Robot Spirits
AKA Robot Damashii. A line of toys produced by Bandai of Japan and launched in 2008.[1] Just like SH Figuarts, it focuses mostly on quality of sculpt, pose-ability and accessory count. Accessories can include:
- Spare hands
- Weapons unique to the toy
- Stands
The difference of this and SH Figuarts is it mostly focuses on Real Robots (however, there's some exceptions: Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru's Ryuujinmaru, Star Driver's Tauburn, Doraemon's Zanda Cross and Doraemon himself, Gun X Sword's Armors, and the EVA Units).
Compare Super Robot Chogokin, which is Robot Spirits meets Soul of Chogokin.
