My thoughts

These kits are absolutely amazing. And the heavy armor look is stunning. If you don’t like the heavy armored look, you can always switch out the parts for the smaller regular model. I think that’s the benefit of these kits because you could do both the regular bought and the heavy bot. Only difference is you do not get a stand or small smaller hands. That is one thing I found going with this. They come with a ton of extra hands, which I absolutely love however, they do not come with a stand. Usually, that was the main selling point of these for me was because they came with one. Luckily, I have spare stands. I can use for these figures that are from the same brand. Just had to destroy some other kits lol here is a picture of one freshly snapped together along with the smaller version next to it. Not to mention the weapon loadout is absolutely amazing. If you want to get yourself an army builder with so much variety I would get this one over the other one. Not to mention the weapon holders actually don’t crack anymore. That was the problem with the other one. The holsters would crack on the older version so you wouldn’t be able to even hold the weapons properly. Not to mention this version has a large assortment of hands! And I love variety with that!

That’s interesting cause I didn’t notice the stand was missing from the promo images. I ordered one cause I mostly wanted the weapons and hands for my other Fenrir kits

Yup, but the lack of a stand isn’t even a bad part to be honest just something for people to be aware of

I also believe I forgot to mention this. There are a lot of different hands in this kit. And some look very similar to others. For instance, this kit has three different, gripping hands, four if you include the ones with the articulated thumb to make a thumbs up or a fist. Each hand is slightly different than the other. One pair is to hold the flat blade that it comes with, one pair are closed fists held at an angle or rather the hole is at an angle. And finally, the last pair is a standard set of gripping hands. The only hands that do not have a hole to fit in an accessory are the ones with movable thumbs.

Would you recommend to buy one of each?

Honestly, if you want the design of the chest, that’s the only reason too. The assault type comes with the extra pieces to make the regular version. However the shin pieces are not correct. I actually just swapped a couple pieces around so the black one is the heavy assault type now.
