So I just build the M.C Models Earth Guardian EX. Since theres very little info on the kit quality itself, I thought i'd do a quick rundown.
Plastic quality & colour separation are decent for a chinese kit. The nub placement is ridiculously bad, especially on the transparent parts ( all the nubs are on the clearly visible portions of the pieces when they could've been easily hidden on the side that's covered by adjacent pieces ). Tiny pieces have the sprue connecting the entire side of the piece forcing you to basically resculpt them to the correct shape.
The parts fit is pretty terrible in a lot of places all over the kit requiring a lot of trial & error filing & filling things so they sit correctly, the worst of which is the horn on the head sitting 3mm to the left of the center due to a really shitty peg design (in fact nothing on the head fits correctly making the whole thing look lop sided like the mecha has downs syndrome )
the hexagon shield pieces fit terribly requiring a lot of sanding and after assembling the shields several pieces fell off by themselves because the ball joints attaching them together snapped at the tiny pegs due to the weight ( this is another big problem, using stupidly tiny pieces to hold large sections together )
This is the first kit in a few years ive prepped & assembled then decided against painting because of the huge amount of work required to actually fix the kit so things dont fall apart when you look at it funny.
On the positive side, the weapons are great, but i think I'm going to use them on my MG astray blue frame instead.
TL/DR It may look nice in pics but in reality its not worth buying.
