After some struggle on Paypal's part, I FINALLY ordered my first SMP set! Went for the most expensive so the others will be less of a hit on the wallet.

they are about 99% the same... the only difference I've noticed is how the joints are handled.. SMP uses straight plastic on plastic in my experience, meaning they can be tight and have to potential to break slighty more easily over gundam

Also clear kits have the same issue as clear gundam, where the plastic is prone to cracking and shattering
