>>10686345Nuke matrix and e-model are roughly the same, with e-model's older kits being a bit rougher. Ms General has fantastic plastic quality, but the majority of their kits suffer from very shit engineering decisions making them very awkward to pose.
E-model and Ms general both suffered from quite bad face printing. Emodel also had a minor issue with some particularly soft light colored plastics, particularly the white. Ms general had some real butterfaced sculpts in tandem with the bad prints that compounded with their seeming lack of experience with making a decent action figure to make some very ugly unarmored girls, though the armor of these kits van be used to varying effect to try and hide this problem. E-model had some minor mold flaws pop up earlier in the line as well with inconsistent mold texturing, sinks, and wonky tolerances. E-model also has the honor of being the company that produced two of the most physically painful kits I've ever built with Serqet and Quing Long leaving my hands sore as fuck for diferent reasons.
Nuke matrix has consistently put out solid kits with decent materials and good mold quality, they all have one or two engineering issues, but nothing that can't be ignored or fixed if needed. Ruri and Lirlybell are both super good kits.
The most important thing you can do with these kits is to have a small round file handy during the build. Several of the kits have joints that absolutely can freeze up from how thight they are.
If your going for one my recommendation is Zhuge Liang from Ms General followed by Lirlybell and then Quing Long. Problems aside they really show the best the manufacturers have to offer so far.
