Getta Robo G (Dragun) looks really good! But like I said, magnetic joints on non-magnetic super robot characters, makes me sad... }D

That bust looks pretty good I wonder how big and how much. The Barattack and Grendizer look like they may be part of the S line so their gonna be small. The others look good but magnetic joints are a no go for me especially at ET prices. I do like the sculpts though and would love to get the Michiru Lady Command machine though.

I was going to say the same thing but forgot Chen!! Have to get Dragon especially for the Michiru ship,and only If I can get a loose version of her other ship from the Getter GX06M Ill be all set!
Just wondering WHO sculpts for ET? that Dragon and all the rest are just perfect! Bandai needs to do all the SOCs over with this sculptor!

I dislike all the magnetic joints. Most of the time, they are simply lazy and cheap engineering design. However, Great Mazinger head is the one I look forward to.

Chachi from rocketpucharmy reviewed the Mach Baron.. said he "wasn't feeling it".. its all plastic too not good for the price they want for it. Sure does look good though.

For me its not about the quality,we all know Et stuff i subpar,with the exception of albegas.Gaiking I thought and still is one of the worst toys Ive ever handled. For me its about the characters,NO WAY would these rare characters come out with such speed and ferocity if this company were not around.Im sticking with ET as i know the rest of the SRs I need will be released by them,Stoked for daikengo..and Im sure Godam and Diapolon will be coming along...Possibly God mazinger too.I really could give a crap about the cost,having these much needed characters outweighs cost for me.Quality also plays second fiddle to having modern renditions of these SRs. But im hoping they get better,and magnets dissapear soon,one thing they got going is teh magnets are less and less visible on the robots,tucked under knees etc. Also a huge plus is the sculpts,Et toys majority of sculpts are better than any major or minor company doing 70s/80s stuff including {sorry}Bandai,CMs,and HLPro.They look like the anime,and they are perfectly proportioned,that and the rareness of characters overshadows the cons in the end for me.And they pull off combiners! Check out Daikengo,he does vehicles modes and large spaceship mode!

As much as I like the sculpts, the magnetic joint gimmick kill most of the ET releases for me. Their outrageous prices for these pre-assembled "plastic model" action figures is totally unjustified as well. No wonder why ET is said to be part of CMS... They both want crszy money for their stuff! But at least CMS uses some diecast in their figures. Not so with ET... }D

Last time I checked the ball magnets were made out of metal.

In TOTAL agreement,Id be even happier if CMs released Diapolon,but people just cant get by this Grendizer fiasco,and me and you both would love Diapolon,even non transforming.Not many people have all the cMS classic robiots,and only know this Grendizer.I have every CMs entry and even alot of variation colors too,CMs will get over this. Acrobunch could redeem them,even if he uisnt a super loved character,I LOVE him,and I hope CMs does a great job on him if he does see the light of day.And if they continue in the more obscure direction,Ill be even haappier.Sucks they lost the Godam rights,Im dieing to replace my SD Godam with the real deal.

CMS screwed themselves hard with Grendizer. There is no defending that. They hit it out of the park with Jeeg, no question about it. However, all their other truly significant releases, including Gordian, Baldios, Goshogun, GaoGaiGars, etc, always had at least a couple of flaws that could have been prevented pretty easily. I for one will not buy from CMS again until I see reviews of their products. No way, no how!

I would actually be interested in getting that Mach Baron if it were say HALF the cost.. its a good looking figure. I just think they want too much for it.
I just got a bad feeling that CM isn't doing too good right now as a business.. but we talked about that already. I think they got financially over stretched.

Incoming in August for 10,000 Yen. Next up will be Maz and Pileder. There also seems to be an action gimmick in the c0ckpit just like in the cartoons. Gold

Yep, just like in the anime, the Brain Condor has a gyroscopic pivoting cockpit. The cockpit pivots to a seated horizontal position as the Condor docks in a vertical position. Try that with a Jaguar Convertible, driving over a cliff. zozo-mag
