The MB Astraea + Proto GN Cannon is readily available at less than MSRP nowadays, so I ended up impulse buying one, haha. Neat little remold of Exia, I love the beefier front skirt armor and the squared-off shoulders. Of course, the Astraea head-sculpt is rad too.
>>7927844Great buy, anon! Vifam is an excellent RD and that price is a steal.
>>7929192>>7930095Dang, that stinks to hear you've had such bad luck with your MBs. All of mine have held up nicely (Exia here is as tight as when I first got it years ago), but then again I don't mess around with my MBs all that often.
Have had similarly good luck with my Metal RDs. My oldest is Ex-S (three years old now, kinda wild to think it's been that long!) and he's still nice and tight. Though, as with my MBs, I haven't messed with him all that much.
>>7930463The missile launcher definitely comes apart easily, though in my experience they hold together well enough once you've got 'em posed. I doubt they'll use the same design for 08th MS Team, as it's not entirely accurate to their appearance in the OVA. I get the impression that the missile pods in the Feddie weapon set were intended to be backpack mounted, and being able to form the missile launcher was just a neat bonus they worked in.
>>7932700Dang, the finish and color of the plastic for those Strike parts looks so good. I guess the added emblems confirm DYRL VF-1A Max and Kakizaki releases.
>>7941302No drop-down feature that I can see on mine. I'll echo
>>7941487 got a picture?
