    Found this: Requires 3 LR41 batteries needed for Gundam figure (includes test batteries) Requires 4 AAA batteries for stand (not included)

    @carlsylar Man looking back at your pics you've finally convinced me on getting this unboxed and reviewed this week. Does anyone have a battery list for it?

    Thank you, guys! And I was able to get a hold of the company and this didn't come with instructions at all so I don't really know what I was thinking because I swore up and down they did (but I get a lot of stuff in a given week so I probably mixed it up and just ran with it.) Production's held up with the whole Coronavirus deal so they haven't been printed yet but I did receive an image copy of them. Off hand it looks Unfortunately it does have waist swivel BUT there's no way to detach the bar like the Bandai DXC so it's extremely limited (<45% each way.) Honestly I would've just ripped off what the DX Chogokin did without a single regret (but obviously I'm not going to say that to them, lol.) Personally I don't see anything wrong with an innovation becoming a new standard for toy homages to a particular character unless there are patents on the addition and whatnot. (I **do** have an idea that I think will add full waist articulation but I'm going to wait until getting the review knocked out to do it. Granted it works I think it's simple enough to where if it's not too late KitzConcept may be able to change it.)

    It's actually pretty nice looking in-hand. It's reflecting off of the background which is brownish. I decided to change it out because of that reason: See below. Questions Noted for review. -----------------------------------

    Honestly I think your points are pretty fair. I actually agree with 100% of what you're saying here. The articulated hands on the DC are REALLY good but what I was saying was just that with the product and hands being so much smaller than the 1/48 DX it's pretty impossible to duplicate that at a smaller hands because the hands and fingers are unfortunately just that much smaller. I just hate that it's Robotech branded so there's pretty much never any hope for DYRL styled hands. ------------------ So went to get this reviewed last night and had a setback in the form of having misplaced the instructions somewhere which isn't HUGE because I know how to transform it from the VF-1S but I want to make sure I get all of the differences to relay and there are things like it having waist swivel but I don't know if there's a way to get the bar unlocked like the Bandai DX to utilize it... so need to find those before diving totally in. Quick snap:

    If it's luck then maybe I need to go to the casino. Regardless please don't tell others what their experience is when they obviously know their own experience better than anyone. Thank you. -------------------------------------- Anyways, I can finally actually take a real look at it this afternoon. Even if I don't get around to reviewing it, I'll share some initial thoughts.

    ... I don't think you get the point at all and that's "concerning" in and of itself. How can I warn against experiences that I myself don't have. I've had the VF-1s even longer than you with no problems to date. What are you even talking about here. Even when I don't have personal issues and hear about people having them by the time I review I make sure to post those things in reviews like my latest one here. If mine has held up then what am I supposed to say besides "mine's held up fine" to people wondering? On the flip side it's your place to share your personal experiences with others like you're doing now. But with that, don't expect anyone who's had a contradictory experience to do anything but understand what could (have) happen(ed) after reading it since theirs have held up differently. You make zero sense I honestly don't feel like you have an actual point you're trying to make and are projecting your personal gripes onto me which isn't anywhere near rational, man. It sucks that you had a bad experience but even having read through this thread and others regarding it it doesn't seem to be near the norm. I hope that the retailer/company took care of you. ding ding ding. Not just that, but wants me to tell people that the opposite will happen than what's happened to mine, even. I can understand where he's coming from since there was a previous release with the same basic mold that came out last year but the problem is that he's trying to "tell me" an item will break because his did when mine hasn't had a single issue.

    I can and I did, sir. This isn't to nullify or dismiss your negative experience with your copy but since I didn't have the same experience with mine, why would I share the same opinion? I'm never going to put my opinion out there as the end all, be all, definitive and encourage people to get a good number of perspectives, particularly when a purchase seems questionable. On the flip side though it'd be nice not to have my opinion and experience dismissed simply because yours differs.

    I do this on every video review but I appreciate you guys pointing out specifics. I don't know if it has waist swivel as it's still back in the box. I'll get to it this weekend and of course share here. Ragrading the HMR... that's a pretty interesting point because I was telling someone yesterday it feels like a proper middle between it and the DXC aesthetically. It's a pre production sample and the final copy won't have the discrepancy in the left foot. It was told to me before it was even sent. Regarding the hands yes I totally agree they're spindly but given the size of the product there's no way to avoid it with hands that need to be that size for transformation. This is why it comes with fixed hands like every other modern valk toy for the same reason. And I'm not particularly biased towards this product so this isn't me going out of my way to defend it and argue with you personal, but there seems to be some unecessary picking within this post.

    It's not released yet, brother but I'm don't know the mass release date yet.
  15. Kuma Style
    Honestly they aren't as high end tight as the DXCs but I definitely wouldn't call them poor or anything. Personally I think they're a decent alternative. @twich gimme till tomorrow night, boss.Not even home from work and work again tomorrow. Need to pull the 1s out to side by side.
  16. Kuma Style
    Got in the VF-1J today and can't lie it looks really good to me.

    @tekering was right on and the winner of a shiny blue heart.

    The full review and gallery for the Pose+ P.03 Goshogun is up: https://kumastyledesigns.com/pose-plus-goshogun-review/ Article goes in depth but here's the summary:b Overall Score: 7.5/10 – This is easily and obviously not only the best Goshogun toy of all time but honestly the best we’ll probably ever see making it what I’d call the absolute definitive collectible for this mecha. However for everything that it does well in terms of build and engineering, the paint on mine coming with defects as well as reading stories from others regarding a variety of quality issues including cracks in the plastic it seems that the actual condition yours arrives in is a toss up. This isn’t good articularly being one of the first figures under this brand. However if you get one in absolutely pristine condition then prepare to be amazed. That’s not to say that you won’t be impressed ven with issues but given the price of the product and the standards set by ArtStorm in general you should expect much different than what customers have been given in this regard. And here are a few pics from the gallery portion:

    I don't remember saying that as I ordered it at launch. ------------------------------------- @carlsylar As long as I can get a preorder in, for sure. Even if not though getting the Proto GN HML kind of cures my want for that aesthetic on my shelves since it pretty much takes the EXIA aesthetic and gives it a boost without going too overboard. --------------------------------------- @anime52k8 It really is a great offset. -------------------------------------- Added on the Avalung set.

    You're really making me want to unbox @carlsylar. awesome shorts.

    I think the cutman sold fine given that it was in a two pack and just a mm body with a different head. That was at the beginning of the line which saw towards 20 releases until the mismanagement of the Roll release just killed customer support.
