CM's are just so damn expensive compared to the competition I know there not Bandai but still. I kinda wish Aoshima still made diecast robots a Grendizer from them would have a load of metal minimal accessories and be reasonably priced. And being Aoshima there would be a ton of re-paints.

I always wanted Aoshima to make the Mazingers and Grendizer. I love their sculpts and sheer amounts of heavy diecast goodness - and their prices are very reasonable. }D

Don't be get to enthused about anything til you actually have him in your hands. +1 on this, I can already imagine the Spacer having the same type of plastic as CM's MAS Mechander Robo... But I would love to see how CM's would do the Grendizer, since it's been done by several companies already. Gold

after what they've done with JEEG, it could be awesome ! a lot of accessories, the spacers, even new ones ( aqua bike ?, cosmic spacers ...)

It's too bad CMs quality is usually awful.

I have to say that CM's pretty much redeemed themselves with the Koutetsu Jeeg and the Big Shooter. If they keep that up, I have no doubt their future releases will be as good as Bandai's (since Bandai is using less and less diecast with each passing SOC release). }D

It's too bad CMs quality is usually awful. UMMMM NOT! What CM's are you speaking of?Goshogun is one of the BEST Modern Gohkins out there qualty wise!Gyakuten Oh and Sankhan Oh's quality are REMARKABLE, Gordian is Great,Tekkaman/Pegas is great,the Time Bokans are OUTSTANDING,Jeeg,Big Shooter is heavy Gohkin GREAT!,Gakken is wonderful!!! Baldios has very cool Gattai and paint,take alook at the quality of the Time Bokan insects,those are VERY well made,painted and have awesome diecast.What just because Barattack has floppy legs and Mekander is plastic CMS is bad???and maybe two others are so-so,but that statement is unfounded.And BTW SOC has many more boring outings and useless robots than the interesting items from CMS for sure!

Genesic Gaogaigar DX Brave Genesic Gaogaigar Gakeen Mospeada Ride Armor series God Rajin Oh DX Barattack Patlabor Ingram Zero CM's is always a gamble, especially if there is any technical engineering involved, and their figures are often really expensive for their size and metal content. I don't hate them or anything, it's just that their quality often sucks. Sorry.

I have the GGGG, GGG, Gakeen, and until very recent the Barattack out of the list above. While I've read reports of broken knees and weak magnets on these respectively, the ones I have (had) were perfectly fine. I didn't really play or transformed them much, other than a pose here and there, so maybe that's why they haven't broke yet. I did have some concerns with the thin plastic used on the Proteser's biceps in the Gordian set, but they are still holding up fine as well. Overall, I can't say that anything has broken off, no matter if it did look like cheap plastic was ised in manufactoring... }D

I've heard GGG is fine, but I got rid of my version 1.0 GGGG two years ago because it's such a sloppy transformation process where the joints were always in danger when putting him together. The GGGG DX is just straight up defective engineering, which is a shame considering that people forked out $600 retail for that thing.
From what has been reported on Gakeen and Barattack it seems to depend on what accessories and/or poses you try to do with them. The CollectionDX review shows the problems with Gakeen, and somebody here did a full report on Barattack and he seemed to have weaker magnets than Gakeen.

I have to say Gakeen is decent but Baldios just plain blows, looks good but when you have trouble making it even stand straight then you know you have major design flaws.

I have the Bokan robots and Goshogun and they are amazing toys on the flip side the Mospeada stuff, Linebarrels, Tetsukyojin are average at best. But like every line not every figure can be s homerun.
