TMZ do you have measurements on these? I finally got my metal action zero tester and it was tiny. No bigger than a Popy ST diecast robot (5-6").

No, I don't have them yet. But looking at the Bandai SOP Mazinger Head between them, I can say they are pretty big. }D

Just measured it. The SOP Mazinger Z head is 6.5 inches tall. So, the ET Mazinger Z head is at the 5 inch mark. }D

Just a few hours ago, I was going to create a thread, discussing the differences between the GX-01X Mazinger head and the upcoming ET one. But it would have been more a "which one you prefer" kind of thing, as I didn't have any real info about the new bust(s), and I didn't know about this pic yet. Well, it's completely unneccesary now, thanks for the image TMZ About the heads... their sculpts are great, I like them way more than the SoP one, honestly. If I'm not mistaken, these 2 new busts have working LED eyes, right? And they're metal??? Wow, they should be hefty, I'm liking the idea. Also, they ain't much smaller than the SoP head, I was afraid they were gonna be even smaller. Glad they're not

LOL... just lucky I guess. I don't think they have LED eyes thou. They do claim to have metal, but I have no idea what the metal content or location is. Should be getting mine in a few days. I'll post more info then. Also, the Zero Tester was the first entry in the Metal Action line. Some pics of it would be nice as well. }D

I'll wait for more info once you get yours then I wasn't even interested in that 0-tester ship because... it's a ship. Of a show I didn't watch. And it's a ship. The same reason why I won't buy SoCs Yamato, Andromeda or Arcadia, right now I'm more interested in robots. Glad that ET decided to make these 2 busts, they look neat, great to place on your table at work/home. Hehe. Who knows, maybe now that ET started working with diecast, we'll see a new line of robot figures in the future, from ET: no more plastic and magnetic balls, but serious gokin toys we'll see, we'll see.

Also, the Zero Tester was the first entry in the Metal Action line. Some pics of it would be nice as well. I actually put some together for bt1 and KingboyD the other night. I kind of gave it a scathing review...honestly I was a little disappointed in the overall quality and size for the price.

Also TMZ the eyes are transparent and the promo shot makes it look as if they light up see the GM pic above...?

It is funny that Japanese retailers like HLJ and Anime-Export have both Brain Condor and Jet Pielder in stock. While AmiAmi barely got Brain Condor in stock, and still has the Jet Pielder on pre-order.
And Baron these busts do not have LEDs. The picture that you are referring to in photoshoped.

Just to mention that there are no LED light up eyes for these two ET. Nice comparison pics.

I think that they originally planned to add LED, but then decided to not go thru. Cost cutting.

Are the ships mostly diecast too? That would be sweet!

Yeah. I got mine today and the heads, while very nicely sculpt, do feel like cheap plastic. The eyes can't have LEDs, because they are actually sitting way too high, and end up inside the docking area of the head. Basically, there is no way to "light" them. The Pileders are bad ass thou! Very NICE!!! Overall, they are nice pieces, especially if you got them at the pre-order prices. }D

Well, at least the pileder and the condor are metal, and the heads are very nicely sculpted not too shabby Better than the PX-01X. Bandai gave us a sad Mazinger Z, hehe. ET ones are smaller, but better looking.
