 Quick take on the Daban Wings of Light set. - First thing is that even though they're advertised as being compatible with the official Metal Build, it's not 100% in particular the part that plugs into the stand. The hexagon hole is cut at a different axis than the peg on the stand meaning that there's no way to plug it in straight up and down. I ended up dremeling out the hexagon shape on the adapter's hole which let me put it on straight but forfeited the exact fit that having the hexagon shape provided and automatic tightness that went along with it. The means how some balancing has to be done as it can begin to tilt one way or another if not. I'm guessing the stand that comes with the knockoff strike freedom has a different hexagon axis for the peg itself because there'd be no other reason for this. - The Wings themselves look alright, but they're a solid, thick plastic vs. the more thin and pliable style of the official making them a bit heavy. - The hold pieces for the funnels (the L shaped ones) don't peg in as tightly as they should into the adapter piece making the funnels begin to tilt downwards at times. Some polish can probably resolve this but I haven't had time to check. Overall it "gets the job done" but doesn't really do it well. Obviously the price difference between this and what the official Wings set go for is very much so in favor of this version but I feel I'll eventually buy the legitimate just because of the general quality. Personally I say take the 40-50 that this costs, put it aside, and start a saving towards the official set. |

I was thinking to grab daban's WOL too, but I am with you on this one! |

I have both the Bandai and MC (MuscleBear) Heine custom and they're pretty difficult to tell apart without picking them up, and the MC orange WoL are really impressive compared to the pink WoL. |

Does the MC Heine Custom have a decal on the right upper chest just like the Bandai one? |

I received the MC MB Soul Blue today. MC has completely abandoned the full product box of the previous releases and it came in two boxes with the plastic clam shells, and a 3rd box that is apparently from MC that includes a plastic tupperware type container with more parts. I haven't put it together yet, but one thing that annoys me like crazy is how it needs to be assembled unnecessarily. It doesn't include a WoL set but I already have 2 of them.

I think that they ship this kind of product by parts is to avoid piracy accusations. Don't forget they are violating patents there.

The best youtuber for someone like me, who likes gundam news but unfortunately can't understand chinese. This youtuber is a life saver, he reviews everything, especially KO products of lesser known brands, WITH english subtitle.
