Ok I know absolutely nothing about this figure but he looks kinda cool and I am thinking of adding him to my collection. He has been up there in price for a while but recently is on sale at HLJ though the shipping is crazy but still cheaper then I have seen it anywhere else. It is apparently humongus but i dont know much about it www.hlj.com/product/ALA26004My question is how is this figure, any one have one, any reviews anywhere? Is this going to fall apart as soon as i try to manipulate it in anyway? How poseable is it or is it just a giant paper weight? Any guidance would be greatly apperciated.

I just received mine from HLJ this morning ! One word : heaviest ! It's the one I got with the most diecast parts on it ! It's a huge boy ! It comes with a lot of weapons : - 2 different guns - 1 giant shuriken - 1 double-twisted spear - 1 sword - a kind of... giant and large sword... - a second head with energy "wave" (like horse hair on top of helmet) - 1 pair of close fist - 6 different hands - 1 diecast statue of pilot - wings and tail - display stand. It's not so poseable as a Soc and paint job is... hand made. But it worth the HLJ sale price.

The design looks REALLY cool (especially that fan-like wing-cape), but considering that HLJ will charge nearly $100 to ship it... yikes.

Who or what is it? Looks FiveStar Stories-ish...

I never noticed the "weener" on this model before. Interesting detail.

..What's up with the face?

The face is a demon with an enraged smile ! (Heavy metal baby !) Both heads got the gimmick, but you can cover it with a transparency visor (2 in package).
You are right 00silvergt, the design is a mix between Five star stories and Armored Core. -> It works.

Nice! I'd like to see some more pictures, maybe with it's weapons and with other figures for say size reference if that's possible. If HLJ has it for sale I might buy one if I like it enough.

You need to check out the DEMONBANE series. It is pretty cool. I got one of these Demonbane figures a while back from hobby search - on sale too. Huge box, big and heavy figure. You do need to be careful with the waist connector, because it is plastic and will break if you hold the figure wrong (flying it around the house)...

I can see what you mean by "home made" paint. It looks like a basic flat latex. Metallic would have been nice, or at least somekind of enamel finish, but the robot itself looks cool.

Hi guy,
Like to ask is this figure worth USD130 include shipping? Consider getting it since i like demonbane figure a lot.
Thanks

Considering the original selling price is nearly double that without shipping, I would have to say "yes" regardless.

It's a pretty cool figure. Rough around the edges but undeniably sweet in terms of size and diecast content. I'd say it's worth $130, yeah, as long as you like the design.

It's very big. A bit over 9" tall but with the cape thing it's super wide. A lot of diecast in it as well.
