Nice clip, numbninja! WOW, 30 cm in height? OK, I'm in! Not sure about the scale, but definitely not 1/100 as it says. LOL Steel Legends NZ-666 Kshatriya is huge!! It even bigger than My Aile Strike Mo Show. Honestly, I have mixed feeling about third party product after I saw those Steel Legends video. Sorry to say, but IMO, BANDAI certainly has a lot difficulties dealing with this 3rd party companies. In every aspect, they keep beating BANDAI at their own field. Thanx sir...it is also rumored that steel legend is moshow/poison/vientiane toys. so the quality should be top notch

It's 30cm to top of the binders, head should be around the 22 or 23cm area, which would indeed make it 1/100. Anyone notice the feet never lay flat to the surface? Even in not wide A-stance. Also of note, according to reviewer- -a lot of diecast
-display stand not included. -ankles do not swivel -the binder plug at the shoulders were tight initially, but felt fairly loose after a few detachments -the binder flap does not close tightly -the funnels have to be removed to open the binder flap, and it's not possible to put all the funnels in while open -a funnel has to be removed to extend the sub-arms -he noted midway that he would have preferred the sculpt to be bulkier and stockier as the line-art for Kshatriya |

I mean I guess you could always tighten it up with some floor polish or super glue, but they should have designed those connections to last longer. |

i am not convinced to buy this. It is too heavy and no stand, so you can just have it stand still. More like a desk art than figure  |

Another excellent Chinese review: Also, the previous Chinese reviewer made a quick update video, showing that he found the missing orange thruster, showed that the binders have additional parts that needed to be added out of the box and that the ankles have more range of motion as the leg armor can move out of the way to get better side to side range of motion. |

My only reservation with this figure is what another reviewer mentioned, which is they "streamlined" the proportions into a more typical Gundam. I've always liked that Kshatriya was this stocky little chubby thing.  I mean it doesn't look bad by any means, it just makes it look like less of a tank. Ironically I think of it as more Katoki-fied proportions (while the Kshatriya is indeed designed by Katoki). Kind of like they slapped Kshatriya armor on a Sinanju frame. Ah what the hell am I whining about. This is the only option for a product like this and I'm going to get one anyways. |

Any place going to offer these other than Show.Z Store and TFDirect? Price seems a bit steep and I am unfamiliar with reliability the SamuelDecal store which offers it at a lower base price, but comes pretty close after shipping.

Samuel is a straight up guy and very reliable, I have been buying kits from him since 2010. knolly: That is the main reason for me NOT to buy the MB version, the line-art is so different and the Kshatriya has to be bulky and wide, I won't buy a version that doesn't look like the Anime line-art. |

Yeah, I don't disagree. What annoys me the most is that now we've got two companies finishing up their Kshatriyas and neither captures the chunky proportions.  I'd say Steel Legend's proportions definitely is closer though... The arms are just a bit too small and the upper legs a bit too long. |
