin Drive cousin, Exia's paint scheme looked rather washed out. 00 is also about a head taller than Exia. In other words, its about .5-1cm bigger. While it was able to hold most of Exia's equipment (didn't test the GN Sword/Rifle), 00's larger hands made for a loose fit.
This figure comes with two beam sabers and their hilts, a shield, 5 different hands, and two GN Sword II's. The shield is pretty cool. It can be broken into two halves, which can then be either mounted on each wrist, or on the GN Drives. The two halves can also be combined back into the shield and mounted on either wrist, but I think its a bit unwieldy.
As expected, the GN Drives are fully movable, and each can swivel 180 degrees, either pointing to the front, back, or side. They can also point up and down. The legs and feet are also really nice. The feat can lean side to side and "bend" for crouching or running. The legs move rather well too, with two knee joints. The arms are well posable as well, but the hands are little stiff, though they can of course rotate a full 360 degrees.
Lastly the GN Sword II's are slightly disappointing, as you have to swap out handles to change between rifle and sword mode.
This is an excellent action figure for anyone who's a fan of the 00 Gundam and cant be bothered to build a model. I recommend it, and also recommend that potential buyers consider also importing the Robot Souls O-Riser, which can combine with this figure to form 00-Riser!

Bandai's Robot Damashii toy line brings to the hobby industry a new standard in robot figures, using the latest in 3D technology in designing the figures, skilled craftsmanship to bring out the sharp details, and a composition of plastic materials ABS, POM, and PVC to produce extremely flexible mecha. Launching the toy line is none other than 00 Gundam, from the second season of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00," as a fully poseable action figure! The 12cm figure comes equipped with a pair of GN Sword II that can switch to GN Rifle Mode, a GN Shield that can be separated into two to attach to each of its GN Drives, and a GN Beam Saber. Optional hands are provided as well.
