Nu Gundam being the ever popular protagonist gundam, got another fancy treatment by Tamashii Nation. Nothing as flashy compared to Metal Structure or PG Unleashed but it is still a diecast nonetheless being a Metal Robot Spirits! Scheduled for January 2026 release, Metal Robot Spirits will be sold for 20000 Yen SRP.
I believe MRS Nu Gundam would be a superb product made by Bandai but the Price point is truly the point of contention here. Several years ago, Bandai released Metal Robot Spirits for Hi-Nu Gundam with 12000 Yen Price tag and when they demand 20000 Yen for less equipped Nu Gundam, the inflation cost is really apparent. To elaborate this point, back in the past 20000 Yen would have gotten you a Metal Build not a Metal Robot spirits. Nu Gundam probably fell on the larger side of Mobile Suits but 16cm partial Diecast action figure simply doesn't worth 20k Yen.
While I can't really completely blame Bandai on this department either, this sort of price would make it difficult for Overseas fans to consider getting one since you can get yourself 3 MG Nu ver Ka which are easily better value. At this rate I wouldn't surprised that China could come up with some substitute that came along with cheaper price tag in the future.
