>>10856307I just got mine in today or I guess yesterday since it's almost two hours past midnight. I haven't had enough time to mess with them completely, but the engineering is bad or at least archaic. Super-Mechagodzilla is too back-heavy. Even with the diecast feet he is always falling back and resting on the tip of his tail and he's much more annoying to take apart and put parts on than Kiryu. In my 6 years of owning Kiryu and 2 years of owning MVMecha, neither of them has accumulated anywhere near as many scratches and paint imperfections as Heisei Mechagodzilla had coming out of the box. It's actually impressive how many scratches and paint imperfections this figure came with.
Rodan's paint deco is nice and I like that his head and his spikes are translucent plastic, but his articulation either sucks or feels scary enough that I don't want to mess around with the joints for fear of breaking them. Especially his ankles which feel like if you look at them wrong they will snap. His stand is dogshit. They got rid of both Mechagodzilla and Rodan's beams, they could have at least made better flight stands for everyone. Rodan's feels especially egregious though because it's an ugly three-armed contraption to hold one of the lightest figures in the line. A stand like the one for SP Rodan would have been much better even if it is more static. I think the lower part of Rodan's legs and his tail are also made of translucent plastic like the head and spines which really makes me wonder why they didn't make his wings out of translucent material as well.
I wasn't going to be getting the Super7 Mechagodzilla, but now I actually want to get it to compare it to the SHMA.
