i guess the Buster made sense because its basically the Strike but with a huge cannon and some extra armour. The Dual has a lot of extra armour piece.
I wish they do Blitz or Aegis next but the design would be hard especially if Aegis can tranform

I Think they will, the question is, when?
See, third party company, like Mo Show/Poison has to keep low profile to maintain their existence. Idk how many robots they manage to sell, but if it's come in a large number, Bandai surely will wipe them up (again) in no time. LOL
For next release (if ever happen, we don't know), Duel Gundam is more likely. Many parts from previous production, like shield from Strike and head part from Buster (only need minor adjusment) could be used for Duel.
Why Moshow release Buster instead of better candidates out there? I'm curious... At first, I think Mo Show plan to release all of SEED series. First, they launch Strike, because this is the main MS use by protagonist. As a new player, u have to introduce your company in a big way. Launching Aile Strike Gundam is one of it. LOL
And then, they release Buster. why? Well, I think Buster is more popular than Duel and easier to build than Blitz.

Don't forget the 1/100 QanT that came out in-between the two others, which was another great figure, and was out almost a year before the official MB QanT

Got Hurricane (Buster) in hand and it is a beast. Diecast feet and inner frame. Outer armor is all plastic. Initial impressions- I feel it has great shelf presence. the orange parts really pop and draw your eye. Tampos are sharp and crisp and all the paint details are pretty flawless. No paint scratch scuff issues of first run batch. The diecast arms that hold the weapons are super tight. I'm okay with that as long as they don't become loose with use. My nitpick would be, I wish it had more moving panels and thrusters, like the ones on the backpack and behind the lower legs. Also wish the missiles in the knees had color separation like the shoulders. As it is now, just a block of orange. There are parts designed to look like hinges but actually do not move. It's quite impressive for $160. If it came from Bandai would be no less than $300. Hurricane - 26.5cm / 1381g Some size/weight comparisons: GX-71 Voltron - 28cm / 1415g GX-40 Godmars - 27cm / 1135g GX-13R Dancouga - 26.5cm / 1164g Weijiang MPP10 - 31.5cm / 818g Now I have to buy some AG4 batteries. I just received my Buster and they do include a small sheet of decals to cover that area around the missiles so it does not look like a block of orange lego.

So for you guys who've gotten this... how badly does it stick out in a 1/100 collection? Its much bigger so itll be noticeable no matter where you put it. So its best to place these on a different shelf, level , etc. Attachment Deleted

I didn't consider the scale to be an issue when I got the Strike. I was just impressed with the quality for the price, where most of the Bandai MBs were going for $300+ while the Moshow Strike was only $150 at the time.

Anyone familiar with Chinese 3rd party Manufacturer Metal Heart? They release Metal Build Blue Destiny (looks like EFF standard MS) 1/100 scale, complete with LED and accessories. They already launch their finished prototype, so I assume it will release soon.

Doesn't look like Metal Heart is much of a useful search term to find more about it

Thanks for the update F360, GetterBoi. This release is a bit unexpected. One thing bother me, though. This 3rd party Blue Destiny has LED lamp for their eyes, why Bandai didn't do the same?

I'm still debating if I should sell the Moshow Strike. There's currently only one listed on ebay for $695 or best offer. I'm thinking I could probably get $400 for it.
