As we saw at Tamashii Nations recently, a Full Action Crossbone Gundam X2 is on the way. Released this September at 4,800 the figures looks to have had considerable work done on it compared to the original Robot Damashii release. The ABC mantle is noticeably absent however, though that might end up as an option set. Talking of option sets, the X1 Ka Kai we reviewed recently is getting an option set to match its setup as seen in the Skull Heart manga. In addition to the X2, we’re also getting a majestic God Gundam figure released at the same time and price. So it looks like September will be a costly month.
So is this a physically larger figure like the revised Unicorn RDs?
‘Cause I’d love it if they made “full-size” re-editions of the older, smaller RDs–like the Victory 2 and F91 in particular.
I think it is marginally larger but the focus is more on re-engineering the joints and articulation (as well as the overall sculpt quality).
Hm…. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the joints with the X-1, at least, and I imagine the X-2 had the same basic construction. Well, maybe the hip joint was a bit weak.
I have all three of the original RD Crossbone Gundams and the foot pivot is a bit wobbly and splays out if you’re not careful. They’re lovely little figures but the newer RDs have much better joints and a finer sculpt.
