twich Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 14 hours ago, Scyla said: To me the differences boil down to: Metal Build: stylized designs from mostly non UC suits Metal Composite: designs of mostly UC suits true to the designs of Katoki Hajime Chogokin: adapted Gunpla designs (from what I can tell) made into action figures Other than that, they all are roughly 1/100 scale, have die cast, paint and plastic (though distribution and amount will vary), come with display stands and lots of accessories. From my experience with owning Metal Build and Metal Composite figures and seeing reviews of the Chogokin line, the MB/MC ones are of higher quality compared to the Chogokin line, especially when it comes to the sharpness of the molding. However, the quality of the Metal Composite line drastically improved with the Gundam Wing releases (I think it was even branded as Metal Composite x Metal Build in the beginning). I think you made the right choice in going with the Strike Gundam. While I am not a fan of the design I think it is the best made Metal Build release so far (though the Hi Nu is pretty great too). I think that I might be getting too old to build Gundams…..I just completed my kit if the 1/100 Full Mechanics Gundam Aerial, and the first thing I noticed is that my damn hands shake, and despite glasses, those little parts are almost too small to see. I have given up on stickers/decals and leave that to my 15 year old son………sucks getting old! When I got this Metal Build Strike Gundam, it was perfect! Didn’t really have to assemble it! Toughest thing was assembling the Launcher Striker accessory set and posing the big gun with the Strike Gundam holding it! The Metal Builds I am seeing are around the same price as a Macross jet, so not too crazy! Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
