Has anyone else gotten any EMSiA's yet? I got the Mk-II but I don't have a camera so posting pics is pretty impossible. Also, I just wanted to know what anyone else thinks about them.
Anyway, I'd have to say its pretty great, its painted in flat paints like a FIX, but its a good deal more poseable, it holds poses really good, it even has a joint in its upper torso for movement previously limited to PG models. Included in its list of awesome gimmicks, is the two 'functional' pistons in the ankle that move in and out when you compress them. While able to hold a pose, when you play with it it's joints aren't overly tight or restrictive like some of the SEED MSiA. Plus, it comes with all it's standard weapons including a well scaled Vulcan pod, and a nice and skinny Clay bazooka.
Through all the good stuff though, there are a few cons I've noticed. While it's beam saber mounts are poseable(on a backpack attached to the torso with another ball/socket), the actual beam saber hilts don't stay on them very well, so if you intend to play with it, you may want to leave them off until you pose it. Also, the shield seems a bit smaller than it should be. Other than that, all of it's weapons are perfectly sized and painted, and I've not noticed any signs of gashapon syndrome anywhere on the fig.
All in all, I'd say its pretty nice, especially for just a bit more $$ than a regular MSiA. Though if you have a phobia of well jointed figs it certainly isn't for you (four in each shoulder alone!). If you like the Mk-II or the Gouf, or even the upcoming Zeta, I'd say check these out.
