Got one in mind that I should read?

Thanks for the top Lance. Do you mean to top coat islt in gloss before I use the enamel paints? Cause wiping with thinner would ruin the base coat no?

Not yet, hlj will have it I say

just got this guy... china version of a metal build... lol
Lucky i got him at a reasonable price... cuase he so fragile...
The QC on this guy is terrible... the first thing was that is left elbow was stuck and wouldn't move( it was glue from teh inside joint!! ) .. and then trying to fit adaptor for the stand too his Ass ..it didn't fit and like most of the other stuff as well started popping off ...the joint piece was just to big and split the the metal hip piece apart !! lucky i have all the tools and manage to fix it all of it up... mostly with help of good old super glue!!
at least this guy come with a bad ass super canon !!

Are you sure that is a gundam cause he reminds me of The RTX-008 Huckebein from Super Robot Wars


Looks great though. Good job in the fix up!

While my strike freedom mb arrived , it is the heaviest mb till date.

It sure put down by far any transformers masterpiece in terms of quality. Is not miles apart is way light years apart, that's the difference.



Although is great, I think fans may argue that this isn't toon accurate toy.
In fact the normal freedom is in some ways better as is accurate and well made.

The strike freedom is all beefed up like on steroids and it doesn't give a real representation of the actual figure.

It makes destiny mb like a outcast in some ways and is not its match.

What I am slightly disappointed is that the markings do not match pg style or mg, the arch angles symbol are not present.

I can see why this piece is so expensive but if you paid rrp or less is worth it. Anything more is a bit rich .

nah hobbyco got very limited stock.... they ordered 140... but only 12 came in ... and that going to the lucky retaillers randomly raffled..... so if you know one of the owner they might be be kind enough to sell you it

So Lance. Is that blue thing a Gundam or not?
Was my assessment correct?
