So I don't have to "Guyver" with these then? According to Chen, that is the correct battery #. Do you It will be a perfect fit ? It should be. If you want just wait a bit for mine to arrive and then I'll let you know. My MB robot is in the vicinity according to the tracking number and my batteries are on their way too since yesterday. I should have everything by the weekend, I hope

The only batteries I could find were size AG4/377 which are to small. I'm not worried though since I don't like to keep batteries in my toys so I'll just take them out in a bit.

Hi Zman So I don't have to "Guyver" with these then? Do you It will be a perfect fit ? I got mine yesterday so that was 14 days total for SAL (Japan to California). Here's the box (CD for size reference ;D) Inner tray Now here's the battery compartment. The LR41s were perfect. Note: Pull battery cover outwards, NOT upwards! Big bro SoC and Lil bro MB Gokin Light up feature

I'm so jealous..
Now, where's mine?!? I'm at So Cal too. My payment went through 9/28!
Well, it did say it takes 2 to 5 weeks for SAL....I guess I have to wait bit longer for mine.
The batteries I ordered on Ebay (Thanks Zman for the tip) might arrive earlier then Getter..

Well, here he is! A cute little guy with rest of his family. Here's my humble "review" as promised. Pros: He's heavy with around 40 to 50% die cast. Chest, upper arms, hip, hip joints and lower legs are all die cast, wow. The lighting gimmick works great! It has on and off push button on the back of the head. It takes three LR41(192) batteries. Thanks Zman for the info. He has double joints on his elbows and neck. He has a jointed "mullet" on back of he's neck ;D His chest has clear parts. Man, These attention to details goes a long~ way. The paint apps are just about perfect. The package was done well. Graphics make the buyer easy to understand about the toy. Nicely done! As a greenie, I always appreciate the lack of styro, but the fresh smell of PVC when I first open the box wasn't so green or healthy.... Cons: He's back heavy... There're no clicky joints as Chen mentioned. He's knee joints are very VERY limited. Knees are on ball joints....a big con in my book. The left knee is already loose and falls a part pretty easily.. He's forearms are not painted..it's red plastic just like his hands. The battery cover was on pretty tight. so Please use caution when removing it the first time. I'm really REALLY happy overall with the figure. Is he worth around $90 shipped? If you're Getter guy or has a thing for die cast like me, then , Heck yeah! Go Get one before it sells out. Now please, release Groizer or Mazinger 40th Anni( they just released as a resin Kit) as a MB Gokin line. Lastly, please PLEASE re-engineer the knee joints.

Wish it was closer to the size of the Fewture SD Getter 1, but it still looks very cool. The other family portrait ;D
