METAL ROBOT Spirits Gundam Kimaris Vidar Releasing this December



After being teased last week, Tamashii Nations has released more product information for the new ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris Vidar joining their METAL ROBOT Spirits line of high end mecha action figures. METAL ROBOT Spirits is a double name figure brand combining the elements of ROBOT Spirits with the Chogokin series to feature die-cast metal parts and joints.

ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris Vidar

Designed by mechanical designer Ippei Gyoubu, the ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris Vidar is piloted by Gaelio Bauduin in the 2016 second season of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans series. This Gundam-Frame mobile suit is the final evolution of Gaelio’s ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris. Along with adopting its predecessor’s name, ASW-G-XX Gundam Vidar, it retains its Alaya-Vijnana Type E, giving Gaelio all of the benefits of the system without the risk to his own brain.

The METAL ROBOT spirits Gundam Kimaris Vidar figure was sculpted under the supervision of Ippei Gyoubu to best capture the mobile suit as it appears in the series. Die-cast is used for the joints and other parts to give the figure a sense of weight. Along with weapon accessories, the figure will also include an eye-lighting effect and a gimmick to transform into a Dainsleif firing form.
