eriku Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 There should be preorders up at the usual places (such as HLJ) soon I would imagine. I'm usually pretty neutral towards SD stuff but I've got a fiery desire for that Lightan and Dancouga. Quote
Twoducks Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 They are from Artstorm / Fewture http://hlj.com/hljlist2/?SeriTxt1=&Gen...le=0&Dis=-2 http://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist.cgi?x=61&am...is=-2&Code= Hope they release Dancouga soon.. Quote
promethuem5 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 LOVE the new Dragun! Con-battler looks better than most versions, even tho I still won't buy it Hopefully the totally rad folded arms on Dragun don't end up being a Tamashii exclusive or anything lame like that! Quote
eriku Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I'll be all over that Combattler when it goes up for preorder. Looks fantastic. I hope it can do the land cruiser mode like the Respect for Voltes... Quote
Majestic Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I'm having trouble discerning the differences on the new Combattler versus the old. From what I can tell: Increased poseability Clear cockpits Parts on the back of the shoulders stay on after transformation Different placement of tank treads on back Wider upper arms? Stand up without falling over? Edited August 26, 2009 by Majestic Quote
wolfx Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Not quite chogokin, but its soul of polyphonica Swordfish II! And damn it looks so awesome!! http://www.amiami.com/shop?vgForm=ProductI...ate=review.html Quote
nugundamII Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) ALERT DO NOT BUY THE BIG O It is a Plastic piece of poo. About 5% metal in it. Feels as light as a MG Gundam ....!!!!!! BEWARE! Hot Wheels cars have more metal! Articulation sucks Plastic feels cheap Need to pay extra for expansion pack that should be included......... SOC joke ! Overpriced! Edited October 24, 2009 by nugundamII Quote
chen Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Well I love my Big-O, sure it doesn't have the most diecast but it is large and I love the sculpt, amazing QC too. I also bought GX-46, GX-47, and GX-49 at the same time and I can sincerely say that GX-46 is one of THE most impressive figures ever made, it truly is a masterpiece. I don't know if it's a must buy at $300 but I bought one at Angolz for $200 and it is definitely worth it. Quote
wraith1701 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 So; does the SOC Big-O have piston-action arms? And are the pistons diecast or plastic? Quote

Hot Wheels cars have more metal! Articulation sucks Plastic feels cheap Need to pay extra for expansion pack that should be included......... SOC joke ! Overpriced! Really? It looks good in the photos though... I would like to see more metal since that is one of the main reason I buy/like SOC. Edited October 25, 2009 by macrossnake Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Well the newer EVAs have almost no metal in them either, but look at the Big O. Imagine if that things arms (for example) were metal, it'd be a saggy floppy mess you couldn't pose in just a few months. Not to mention it is one of the only Big O products available if you like the mech. I'd really like to pick one up, but I have to be pretty picky about purchases as we get into the holidays. Quote

Yeah but the evas were acceptable and under the SOC spec line. But this has next to nothing in Metal. Fine dont add it to the arms but a small bit of the underside of the hip skirt, the bottom of the feet, small part of the chest, angles and thats it???? For 150 dollars I think you can give me more Im not a fan of the mech as much as a fan of the mech and metal If I knew it was going to have this little metal I would have spend my money on the transforming mazinger thanks Quote
nugundamII Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 So; does the SOC Big-O have piston-action arms? And are the pistons diecast or plastic? Yes they have springs but it doesnt fire anything..??? maybe the expansion pack? Quote
eriku Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 If I knew it was going to have this little metal I would have spend my money on the transforming mazinger thanks The transforming Mazinger has barely any metal as well. And poor articulation. While the fist mode is cool, the toy is pretty disappointing overall. I'll actually be putting mine up for sale soon. Quote

I'll actually be putting mine up for sale soon. yep... i was all set on getting this but due to the lack of diecast and poor articulation i decided not to get the GX-49... good thing coz the MaxGokin Mazinkaiser will be re-issued (pre-ordered!!! )... good thing i didn't drop the $300+ asking price for the last one i saw earlier this year...

Give me an offer and Wow what is happening to Bandai is this because of the downturn and therefore to save costs they are adding less metal and posable joints Edited October 26, 2009 by nugundamII Quote

nugundamII Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 same here, looking forward to the re-issued Max gokin Mazinkaiser very much. whoa Nice How much is that??? 200 US? Quote
VFTF1 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Say what you will, but I've got my sights set on that Mazinger that transforms into the fist of doom. I think that's awesome. Pete Quote
m0n5t3r Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 same here, looking forward to the re-issued Max gokin Mazinkaiser very much. yep! rumors have been flying around since last year that a re-issue was coming, but never materialized up until now... i'm soooo glad i didn't get any of the Aoshima kaisers too... http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX07004 although, i think AE has the cheapest online pre-order price for this...

