Hobbes, you're batting a thousand.

*Happiness*

Left to right: Gloucester Air (Mass Production Version), Gawain, Zero's Burai, Cecile's Sutherland Air (the one from ep25)

EDIT:

*Joy*

Took longer than it should have (I didn't use photoshop), but I cobbled together an image appropriate for my feelings over the situation:

I will give a mini-review tomorrow...

Posability is great, the only problem I have with it are the ankles....it doesn't move enough for my taste.

I will say this has surpassed the EMIAs though.

Anyway, so here is the review.

While these are supposed to be MIA/EMIAs......the quality, paint, material AND QC is vastly superior. The paint job along with the QC is excellent. I don't really see much out-of-line painting......even out of the 2 I saw in the store. Though the gold is little too yellow-ish for my taste...it's still good. The MVS are also painted in a metallic red color, which is awesome.

A lot of the joints on the Lancelot are actually ball joints, the exceptions are the knee and the elbow joint. Speaking of these two joints...I find that they aren't as "flexible" like the MIA/EMIA joints. The shoulder joints are double jointed, in a fashion similiar to the HG Akatsuki/Noir/etc. The joint on the hands are surprisingly posable....even better than MGs. The pelvis joints are really flexible...while being able to do the regular movements, you can also twist the legs around with ease. Now...the biggest problem of this figure is actually the ankle joints. They simply don't provide enough posability for things like the launching pose. HOWEVER, this is somewhat helped by the Landspinners (and yes, the wheels do actually work XD)....with the landspinners down, it helps the Lancelot to balance.

Accessories wise, Lancelot's got the VARIS (closed and open), two MVS (along with two sheathes), two shealthed MVS handles, one slash harken.....plus five sets of hands for us to play around with. I am somewhat disappointed because they only gave us one slash harken....I was hoping for at least 2, one for the arms and one for the waist.....but oh well.

All in all, great figure. I do believe that this is MUCH more superior than the 1/35 models and the Mechanical Collections.

*Waits for Conquesta and Guren*

Can the harken be used on the hips or just the arms?

Just the arms, unfortunately.

Just wait....the QC will drop in this series too. Remember the first couple EMSIA that came out and how awesome they were? Then after the Nu and Sazabi came out they started dropping the ball. I have a feeling it's gonig to happen here too. The first wave of these will be awesome, but after that they'll get progressively worse in terms of QC. I just hope we get either the Gekka or the Akatsuki/Zangetsu while they still care about putting out good quality stuff.

The units piloted by Chiba, Asahina, that guy from the ruins who gave the testimony, and somwhat C.C., only pink.

Should have been Shinseiken, but after Urabe and the fat one died they changed the group name.
