>>7342374Not yet! I'd love to see one.
>>7344588The Full Action RX-0 mold and the Sinanju both hold up excellently (as evidenced by Bandai's repeated reissuing, heh). Kind of hard to believe Sinanju'a mold is nearly 10 years old now.
I included the Stark Jegan in the mix as well because I love it, but it's a good representation of the typical "old" RD. A solid figure with good looks (though slightly soft sculpt) and great accessory spread, but smaller size and very simplistic engineering that's lacking now standard articulation & features like Tamashii Stage compatibility.
The older Full Metal Panic releases also hold up very well, particularly the Savage and Lambda Driver Arbalest, though they share many of the same "old RD" drawbacks as the Stark Jegan. And of course there's the Eva RDs which are also still excellent.
>>7345131Haven't heard of any breakage issues with the Hy-gogg. RD joints are built to be durable, so joint breakages are very rare barring any manufacturer's defect (see poor Canada anon's Gelgoog).
>>7345499While I don't have personal experience with the Alter, I do know Alter does very good work (I have their Yukikaze which is fantastic) but their stuff does tend to veer towards being more like models than action figures. Their stuff is pretty pricey for what you get too. Alter's FMP figures are 1/60 scale, making them about 5.6 inches tall for an MSRP of roughly $140 (though Mandarake does appear to have it for $100 or less).
With the MB, for $200 you're getting a 7.25 inch tall figure with significant diecast parts, more detail/paint, more accessories (though Alter includes an assault rifle which the MB lacks unless you get the Gernsback), and I believe the MB has better articulation as the Alter appears to have less range in its knees.
It's ultimately gonna come down to your budget & scale preference, I think both figures will satisfy, but I believe you're getting more for your money with the MB and I prefer how it looks.
