Looks like that may very well be the intent. I'll know that the next DX release is happening when I start to get a bajillion emails from this thread. Although the last few days have been busier then normal.

Tou guys are killin it! And me. 

Lesson learned. Don't put valuables on high shelves when you have a cat that likes adventure.

Kshatriya along with Kempfer took a heavy fall. BUT...wait for it....wait for it...Next to NO damage. One of the rear thrusters for the Kampfer did break at the point where you plug it into the main body. But an easy enough fix. Drilled out the broken pieces on both sides. Now I just need a metal pin to glue into one end that fits snug.

Oh man, and the new Kakizaki has panel lining and weathering? I am surprised they decided to go that route just yet. They could have milked out all of them without, and then made a Bandai PF version of all of the releases,

Do you like keeping all those extra plastic pieces on your hurricane? I noticed you removed the head cover that disguises it as a gundam but didn’t remove anything else. The shoulder, body, knee caps and feet are all easily removable. 

Im still a little torn as to whether I will keep them on or not.  I like the chunkyness of the added armor, but the head was a no go.

@sumyumgoythanks bud!Its a great piece.

The cannon from the Poison Toys Launcher Striker pack can also be used with the "Hurricane" as a 3rd weapon. and it can mount on its backpack.

Once those arrive I will have a go with it on the hurricane. Both Cannon and sword are on order. Thanks for the intel

A nice surprise was waiting for me when I got back from some errands today! The 1/72 Poison Toys Hurricane. Seriously, these are toys I can actually play with. Heavy as all heck to.

I'd totally buy sinanju if it wasn't for fear of breakage in transit from how's packed by the producer. 

@SuperHoboit's a legitimate fear. I was fortunate enough. But the packaging dis leave a lot to be desired.

I was thinking about getting that one. But if it's as flimsy and not as well put together as some of the other third-party Gundam makers that I may take a pass on it.

Don't get me wrong, that's not too mean I don't like it. I just question the design intention of it when they were at the drawing board.

Maybe they didn't have enough financial resources to make it fully similar to something like poison toys or metal bear. Maybe if this one sells good enough the next one that comes out from a Moby little better.

Small things like complete hands

I'm late to the party but my Steel Legends Kshatriya and HongLaJiao Sinanju from Show.z arrived the other day.  It took a little over a month for me.

Kshatriya was missing the orange belts around the waist.  Bit of a bummer but I'm hoping that Show.z can help me out on that.

Sinanju survived with no major faults thankfully.  I'm not sure if it was confirmed before but it takes 9 times LR626 (AG4) batteries for the backpack and thrusters.  A23 batteries for the base.  Glue is definitely needed to assemble the hands.

They're both beautiful  

 

 

Glad you like them and that they arrived safe @sumyumgoy. I'm a fan myself of both, but the Sin is more like a very solid model. 

Pretty spikey. Could poke an eye out wit that thing!

Oh, I had forgotten I ordered the VF-4 III. Just got the shipping notice from NY!

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

Mine shipped out a month ago. But has never moved. I sent an inquiry well before the Corono Virus became an issue. I do t suspect I will ever receive this one. I have since purchased the Poison Toys/ MoShow 1/72 version. Now that is a TOY!

It is indeed a great figure for sure @Kuma Style

I got one from that guy at $225. Haven't opened it yet. I got is based on a very positive review by someone I trust.

Knowing you are the hardest of hardcore collectors, I trust that you trust them. I will IM the name to keep it private to confirm its the same seller.

Now I really cant wait to get the other 2 sets to compliment the Strike

Thanks! I will take some once those two items arrive and I get a little "inner child" time with it. After a further inspection of that website you linked I recall stumbling across it about a month ago. The prices are just to good to be true. In my youth I would have made a purchase there. But now, and after a few burns I just dont think its a legit site. And after reading their FAQ portion I am even more suspect.

I think I saw some new weapon (sword and launcher) pack for this.

Would be nice to have a complete 1/72 perfect strike. Where did you get this? I search around a few days ago but can't find anything that does not cause over $300.

@kkxI went ahead and ordered the Blaster and sword for the strike. This is maybe one of my more favorite toys. It is solid and beast as far as build. After watching a few vids on the blaster/sword pack additions I thought it was a no brainer.

Found this one after digging deep: https://www.pavaykamall.com/poison-toys-172-scale-mechax103-hurricane-buster-gundam-figure-in-stock-p-474729.htm

But it is likely a scam.

I couldnt find anything about that website. Good or bad to tell you the truth. I think it is a scam. Maybe not but no reviews...

This also seems really nice: https://showzstore.com/poison-toys-gat-x103-hurricane-buster-gundam-1-72_p0502.html

I ordered that one to. There was a seller on Ebay that had 4 of them for 225.00 each.I bought one, they took the remaining three down. Relisted in CAD for 40.00 more. Sent me an email to the effect "Cant ship for some time, may give refund if you want." I said no I will wait. If this one is like the Strike it is going to be amazing.

Here is a quick flic for you @sqidd

Size comparison as well

Oh I just got the 1/72 MoShow Strike that was released a few years back. Poison Toys/Moshow are by far my favorite third party creators right now. This thing is was worth the money for sure.

Yeah I'm holdng off ordering.more feo. ShowZ for the time. I have the Strike Gundam that was shipped o  the 18th of January. I have sent them 2 messages asking why theres been no change to it other then " Collected at Post" but I assume I know why and have gotten everything else i ordered from them. So no worries on the wait.

I'm with them. I glued mine in as well. Works so much better. Overall I'm happy enough with it.
