That looks awesome!! Is it super heavy like the buster? Can’t wait to get mine I would say the body has about the same heft as the Buster but the wings are surprisingly light comparatively. The details are impressive and despite the different company name, it's definitely Moshow level quality. The wings and weapon clips have a habit of working their way out of their mount holes when you move them around so you'll be pegging them back in occasionally. They don't out right fall out so it's not a major issue. All the weapons are metal and very heavy, so even with the small peg in the hands, it really can't hold the swords. Something like blu tack will probably be needed. |

I want to fix the stand and get some blu tack first. It's really back heavy so I wouldn't be pleased with anything I end up doing without the stand, so I'm hoping to fix it in the next day or so. After that, I can run it thru some poses and attach the WOL and get some photos. Maybe something this weekend?

I preordered this beaut for December. It won’t stand without the support? Mine arrived last week whilst I was on holiday (ordered from TF Direct) and so only just opened this up last night. From my quick look I was very impressed! Similar in weight and and quality of finish as the other two 1/72 Moshows that I have. There are no problems with my figure in a normal standing pose with back weapons and wings attached (he is free-standing on my shelf at home currently!) - in general the joints are stiff and everything holds together quite nicely. Obviously a stand would be needed for more dynamic poses though. I do however agree with Jakcrow that the weapon/wing clips can work themselves free - it's not that they are too loose (they are actually quite stiff to insert), they just seem to work themselves out of the hole if you move them around too much. I think it is better to set in a pose and leave them be, rather than continually play with them. I also agree that the hands pegs are also a bit weedy to hold the swords (they are VERY heavy!) without some clever positioning. I have to say that the hands are lovely though - very detailed and look good in however you pose them (not usually the case with adjustable hands in my experience) - they look deadly with the claws! Paint application and detailing is good quality and very striking colour combinations - I haven't noticed any paint defects yet despite looking all over with a torch in hand. You can tell a lot of attention has been paid on the legs, with the moving piston and thrusters - I also really like the exposed metal on the knees and joints. If you are waiting for delivery, I don't think you will be disappointed when it arrives......  |

I ordered the blue LED, but it hasn't been sent yet. Curious to see this in combination with the light wings fixed!

Once they shipped it I received it in about a week. |

I have also not seen any issues with the paint job on mine. I would have liked it if the wings and weapon clips actually snapped into their mounts, but it's just a minor issue to deal with. I had actually been thinking of canceling the order till I saw the initial review on youtube, then I was really impressed. And someone was saying it was too overdesigned 😁 |

I wouldn't be surprised if 3P copied someone's art without giving credit. That whole T-Beast Transformer thing, for example. |

So I fixed the stand this weekend, but I have to say, having all the weapons being made of metal is a negative in this case. Because the figure is so heavy with everything on it, it can actually fall off the stand if you put the figure into a flying pose with the top joint tilted forward. The mounting socket on the figure will need something to tighten up the connection to prevent that from happening. For the weapons, while a little bit of blu tack lets the figure hold the small sword just fine, it's impossible for it to hold the large sword with one hand, but I'll try some 2 handed poses to see how that ends up working. The thumbs have a habit of popping off too. Also, the weight of the large sword and rail gun are what really pull the weapon clips out of their sockets while moving things. I think this is going definitely be one of those figures that's going to be more of a pose and leave it alone statue in the end.
More to follow...
