Congrats that's a very nice figure, never got it because I'm just a average Jeeg fan but a friend has one and its a really solid piece much better then the EV stuff. Thanks Chen! Yea I'm at work now and it's torture! I just want to go home and open this thing!! Grrr :/

It is a lot more quality for the money that the Evolution Toy one, but stop hating Chen! ;D Actually, I'm happy they are not the same version/design. That way I can tell myself I have two different figures. Now, one thing the ET Jeeg wins over the CM's is that... it can kneel! ;D }D Can it kneel because its plastic and lighter so the joints hold tighter?

How long dose it usually take to get an item from AE? My jeeg shipped last Tue and the tracking hasn't updated since in left Japan.

I havent posted pics yet, but I did get a chance to play around with my jeeg this morning for like 20 minutes. My first thoughts: - Ive never had a magnetic gokin..I LOVE IT - Beautiful sculpt and proportions, very show accurate - Nice diecast content, has quite a bit of heft - Strong magnets! - The shoulder magnet joint is brilliant engineering. The plastic ridges in the shoulder is my only concern - metal against plastic is not good. Im guessing it will wear that down over time. best not to clicky up/down, better to take off the shoulderthen put back in where you want it - The ball magnet on the shoulder came off. not a big deal will super glue it - I think I have the same hand falling off issue that is rampant but Im pretty sure its all Jeegs - its just how its built. I'll try that fix-it solution later. Overall - love it. Very happy. Wish I bought it back then when it came out :/

I thought it was going to be EMS but is was shipped out by SGX. Never had an Item shipped with them that's why I was wondering since EMS would have been here by now.

Wish I bought it back then when it came out :/ Listen up,the magnet came off the elbow on my Jeeg,the only thing that will hold for good is a 2 part epoxy,TRUST ME.Super glue WILL NOT hold metal to plastic,it may,but pull it apart 3 times and its done.The hand issue is touchy on all Jeegs,the fix it method is a godsend,it takes about 6 minutes to do,and it is worth all 360 seconds of your life!

Thanks so much for the advice baron! whew, thats why I love RJ - great advice and helpful peeps I have mixed feelings about the hand issue because you have to take the little piece out to shoot the fists. I think its a weak spring thats cuasing the problem. Maybe a more permanent solution is to open the forearm up and replace the spring? what do you guys think?

The shooting hand is a 'given' weakness for this figure. from my experience there is no 100% perfect figure. But since I didn't play a lot with my figures, they're just standing on my shelf (and I change the pose like once a month), I don't really care much bout the hand problem. The look and the style of the figure itself is already make me happy after years waiting for a release of a decent Koutetsu Jeeg chogokin figure

holy crap jeegs forearm magnets are super strong...they are why i now need glue for the elbow metal ball that came off. I could barely pry it out of the forearm, luckily my girl friend is much stronger than me

Wait... The shoulder steel ball came off first and now the elbow one came off as well? Bro, I'm afraid you got a "lemon" Jeeg in your hands. }|

Its not uncommon for a couple of those metal balls came off. Happened to mine a couple times. Nothing superglue can't fix. They were glued on to begin with, as you can see the residue where the metal ball pegged on. The pulling from the magnets are pretty strong and glue is known to not work that well on metal, especially smooth metal. Just a small drop of superglue will fix any of those. No worries.
