There are basically no difference between the 2 figure besides the colour scheme.

The great sword is still a pain-in-the-ass to prop up.

The detail on both the figure and weapons are superb.

Jumping slash. No, you cant do that in the game. It looks great though.

Downward slam! The effect part is useful to capture the motion.

Monster Hunter PvP!!! No, this does not happen. =P
My comment on the previous Rathalos Hunter figure applies here too since it is basically the same figure with a different colour scheme. Once again, I would like to point out the weakness in the Revoltech joint which is unable to withstand huge amount of weight. Hence, it is very difficult to prop this figure up without the usage of the stand and in most cases, the stand does very little to support the figure. It makes matter worse if the great sword was equipped on the figure. 

As a conclusion, the detail on the figure is topnotch but the the flimsy joints make it less desirable. That aside, it is still a must-have for any Monster Hunter fans out there.
