    U are probably referring to Qan(T). General impressions were positive, the joints are tight and it's easier to handle than the official MB. And it comes with the full saber kit and has a bonus mech to boot (the set comes in 2 boxes and u have to swap parts between the 2). Moshow branded themselves as "Warrior Toys" for that project.

    There's also another 3rd party Qan(T), manufactured by Fanmade, though the quality on that figure is said to be sub-standard.

    I could never rationalize displaying something that beautiful with the cape on.

    That’s the one! Yeah I’m very tempted to get it but I have a budget at the moment. Hopefully it’s still available by the time I have the funds to buy it.

    Does anyone have one of the MetalClub Strike Freedoms that can give an honest comparison to an official Bandai Meta Build\Composite unit?
    I've got all of the officials except the Strike Freedom and I am finding it very difficult to justify the obscene markup on the official when the KOs at least APPEAR to look the same.
    I've not found any side by side comparisons of them

    I do not own any of the metal club figures but I did briefly handle a metal club 00 KO at a brick and mortar store, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality.

    The quality between the Bandai and Metal Club is said to be close.

    here's a vid (not mine) that showcases the difference between official and KO. Most folks can't tell the differenece.

    Grumble...

    Everything was going smoothly and then I clicked the wrong button when redeeming my points. By the time I got back to my cart to fix the error it was sold out. Oh well, I’ll give this another go when domestic US shops list the X1.

    I was thinking about it up to an hour before, then I went and played Spider-Man and forgot.

    Alright so got the review up for Tung Mung EX's TungMung-02 Duke-X. Link in sig (if on mobile, view in landscape to see signatures.)

    [​IMG]

    The article goes into depth but overall it's a solid piece but with some minor loose pieces that throw it off a notch from Omega-X which was pretty "perfect" all around. Here are some pics from the gallery portion:
