Otherwise it's a pretty solid figure, sooo much better than the Wuming Noname version which was a sloppy mess. Some pics for comparison. Thanks for sharing. I am not sure which one is better and now I know though I kinda know MC would be better since they have a lot more experience making metal figure  |

I got my second half of the Sazabi along with the Poison Toys Kampfer yesterday, and I'm glad I opened the Sazabi first. If I had opened the Kampfer first, I probably would have thought the Sazabi was dogsh*t garbage because of the comparison, wheras in fact it's still quite a nice toy, just a bit looser and fiddlier than I would like. All of the opening panels are very neat and obviously a big part of the appeal, but it does mean that the metal content is pretty low as a result, and there's a lot of parts that creak and bend and flex rather than feeling particularly solid. There are big chunks of steel in there to give him weight, mostly in the torso and the thighs, and he's still a very lovely figure with a ton of printed detail and great color patterning that's right in line with the look of the Real Grades and Ver Ka MGs. The biggest annoyance is that the shoulders do suffer from some looseness that keeps him from being able to hold his arm up when he's got his shield mounted - it's something that I should be able to fix with some floor polish but it's still a small disappointment.  Damn, I was so sure about living a minimalist life and cancel the Sazabi PO, until I saw your post. Should I blame you? I think... yes. |

So the MB Red Pepper (aka. Shinanju) is on GMC now. It's $155 + $18 shipping to USA. Pretty steep for a 3rd party plus it is not even packaged well. It's a pretty much a pass for me, but I would like to hear from people here who bought it and see if it's worth the price.
Thanks in advance!

I just got my MC Freedom 2.0 in today. Thank god ShowZStore had it firmly wrapped inside the cardboard. The box was so soaked it was falling apart.
That being said I am also surprised at the stand joint. I believe you are just supposed to have it clip under the torso but it is highly unstable this way. Anyone else figure out this puzzle? Can’t find any pictures online of someone using the stand.

From my experience gloss paint takes painstaking patience and skill to have something moderately OK. Also like the Sinanju in the film lol. |

It definitely need a air brush and at least four different paint coating. So, i take it for you that it is well worth the money Review said the red paint is somewhat grainy, does it happen on yours? |

I haven't had a lot of time to check it out after work in the last couple days. Nice details, pretty metal heavy, but I haven't done much else with it yet. One negative I can find right away is the shoulder armor doesn't have the same posability of the shoulder armor of the MB Strike Freedom and Destiny. |

Nope no leds unfortunately but there are tons of kits out there and as you know there's a lot of room inside these models that working on them would be super easy. Here's a picture of the megasize RX-78 next to a Unicorn which made me want a RX-78 too.  |

One negative I can find right away is the shoulder armor doesn't have the same posability of the shoulder armor of the MB Strike Freedom and Destiny. Mostly positive so far, which is good. Is it a bit taller than the MB Strike Freedom? Kinda seems like that on the ShowZ photos but hard to verify. Looking forward to more of your feedback. |

I received the Metal Kingdom Aile Strike today. Other than some of the tampons markings being a bit lighter than the original's and even having a couple markings the original doesn't have, it is damn near identical and appears to have the same level of detail and quality as the original. There may be some minor differences in paint finish but just different, not worse. The die cast metal seems to have a shinier appearance than the original's but it also isn't a bad thing. Early product photos don't do it justice and if you didn't have it next to the Bandai figure, you'd probably never know it was a KO

I take that yours are all pretty solid? If it's really that solid I might consider getting it now because of all the future DLC drop for Strike Gundam XD |

If it's really that solid I might consider getting it now because of all the future DLC drop for Strike Gundam XD I'd say the left arm is a bit looser than the Bandai figure but not horribly so and the right arm is about the same as the original. The legs are nice and tight, more than the original's. |
