Back in the 80’s and early 90’s they had that great mix of trash and treasure. Now it’s just trash more than anything unfortunately. But I remember the good old days of finding so much odd stuff that you weren’t sure what to spend the cash on.

MegaHouse is re-releasing Variable Action Hi-Spec ORGUSS. Display shown during Summer 2023 Hobby Manufacturer Merchandise Showcase. Price and release date to be determined.

I'm trying to decide whether to hold out for the MegaHouse reissue or to just get the Hi-Metal version now. Can anyone that has seen both in person chime in? I'm wondering how the size/cost and quality/cost ratios between the two compare.

100%. These days, all the vendors are carrying the same crap (iPhone cases, etc). Back in the 80s, you can get some cool Taiwan goodies!

I never saw the in the U.S. when they were dubbed. Maybe it was just for a vhs release. But since they didn’t finish the series dubbing I only watched the subtitles version. In fact the first time I saw the show it was a bad subtitle version, so this was definitely an upgrade. I wouldn’t mind if they did a decent dub since I’d rather watch than read especially since the animation looks great for the most part.

I watched Orguss back in the 80s on 3rd generation vhs copies with no subs.  I was still able to follow the overall story and become very invested in the characters by the last episode, which has a unique ending to say the least.  You’ll enjoy it.

Thank you.

Thank you. 

 

sad that this release is so poorly done, not bothering to ask TMS for a rescan, just the old terrible JP bluray masters, with all grain and scratched scrubbed, an absolutely terrible way to release a show

Is KITZ actually making this?! 

[jenius]

They haven't even released a normal GBP so nothing official yet.

It is too bad that none of the toys have hatches that can be opened to reveal missiles.

[jenius]

Look mom, no hands! That's some cool art though.

[glane21]

Wow, I never knew a Super Orguss design existed, that’s awesome!  Now I want a set of that armor. One of you 3D printer guys should hop on that idea.

[Shawn]

Unfortunately it is just fan made-not canon

but still cool

Magazine scan of MegaHouse Variable Hi-Spec ORGUSS reissue. March 2024 release. Y41800.

In case anyone is wondering how much it was back in 2015, it was priced at Y38500 (Japan tax included).

[MKT]

That is actually not too bad a price, if considering it is just a small increase from back then.

But is it worth double the HMR’s price?

Megahouse Reissue.

[DownIsUp]

I've never seen any reviews of the Megahouse figure before, can anyone who has one let me know how it holds up 8 years later?

HMR Orguss opened for 16000 JPY.  The HMR turned out to be an excellent toy.

[Sandman]

Yes! Finally able to get the megahouse version. Though on further thought i wonder if i even care? The hi-metal may be enough Orguss for me. Anyone have both? Is the Megahouse substantially better than the hi-metal?

Personally, I think the hmr looks better. The megahouse one looks a bit scrawny to me

Can we change the title to Orguss WAS back?  That will keep me from getting too excited every time this comes back from the dead.

You don't have to come here. If You dislike it. Orguss still has fans.

This Orguss item is an oddity. It's some kind of bag. Made with thick plastic.
