Recently got the Kshatriya from MC, I missed out on the Elyn kit years ago so I'm glad they cloned the kit but with a metal frame so its extremely sturdy and actually can be posed on the stand! I'm even thinking getting a 2nd one.

Be careful with the stand adapter. The one on mine is already showing stress cracks so I've applied a layer of super glue to it.

No problems with that so far, only issue I have is the left shoulder join is a little loose (the joint that goes to the part that holds the binders) so maybe I have to glue that in place. Its separate from the arms so the arms won't be hindered if I glue the joint.

What ever happened the the 3rd party freedom metal build that they released samples of and then scraped, radio silence since they said they were redoing some things I just saw Samuel Decal updating about this on his FB account, seems the revised version is getting close to release. Hopefully other channels will pick it up as I'm not a fan of SamuelDecal's shipping prices, but I really really love this version (WMNL) or Wuming of the Freedom based on the Infinite Dimension resin kit.

In the video he has brief comparison of the original batch and second batch. Still some minor issues, but depending on the price I may get it. Crappy hands though.

Yeah, the paint app on the detachable hands are really sloppy. Paint on certain areas easily scratch/chip as well. Some joint looseness on certain areas. Beam saber storage is loose on one side. I like how they implemented the increased joint mobility but it needs to be refined especially with some of it being loose. I wonder how bad the 1st release was compared to this. I just want a decent updated Freedom MB whether official or 3rd party but this seems to fall a bit short in terms of qc.

The Bandai MB Freedom is a bit too "anime, accurate" for me and it was before they really found their groove with MB aesthetics. There is the MC version to look forward too as well, I have that on preorder with ShowZ store and it's cheaper too at about 140 usd. It's just that I love the Infinite Dimension resin kit look... Hard to resist..

Hard to resist.. Ohmyprimus has it for around $116. They discounted it maybe because of the known qc issues. I like the faux core fighter. With the MC version, has the been any recent updates?

Not for a while. Probably will be solid knowing their track record.

Here's a better video showing comparisons of the old/new WMNL Freedom. Some minor improvements, but who knows if their overall QC has improved.

There are only a couple instances where I could see a difference without knowing Chinese. Hard to tell unless someone can translate

some of them are really great, tried buying the 1/48 scale and they feel & look legit. Strike Freedom 1/100 MGs are on the ok side as well but not that great.

The MC Freedom is supposed to be out in April. I think Ohmyprimus mistook the MC's Freedom from WMNL's. I brought that up to them before but I guess they haven't addressed the issue.

But Inask.info said Q2 2019. www.inask.net/blog-entry-1445.htmlThat's McShow. I believe the article says that whomever is releasing it may be playing off the MC and MoShow names. MoShow is currently using the Vientiane brand for its gundam stuff.
