Bought 2 MG Dark Matter Exias on B&N clearance a while back, built one and gave one to a friend. I don't regret giving one away but the one I built wasn't great at all. The build experience was very nice (although that's the same for every Gunpla I build) but the finished kit is so lacking.
The articulation isn't fantastic, especially not for a kit based off of a suit like the Exia. The head uses a disgusting joint so it can't tilt at all, limiting any dynamic poses. The hands can't hold the large swords properly, and I've never liked individually-poseable fingers anyways, even with a trigger/thumb/3-finger split. The backpack is incredibly fiddly to move around, and also makes the kit incredibly hard to balance.
Oddly enough, I also don't hate it, despite what I've said- I just wish it was better. For $15 it was still a hell of a deal. Maybe I'm just being autistic, but it still manages to have a lot of charm just for being such a flawed kit.
