Recently we showed you official images of Robot Damashii SIDE MS Gundam Heavyarms but you are probably thinking…”wait..somethings missing…”. Yes Tamashii pulled a Robot Damashii Leo on us, as the parts one thought ought to come with Heavyarms are instead going to be sold in an option parts set. This set also comes with parts for the Robot Damashii SIDE MS Gundam Sandrock. If you want to recreate the duel between Heavyarms(piloted by Heero), and Tallgeese, you need this set. This set comes via the Tamashii Webshop, no word at the moment if Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA will bring this over. Pre-orders go live on March 4th, with a scheduled release date of July 2013. Cost is 2,310 yen. Parts included are the following:
- Heat Shotel blade(un-ignited) x 2
- Beam saber x 1
- Jetpack x 1
- Single cannon x 1
- Swappable skirt armor
- Other Swappable parts
Due out June 2013.
It was only a matter of time,but it should have come out a hell of a lot sooner.
Cool. Heavyarms and Epyon were always my favorites.
FINALLY! I've waited too long for him and deathscythe. They should have came out long before those army builders.
Praise Thor! Gonna preorder the heck out of this. Can't wait for Deathscythe to be announced. Just got Sandrock the other day.
holy shit i am soooo stoked for this!!!
You folks should also get the Tallgeese I, damned thing's incredible.
Also, they announced a sandrock and heavyarms add on pack. IT's essentially a downgrade kit, and the beamsaber combo thing Heero had in the fight with Tallgeese.

Sandrock already comes with everything you could possibly need to go with the suit except for the Maganac Corps. Would be funny if they tried to do something like that. The Leo option pack is annoying enough.
daaaaamn. that looks crazy good. im into the import figures now so i might have to grab this one. i see talk here of Deathscythe, any info on if he's even being made?
I just hope Heavyarms comes with the single gatling version of his gun.
Looks good but except for the opening pods I don't see it being able to do anything for me my msia figure can't do.

I saw a scan of that and was hoping I was just seeing things....bad move on Bandai for that AND the Leo option parts. Ridiculous actually. Way to milk the molds and come off as money-hungry Bandai..
Sorry for the double post. But I can't actually delete my posts.
Incoming.
It's really just miniscule packpacks, weapons, and panel changes. Things you barely noticed in the anime. Some people were complaining about it NOT being the Kai versions that got shot into space. Truth be told, it wouldn't have been as bad if they'd included the beam on the regular heavyarms. Apparently they did this because releasing a version one mold wouldn't make any sense, as they're so similar.
Nah, it's an okay idea, seeing as they might be exclusive, if not, it's no big deal. I know I'd only want it for the beam saber parts. Although the Heavyarms comes with two dual machineguns.
No I'm not. This is different in a number ways but not surprising, just annoying. There are a few people that will want those extra panels and them making it available is a good thing. Including two double-barrel guns with the mobile suit and not one of each is what's confusing. It doesn't save them any money or help keep the price down, like on the Leo, but I assume they are hoping it will sell options packs.
As far as only the EW version having dual cannons, I forgot but the MSiA! back in the day came with both single and dual cannons.
Knowing how Tamashii is I bet when they make the EW Heavyarms Custom the bad ass half mask it had in the anime will come in a separate option parts set with some minimalistic stuff no one will care about aside from the mask.
Dude it's going to be over $10, to be honest I think we'll be lucky if it's even $20. Maybe Bluefin will be able to bring it over like they did with 1 of the Leo option sets(and really, making an option set for that instead of just including the parts with the barebones leo was irritating too).

It's still annoying nonetheless.
And as far as not releasing the option sets, they did that to keep the price down so you could army build them. Not exactly collector friendly if every leo costs 60+ to army build, right? I would've liked them to have a swivel head, but Leos are mostly supposed to have no neck. Only some models did, and even then it wasn't always there.
As far as if they release Heavyarms custom, relax, it'd probably come with the alt head. Look at Tallgeese, the damned thing came with two beam sabers, a gun, an extra prototype head, and an extra gun. They didn't need to include any of those things, but they did.
I know they'll want more than $10 for it but it isn't actually worth more than that, in my opinion. Problem with there being imports is that it makes it hard to connect with people if you wanted to find someone that would split the pack with you.
I get the logic that EW Heavyarms had two guns (and no knife or shield) but this version never did. EW presented the designs as if that was always how the Gundams had always looked, not an upgrade but an overwrite. Maybe I'm just one of the few that doesn't like EW designs and that's why it urks me. They were just so intensely 90's on steroids.
On a side note how inefficient would the Heavyarms be in real life? Dude would be out ammo after 5 minutes every battle, but they would be the coolest 5 minutes of the battle. It sometimes surprised me that it got as much screen time as it did.

Suffice to say once I got into UC Gundam more afterwards, I realized that UC was a lot better. Some AC series are cool and Wing is overrated. I respect it for nostalgia and I was more into back in the day than now. IIRC one of the Ronin Warriors guys wrote the series so having 5 guys as main characters that also ended up appealing to female audiences was not surprising.
