Doesn't look removable and from the vid the paintwork needs improvement. Looks uneven, blotchy and many obvious air bubbles on the surface. Not sure if general production pieces will have improved QC.

I'm guessing both the Freedom and Kshatriya are pre-production, especially the Freedom with all the 3d printed parts that were in the kit previewed. The MC Kshatriya has a lot of great mechanical detail that the Steel Legend figure just doesn't have.

Yes, believe the reviewer mentioned that. Hope the general release will have these flaws fixed. It is a really nice design that will look good on display. God knows if we will get an official Bandai MB Freedom 2.0.

Can't believe that they're going to flood the KO market with different Freedom releases. Not sure which Freedom to get. ^_^

I kind of hate that "Dragon King" on principle. I know it's common to basically steal conversion kits for a lot of these third-party figures, but it still bothers me now and again to see it happen.

EDIT:

For context, the original conversion kit:

It's just cheaper to imitate and make a profit.

You mean kinda like the GFFMC Unicorn?  :)

 

Another company is doing their own take on this Dragon King thing. They do look pretty amazing.

Show.Z.Store has a link to the Metal Gear Kshatriya manual on their website. I pre-ordered the Steel Legend one but the detail on the Metal Gear one looks amazing.. I'm torn and don't know which one to get!

http://bbs.78dm.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=616726&page=1&extra=#pid8985589

get both. Many people by Macross jets. But for the price of one decaying Valk you can get two Metal Build Kysh's

Whew quickly ran to my cabinet to check. AND NOPE. Still white as snow. :)

You're lucky. I've seen mixed reports about the white GFFMC unicorn  figures discoloring after being taken out of their boxes. I have the older MC figure of the Blast Impulse that is now completely yellowed while never being in the sun once, and even it's shield that was sitting in a storage box for years also discolored over the same time too. Bandai apparently used some plastics that had the habit of oxidizing badly for the GFF lines at one point.

The panels will probably close like the ver ka Master grade. The figure it's self looks like the ver ka conversion kit

Ok. I think I might bite on that Sazabi in the hopes that there might be a Nu-Gundam down in their pipeline. Or they can do a Sinanju too. ^_^

I have the MC 00 Raiser and Seven Swords and they're both great figures for the price. I also have the XN Raiser on the way. You'd probably only really notice most differences if you put it right up against the Bandai original. Here's a video comparing the two. I thought for sure I knew which one was the original and which was the MC, but I was wrong when the guy showed which was which.

I have both MC 00Raiser and 007Swords along with Bandai’s 00Raiser (set release) and the 007Swords. They have slight differences from color to markings. Bandai’s marking looks clearer and cleaner compared to MC releases. However, the big difference is that these MC ones have tighter joints than its original counterpart. With the price it’s going for on th original, it’s better to get the MC brand.

Do note that the MC XNRaiser release might not have the weapons and accessories that came with the 00Raiser version such as the GN Sword III, etc. And we’re not sure if the Raiser itself will have its original wing attachments from than 00Raiser release.

I’m also down for the XNRaiser release as well. With the prices they’re going for, it’s better to have two version of MC Raiser figures for the price of one Metal Build 00Raiser.

Hope that helps. ;)

Nice! I don't read Korean language. But does it confirms that it will include the standard 00Raiser Weapons and Accessories?

Either way, I think it's nice to have both versions. So it's ok if it doesn't come with it. ;)

The photos seem to show all the parts.
