I got Barbatos Lupus & Rex , Bael , Vidar, and Kimaris Vidar. Are they expensive. Yes, do they hurt my wallet, yes! , do they have problems kinda ! Are they beautiful - absofuckinglutely. Your criticism is on point and somewhat fair. All items have quality issues but its not that bad. Unless u gonna complaint about every single aspect, then go for it. The metal build have issues as well. They cost even more.
Thanks for commenting! Yeah, there's no denying that the Metal Robot Damashii line of Gundam IBO has some fantastic looking designs. And to be fair, the Lupus Rex was the very first, so that's likely why it's a bit janky. I have heard of good things about Vidar, Lupus, and Kimaris Vidar. Hopefully, I'll manage to get one of those for a good price.
Welp guess I'm not getting it. Was having a lot higher expectations for this figure due to the pricing. Sucks that there's no proper metal builds for Barbatos. I prefer the original color scheme over the limited tbh. Is the articulation on the original variant quite bad? Anyways, great video!
Thanks for the compliment! The articulation on the original variant should be the same as this one. Just expect that the joints on the OG variant will be a bit looser than this one. The original variant should be a bit more affordable if you're still interested in the design of the figure. Check this video out if you want to know how to tighten the joints (it's in Japanese sadly but I think you'll get the gist, you need to use liquitex varnish to tighten the ball joints and if you can't remove the joints try to use warm water): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6keKUCt6avU.html
