>>7112150>>7112534I own the official one, Magten and IT. The first thing you have to realize is that most people only handled one and have no idea what they're talking about when they try to compare them without having them all in hand.
Official: the paintchipping issue is true but it's nowhere as bad as official haters want you to believe. I transformed mine maybe 20 times and unless you're actually closely looking for it, you won't find any (same with my friend's). Out of the 3 different versions I've handled, this one has the best joints (everything feels solid). It's also the best looking one in my opinion.
IT: joints are hit and miss, some are more rigid than the official's, some are looser and with the number of joints that figure has, you can be sure you won't get one with rigid joints only. For the record, I had to fix 4 on mine including the canon holding shoulder & elbow. There's no paintchipping issue on this one but some tolerances aren't that good. You'll have to be careful not to bend some plastic angles and shit. Also be warned that the color is WAY duller on this one.
Magten: paint is far from perfect out of the box, joints are pretty much the same as the original, maybe a tiny bit looser in some space, still a good looking piece but unless you're in love with the look, I'd say go for the official or IT, they feel a bit more solid and have an overall better finish.
>>7112650>The color (because of the paint) actually varies a bit from MP-36 so check that to see if it bugs you. IIRC it is a shade lighter.It doesn't vary a bit, it's completely different. IT looks like bare gray plastic while MP-36 looks painted in silverish gray.
