1 | Launched in 2008, Robot Spirits (also known as Robot Damashii) is a line of HumongousMecha action figures produced by Bandai of Japan. Borrowing the design philosophy of their proven Toys/SHFiguarts line, Robot Spirits uses computer-aided design to produce high quality figures of mecha from popular anime series. The line is divided into different "Sides", each named for [[AMechByAnyOtherName the respective show's name for their mecha]] and focuses primarily on RealRobotGenre series, with a few rare exceptions. |

103 | !! Tropes specific to this toyline: |
104 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: The FA-78-2 Heavy Gundam in the line features detachable armor much like the FA-78-1 Full Armor Gundam. In the MSV concept, the Heavy Gundam ditched the armor detachment gimmick to save on money and control its weight. |
105 | * AnArmAndALeg: The figures feature detachable limbs but the A.N.I.M.E. line feature battle damage parts to replicate famous dismemberments in the home series. |
106 | ** From ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' there's the Gouf, Char's Gelgoog, the Zeong, and the Gundam itself (though only the Final Battle version). |
107 | ** From ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'' there's the Zaku II FZ, and the Gundam NT-1 "Alex" itself (Through only in the standard release) |
108 | * {{Fingore}}: The Gundam Alex features battle damage parts to do the scene where its hand is mangled by the Zaku's heat-hawk in the climax of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'' and it loses some fingers. Though the premium Bandai release with the Chobham armor removes those battle damage parts. |
109 | * NoExportForYou: Tamashii Web Exclusive ones, including the Tamashii Nation Expo exclusive sets. |
110 | * RealRobotGenre: Robot Spirits cover this genre of anime mecha. |
111 | * SpiritualSuccessor: to the Mobile Suit in Action! and In Action! Offshoot lines. |
112 | * UnitsNotToScale: The line is pretty inconsistent with this. |
113 | ** On the one hand, the Gawain towers over the other Knightmare Frames (which is accurate to the show); on the other hand, the line includes a figure of Bonta-kun (a theme park mascot costume turned into Powered Armor), which can rub shoulders with mecha several times its height. |
