There's also a MC XN Seven Swords kit that includes EVERYTHING, and when I got it, it was only $10 more than the XN Riser kit.
-
Some people say the paint job on the MC 00 isn't as solid as the Bandai 00, but it's something that you probably will only notice when comparing the figures side by side. I have the MC 00 Riser, the 00 Seven Sword Trans Am version, and recently got the MC 00 XN Riser kit, and I think they're all solid figures. They're all well worth their $90-150 prices. The Red Frame KO has the wrong unit number in tampo marks on the chest, but it's very small. I didn't even notice it till someone pointed it out.
-
Ah. That explains that. I also received shipping confirmation my weapon pack is on its way now too.
-
I received the same 2 guns by themselves without notice. I'm starting to guess they were part of the original figure purchase.
-
Did you just get the two guns without the sub arms or any of the adapter parts? And there was no indication they were coming when you received them?

Building the DM Blue Frame 3rd. It comes with 3 different heads. I've build 2 so far

I received the Super Nova / Model Heart Wing 0 today. Adding to the queue.

More videos coming?

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
JakCrow replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This will probably be slightly better than a Metal Build if the GFFMC Wing 0 is any indication. -
Not sure, but everything has basically been closed for Chinese New Year. Even mine that's been shipped has been sitting in shipping until their holiday is over.

Some manufacturer is supposedly working on a 1/72 MB Deathscythe Hell EW. Unknown who the manufacturer is, though I suspect Moshow's hand in this given the scale. https://showzstore.com/pre-order-lihua-1-72-xxxg-01d-gundam-deathscythe-hell-endless-waltz-ver-metal-build_p0964.html

I have this on its way right now. It's kind of a combination of the GFFMC Wing 0 figure and the MG gunpla. I'd say get it if you're looking for a reasonably priced fill in for the GFFMC figure.
-
Hopefully. I like the look of it more than the first one.
-
The first one didn't get very good reviews due to loose joints and poor detailing.
-
I picked up two of these all metal swords for my Metal Build Gold Frame. They're really solid but not too heavy for the figure and they look great. Top sword is the original that comes with the figure.
-
It's been recalled and they're going back to the drawing board to fix all the production issues the first run had

My MC Kshatriya ships today. Whoop! I also pulled the trigger and ordered the new 00 Seven Sword XN Raiser package I saw on AliExpress. Cuz I'm a dope I had minor issues with both the most recent MC releases: the Red Frame, and the XN Raiser. While not any particular issues with the sculpts, paint apps (except for the Red Frame having the mass production unit numbering) or joint issues, there were a few pieces completely missing glue, and minor assembly issues with their action bases. While I understand why they're doing it, I can't say I'm thrilled with the plain white box format they're shipping with now.
-
I wouldn't worry too much about it while it's being transformedz and that's from a while ago. It could have easily been an early sample

I received the MC XN Raiser last night. It camein what appears to be MC's now standard plain boxes packaging now. Since it didn't come with instructions, I had to kind of refer to the master grade gunpla instructions to figure out all the new parts. The figure and the 00 Raiser are exact the same as the previous Raiser release, with the new XN parts added. The buster swords that come with the kit are made of that lighter plastic MC has been using, but in this case it's a good thing in order for the figure to hold them without there being any weight issues. For $135 it's worth it, though after I received it, this kit showed up for sale https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/b6xpAxZm
-
I decided to get the Model Heart/Super Nova Wing 0 kit. I want to compare it to the GFFMC figure since it's heavily based on it and the reviews I've seen are pretty positive.
-
I finally received my DM Blue Frame 3rd this week. It's going to the head of the line of my backlog.
-
The photos seem to show all the parts.

XN Raiser review https://ggmara.blogspot.com/2018/11/mc_25.html
-
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.
-
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.
