Full Metal Panic! ARX-7 Arbalest Robot Tamashii Review
Sun 2009/10/11 19:43 JST
After years and years of waiting, fans of the Full Metal Panic! series have finally been blessed with a figure of the main Arm Slave piloted by protagonist Sagara Souske, the ARX7 Arbalest.
Affordable and exceedingly high quality, this is the figure that all fans of the series need to own in their collection.
I'm indeed glad that Bandai will be producing a whole series of figures in their Robot Tamashii line based on the Arm Slaves from the Full Metal Panic! series. Since the Code Geass line is coming to a close with the Gurne SEITEN and the Shen Hu, I know what I'll be moving on to.
Here's a question for figure fans on Figure.Fm. Do you like video reviews?
Pic taken with a Nikon D200.
Sweet, looks like it has very good articulations :D I will use your link to poison my friends.
preordered mine already,should come in another week or 2.was planning to buy the alter one but the price is just too overkill
didnt arbalest have a knife at its mouth?
Yes it does. I showed off all the accessories in the video review.
Wow didn't know it was released already. I'm torn between the Robot Tamashii version and the Revoltech one... I'm leaning towards Revoltech because I'm expecting insane articulation as with all its robot figures, and if Laevatein is anything to go by, it should also have a ton of accessories.
But the Revoltech one is only coming out in December, so bad timing for Kaiyodo.
Well, personally, I prefer the Robot Tamashii figures as the plastic quality is better. I also prefer the joint system as it's more Anime accurate and easier to pose. I recommend you pick this figure up and see for yourself if you prefer Tamashiis or Revoltechs.
Nice Review~~
I kinda like FMP mecha, dunno which one to choose too Damashii's or Revoltech >_< right now I dont have any action figure yet apart from gundam plamo kits.. this might be my first one... XD
I highly recommend the Tamashii figures over the Revoltech ones as simply have more detail in them and I personally prefer the quality of the material and joint system. While Revoltech figures are great in their own right, it's slightly sad that people won't know how good the Robot Tamashii figures are as Revoltech is more well known.
lol at the last pic. Does Kaname have a articulated figure?
Anyway, for your question, I prefer pictures over video reviews because it's quicker, but I will watch video reviews if I want more in-depth review of the figure.
There was indeed an articulated figure of Chidori and she is part of the 'Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu! Moving' Trading Figure line. I did do a review of her here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkTpsWW5Yo8
Well, I do prefer making video reviews as personally, it's easier to convey all the aspects of a figure.
I got this on pre-order!! It should be here soon :D
Actar Please carry on making your video reviews i found them great to watch.
Another very fantastic review.
Is FMP good?
I think I'm gonna start it,( yay for mech anime obsessions!)
Gonna get that too...i am a SRW fan ^|||^