Thanks Edited October 27, 2009 by nugundamII Quote
VFTF1 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Blue Patlabor at the very bottom. The Macross Quarter - from what I've seen - is going to be very, very VERY awesome. The PG OO Raiser should definitely be first on the list though. Next the Quarter. Max Mazinger and Patlabor...not so much. Pete Your Friendly Anime Addiction Prioritization Service Telling you which drug to take first thing in the morning since 2007! Quote

Pete Your Friendly Anime Addiction Prioritization Service Telling you which drug to take first thing in the morning since 2007! Thanks So 1. Quarter 2. PG 00 Raiser but why the Labour. You dont think its a good buy? Since its a Yammy are there QC issues? Quote
VFTF1 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 but why the Labour. You dont think its a good buy? Since its a Yammy are there QC issues? I think the labour isn't a priority because it's blue. Do you have the original white one in 1:24 scale? I'd say that's enough. Why would you want the blue one? I haven't seen Patlabor (yet) so I guess I wouldn't know... But I always liked the Griffon design...and the Broken... maybe better to wait for those in 1:24 scale. Plus - look at your unhappiness with Big O. Trust me - I've been there - it's called impulse buying. It's hard to avoid - but you just have to really think about what matters for you. Recently, I've made a list, and it looks like this: 1. I like way to many anime to have it all - therefore, I need to be selective 2. Gundam? Well - I like MSG, Turn-A and Unicorn. Turn-A and Unicorn have like a couple mecha each. MSG has three main mecha and the enemy mecha. I want them all in MG. I will probably end up having Unicorn in HG as well because of the Kyashukia. Fine. 3. Gurren Lagann - nothing but Revoltechs - so Revoltechs they shall be. 4. NGE - Revoltech Fraulein and SOC Spec. RAH for Shinji. Not sure if I want to keep a pair of the 2.0s...probably not since I love the original 26 episodes best of all. 5. Macross - everything - because there actually is NOT a lot of it. The most is SDFM TV + DYRL. 6. Transformers - I have to think about this. Maybe once I get rid of my collection, I'll hunt down some MPs? I dunno. Really hard to decide what to do with these guys. 7. Haruhi Suzumiya - all the Figmas and Revoltechs 8. SOC - now SOC is great because it focuses a lot on one-mecha programs. So Ideon, Zambot 3, Dancouga, God Mars, Daimos...one big all mighty mecha... you get that one - and you're SET. The key is not to get petty - don't think you need to get ALL of the various incarnations of Mazinkaiser etc... Just pick the best one... Also ,pick the one whose friends are in relative good scale... It's hard work being a collector...so much to choose from, so much... Pete Quote

I like way to many anime to have it all - therefore, I need to be selective- Me Too and since transformers is a little dead now with nothing but crap designs my sites and loves have turned to other plastic addictions 2. Gundam? Well - I like MSG, Turn-A and Unicorn. Turn-A and Unicorn have like a couple mecha each. MSG has three main mecha and the enemy mecha. I want them all in MG. I will probably end up having Unicorn in HG as well because of the Kyashukia. Fine. I would like to suggest to wait. I know that they will release the Kyshatria in MG class. They are releasing the Unicorn in MCFFC and if its like the MCFFC 1/100 I have then it will be worthwhile. I know they will release a Full Metallic coating Sinanju like the Sazabi MG class which im eagerly waiting. They will release the MG Kshatriya. Be patient with Unicorn Franchise. This is Bandai's big ticket Also I normally wasnt into Seed mecha but after getting the Lighting Strike Freedom. They are really nice Mechs I have heard wonderful reviews for MG Sword Impulse, Full Burst Strike Freedom and Destiny 3. Gurren Lagann - nothing but Revoltechs - so Revoltechs they shall be. -Always-and Eva! 4. NGE - Revoltech Fraulein and SOC Spec. RAH for Shinji. Not sure if I want to keep a pair of the 2.0s...probably not since I love the original 26 episodes best of all. -Really not into figures of Humans since im a Mecha Person and more transforming mecha 5. Macross - everything - because there actually is NOT a lot of it. The most is SDFM TV + DYRL. -Yes 6. Transformers - I have to think about this. Maybe once I get rid of my collection, I'll hunt down some MPs? I dunno. Really hard to decide what to do with these guys. -Keep them. They do have value. Especially the G1 and their Reissued counterparts. As i have stated before there are gems from each line. Even the movie lines have some nice figures ala HA New Mold Prime, Mixmaster, the new Leader SS and some from the first movie two like ratchet and Ironhide. Classics!!! and yes GET ALL THE MPs as well as the THS. 7. Haruhi Suzumiya - all the Figmas and Revoltechs -Not into human figures 8. SOC - now SOC is great because it focuses a lot on one-mecha programs. So Ideon, Zambot 3, Dancouga, God Mars, Daimos...one big all mighty mecha... you get that one - and you're SET. I have all on your list except Zambot, God Mars and Daimos which dont appeal to me The key is not to get petty - don't think you need to get ALL of the various incarnations of Mazinkaiser etc... Just pick the best one... Ill try but everyyone says this MAx one is good. And its A LOT cheaper than the one by FEWTURE Also ,pick the one whose friends are in relative good scale... thats next to impossible It's hard work being a collector...so much to choose from, so much... yeah I was pretty good until I joined MW which i got totally sidetracked from transformers but ig a good way oh and i forgot to mention the blue labor is cheaper than the white one. I already have the white wave and CM's so something different. But i need to be careful how much i buy at once so i will need to go in bits Edited October 27, 2009 by nugundamII Quote
