KO MB red and blue astray

[innorous]

Another KO Chinese bootleg MB Red and Blue Astray XD

Are these the Fire Dragon releases or another company? I cannot tell by the box as it has absolutely no info about who manufactured it.

[seanami]

different, hopefully better, fire dragon was kind of cheap feeling

This is not Fire Dragon release. It's another Chinese Company.

If they're coming out with an affordable Powered Red kit, I'll take it.

I'm hoping that some third party company takes the Tactical Arms from the Red Frame and make all of the necessary changes to release a Metal Build Blue Frame Second L, since apparently Bandai is taking their sweet sweet time with it.

I hope Bandai takes advantage this 00 series festival to create the GN Sword IV option set for their MB 00Q. Would be insta buy for me.

BUT maybe yours will get realized soon, because I heard Japan loves Astray.

does anyone have good taobao sellers they go with for these? seem much cheaper buying there than through gundamcentral

Another review. This guy tells you how to spot the difference between Bandai versus KO.
Basically face is very obvious. The KO version looks like this: beautyeditor.ca/.image/t_share/MTIzMDQ5NjY0ODQ2MDcxMzA4/how-to-hide-crying.jpg

bad image link i think

The face difference at 2:10

How much is it tho...is it any good?

The reviewer says the feel and the materials are very similar to Bandai, but-

At 2:20, reviewer points out nub marks are more evident on the KO compared to Bandai.

At 10:34 the reviewer points out some other issues:
- (Red) Ankle joints seem loose, figure will easily tilt forward
- (Blue) Missile pack joint is floppy
- (Blue) Upper torso joint is very loose

Personally, I already have both Bandai MB Astray Gold, Red, and Blue, so I'm not looking to get the figures. If they ever make a Powered Red Set though...

It's about 80 USD

Not the right thread

So are the Valkyrie Factory red and blue frames on Show Z Store the ones in that video review above?
