Ok If I owned ANY kind of toy company Id hire a small staff of QC people to test every joint and paint app etc before ANY piece left teh factory,if it was 1000s of units,Id have more staff.How many people could it take?How hard could it be to train each one to a specific toy? Customers come first,satisfaction wise,think ahead companies about reviews,word of mouth on the web etc etc.should be 101 stuff!

I'm glad to hear there are well built samples out there. I unfortunately found another problem with mine. I found the red lion's tail to be crooked and discovered that the area around the pin was broken. I still really like the figure overall, but these issues are adding up. Time to make another request...........

I posted that review on the last page I actually like the review with all the sound effects I downloaded it just now with my FF browser plugin, I'll watch it offline tonight after work. I'm a sucker for Japanese sound effects. zozo-mag

And, if I owned a toy company- my collection would be SO beyond complete I'd have to start a Robot-Japan website annex to display it all. zozo-mag

*Note: I have no idea if the Black Lion's flashlight Cannons work, as I don't have any batteries for them at this time. They do feel super cheap thou, like the $0.99 store plastic toys feel. I hope they work... }D

Awesome pictures TheMazingerZ. I still have to check my King. I got it on Monday, and I still have not opened the box. I better do it tonight or tomorrow.

I think am going to pass for now but am I the only one that thinks KOB has Popeye arms?
Since I don't personally have one in hand and can only see the pics, a corn cob pipe and some forearm anchor tattoos are missing here. Otherwise I think the scale is good on the rest of the figure.
If the shoulders would have been slimmed up just a bit.....the color blocking of the shoulders draws my eye to the issue vs the MP version from Toyn***.

The king is absolutely awesome! Save for my red lion he's pretty much perfect! For MT first attempt at a figure they certainly knocked it out of the ball park! I certainly hope to see them return to the gohkin world with a hopefully more accessible character. Three of the best representations of my childhood!

Yeah, the Red Lion's waist was tight. However, the Green Lion's was normal. So I figured they both turned. }D

Newly adjusted Super Robot display: Out of the box mine had no issues. After a bit of a play, both magnets in the face plates got sucked right off by the other magnet in the black lion's mouth! I super glued them back and it's all good now. Damn strong magnets! And secondly, my red head started to not lock in after firing. I was pretty concerned, but some fiddling with the spring and, well now it won't come out at all! Better in than out... stupid gimmick, would have much preferred wrist articulation. Negativity aside, this has got to be one of the nicest pieces in my collection. The joints are so solid, the paint immaculate (i love the deep glossy black), and the somewhat modernised design and proportions works incredibly well in person. He just looks great! The only changes i would have made apart from wrists, would have been for a slightly more vibrant green, and to include number decals - might have to make my own My Miracle VV is one of the first so has a few issues, but i love it and thought it was about as good as you could hope for - and no doubt the harder piece to engineer with 15 piece. In some regards it's still better, like the shoulder articulation. But overall, KOB shows that VV could have been even better. They go together great as is though, and my wallet is hurting enough, so here's hoping nothing better than either of them comes along in the near future!
