Today I received a blast from the past in the form of a figure I had wanted for almost the entirety of the last ten years: the RX-93 Nu Gundam from the Extended Mobile Suits in Action line (EMSiA or EMIA for short). From time to time I will get on here and lament how great these things were, and how the current Robot Damashii line just does not quite reach the standards set by this short-lived line.

THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS.








Behold. Notice the grit of the plastic, the panel lines, the weathering. How the white isn't "WHITE", but off by ever so slight a tone. The small details that make this figure burst with character and realism. There is a reason that, to me, EMSiA was the pinnacle of Gundam figures.
