Alright boys and girls, enough with the "how to post in this thread" comments and back to gunpla please.
Some questions about the Amatsu:

1. Are the ankle joints flimsy? My Blue Frame's ankles are. And with the high heels, is it still as easy as the Red Frame (with flat feet) for standing poses?

2. Is the torso/waist joint strong enough to support the backpack? Again, my Blue Frame has the tendency to tilt backwards when the tactical arms is attached.

3. Still with the backpack - is it still attached via a single polycap joint? Blue Frame does, and no way can it support the weight of the tactical arms hence it sags downwards.

4. How about the head? Seems like there are many individual pieces that may be attached loosely. The Blue Frame's face armour tends to get knocked off easily, and the semicircular piece beneath the chin pops out if you rotate it too much.

5. And how about the other tiny pieces such as the red pieces on the thighs? My Blue Frame is the one that has most broken parts - right shoulder joint, the little orange pieces on the thighs, the hand pegs.

As you can already tell, the 1/100 Blue Frame is full of flaws... Or maybe mine's a lemon?
Actually no, the RG Strike made me appreciate the MG version even more.

RG has too many unnecessary panel lines and it doesn't come with the catapult !

1. The ankle joints are pretty firm, both Blue Frame and Gold Frame Amatsu, regardless of the high hill
2. The torso/waist joint have no problem as they are connected with a peg instead of ball joints. Is just that the common flaw for SEED related mecha is that they have huge backpack and sometime is too back-heavy, being it NG or MG.
3. The backpack is connected to the body with 2 polycap, like Red Frame.
4. The head is pretty alright... at least is better compare to the chin piece on Blue Frame But we could always glue it
5. Broken parts? there are many small pieces but none broken so far

The 1/100 Blue Frame is alright to me as I have 1 myself. It is just personal expectation, especially when you compare it with the MG version, MG will always be better. (I do not have the MG Blue Frame but I'm sure you would have the same problem if you are attaching the tactical arm to it's back )

Cheers 

the shoulder's gimmick look good.. kinda reminded me with Strike gundam

I may be mistaken, that was couple weeks ago, didn't bother looking at it again 

Since you two are surprised, then I'd think memory failed me here 

But other than my memory failing me, what're the pros of the Metal Build over the normal MG editions?

can the Amatsu backpack be mounted on the Gold Frame basic? 

hmm, went thru some reviews on MG 00 Qan[t]. not very good wor. apparently parts of the shield will fall off if u try to adjust too much :T

anyone of you have this kit? is it worth it?

need to think properly since i'm also buying Blue Frame MG. :T

Integrated weapons are gimmicks rather than practical paraphernalia.

The Blitz's Trikeros system is the worst offender. Combining your gun, your beam sabre, and your shield into one item means (1) you can only do one thing at once, shoot OR block OR slash (2) if you lose that weapon you lose everything. Yes, the claw/anchor is useless (3) Why do you even need darts when you have a beam gun? A missile pod or more ammo clips would be a wiser choice.

Same with Exia's gunblade. You can either shoot, or slash. Not both. At least the Exia has a separate shield and lots of backup blades.

As gorgeous as the Blitz looks, it is one of the more useless designs in CE.
The ugliest however, goes to Raider. No competition here.
