Ok so making a new thread for this mostly because the design was put under a new branding and it will effect people trying to search for it under Metal Saga. Again, it's now Sculpt Labs. Got it in hand today along with the MKII upgrade set and I'd read the horror stories of the first release and I have to say this really is an improvement it seems. The joints and overall quality are great and literally the only qualm I have is the Mk II backpack not fitting tightly to the adapter piece for the flight mode. Here are a few quick, in-hand shots of it.

Would like to see more photos. Does that make the flight pack wobbly when attached?

I'll take more pictures when my photo table is back up and running. Flight pack attaches to the bot fine; The adapter that attaches it to the weapons is what's molded too wide at the hole. Easy fix when I get time.

Video review says the hip joints are tight, but leg wobbles with some kind of fitting issue. Does yours do that?

Video review says the hip joints are tight, but leg wobbles with some kind of fitting issue. Does yours do that? Some Chinese reviewers are known to be overly critical. Loose fitting parts, parts that fall off upon handling(as seen in funhobby mb blue destiny); those are true fitting issues. Toy wobbles slightly when u shake them? That's to be expected, imo. Just my 2 cents.

What I found interesting in this link instead is the KO SOC Voltron.

What I found interesting in this link instead is the KO SOC Voltron. yeah, they were all over the SOC voltron tread while back since you can't get the SOC voltron for near MSRP anymore. Beside the little stuff here and here, they changed the tail and lost of left/right tilting of the paws. not sure if they will add that back in for the yellow and blue lions.

Got mine today. All the joints are very tight and will need to be worked a little (ankles are scary tight). Looks like mine was put together while the paint wasn't fully dry in some places, there are a few plastic joints that were stuck and some paint residue that just rubbed off on a few areas of one arm. It absolutely looks stunning and the storage compartments in the base are a nice touch. Mine will probably never get the base head/shoulders/backpack put on again since those look like just a way to circumvent as a not-HuckMkII. Kinda wish there was a storage slot for the beam swords beyond the base backpack, though. And it'll also only get the single barrel for the G-Impact Cannon, since that's canon. Also kinda wish Sculpt Labs included the Shishioutou, but that's just esoteric nerdistry at this point.
