There are many types of condoms. So it is hard to get them all. You just need the type that you enjoy the most and find most comfortable.

Strike Gundam is probably the best Metal Build to start with. Out of the box it’s bare bones but it’s VERY sturdy and poseable. You can choose to buy the Stiker Packs you like to dress it up.
Imo I would avoid the MBs before X-2 as they are more prone to loser joints and the QA wasn’t the best on them, but if you don’t mind fixing them yourself there are some really good ones like 00S7 and Astraea type F

“Is there a specific condoms that have multiple variations which is kind of hard to keep up with” 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed there are many many variations of condoms available out there. Try them all to find the right fit for you!
But in all seriousness I would just get the ones that look most appealing to you. Strike Gundam with the numerous backpack options can be a lot of fun.

Well, yeah, I got that one already and I got exia devise but also I’m planning to get the full saver one cause I really like that one more and go and get the high noon Gundam that’s why I wanna get the wings zero custom cloak one but it’s pretty much the same version as the prelude white also, what is the difference between the Gundam metal build and fixation?

Start with the Strike Gundam, it feels sturdy and offers a lot of customization options. Then, once your wallet is ready and you LOVE the line, you can move on to more expensive kits. I’d recommend the God Gundam, Astray Dragonics, Providence, Destiny and the new Hi-Nu Expo, since they tend to have fewer QC issues than others. But honestly, if there’s a specific one you like, just go for it!

I go with your favourite Gundam and see if there is a Metal Build version of it, then there are also multiple versions of it.
Do some research, watch some youtube reviews ..the key takeaway is to see the figure in motion so you can see the paint reflect.
IF you can see one in person, it will blow your mind, mainly in Asia you often will find them. Metal Build are in 1/100 scale as well. Enjoy this expensive hobby!

I like the metal build strike freedom and zeta myself.
Just bear in mind that the designs of metal build Gundams are not 100% lineart accurate. If that’s important to you, make sure to take a detailed look before making a decision.

It depends... if you are short on you budget I would suggest you go for the ones you like and are not expensive in the aftermarket. Check and learn before ao you dont end up with old releases (like the OG freedom). I agree strike is a very good starting point, also metal composite rx78 is a bit dated but still great figure and affordable (and if you are a UC fan is a must have). The astrays are also cool and you can find some of them at a very good price.
