So... think your Berserk Fuhrer needs an upgrade in conventional firepower... and WINGS?! New kit coming out that certainly isn't stolen outright from the BF, but certainly does look gorgeous! And, oh, those kitbashing parts!!!  Supernova ZA Freedom Wings Model Kit |

I'm a little bit torn about this one - I know this is Supernova's schtick, but I can't respect a company that doesn't create anything original. All this talent and they take MG Freedom wings and slap them on their copied HMM Berserk Fury kit and call it a day.
That said, I'll be interested to see what color they decide to cast it in.

On second thought, mine will be better after all. 😂

To be fair, that headpiece looks entirely original. I don't need or want this for my ZA Storm Fury, but I think it looks super neat. Cool for Gundam Seed fans too. |

I'm torn on a lot of things the company does, but as a customizer who sees the average kit as a resource for random parts I don't feel TOO bad.

I think that ZA has done things to keep them separate from being bootlegs. Unique parts, oversize versions, and outright full unique builds with the Genesis ligers keeps them in good graces really. They are doing what the official ones dont or wont. I have the oversized Deathstinger and the custom ice white Sturm Tyrann. Both have features that are full engineering changes and additions. My only complaint is the same with the Koto kits....The movable joints wear out quick and should really be re-engineered to ratchet joints. I dont have the Genesis ligers look great, but I dont have one yet. I do know that Koto doesnt even offer these as of yet.

I was pretty happy with the quality of their previous offerings, enough to pre-order this guy to complete my set of Fuhrers. Kinda hoping they stick with the white/blue to match the Super Sturm Tyrann. I do agree with DarthPardus, I wish both Supernova and Koto would do something to fix the joints. K My OG HMM Fuhrer is currently sitting in a box waiting for repairs after taking one of many dives off the shelf from its weak ankle joints.
I will admit, as someone who owns many third party Transformers figures, what Supernova is doing does leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, despite how good their Death Stinger and Fuhrers are. Granted, it's not like they're outright duplicating the molds, not like STK does with their HMM bootlegs.

I am now seeing listings for this, and it does retain the blue/white color scheme. I may have to pick this one up and do a new Berserk Fuhrer Shadows Edge though!! Time for Raven to get a new HMM.
