Thanks for the positive feedback pals The figure itself is not inherently bad, it's a decent diecast toy. There are some things which I don't like much, as I feel that they could've been done better, but overall I don't regret buying it. It's just.. that it should've been cheaper. You don't get what you pay for, know what I'm saying? Just my opinion.

NO, I told you it was real stiff when I got it, I added some veggie oil to its knees and elbows, then accidently added some to the hip. I wish I hadn't though because it smoothed out on its own real quick anyway. To me, the figure is just like Gin Gin but without the saw blades. I didn't have any paint issues on mine, inside of my saucer looks normal, doesn't look like his. If anyone has a problem with their figure just send a message to HL Pro on their facebook and they will take care of it. I haven't said much about the figure outside that video I made a few weeks ago because it just is what it is. A figure like Gin Gin and big ol flying saucer. I took a second look at mine and I don't have any of the issues he has with his, I would contact HLpro with it.

also, that line going down the middle of the neck.. mine doesn't have that.. Id contact them, that's a limited and it should be perfect.
I also looked for red marks on his legs, I don't have any but I did find a tiny one on his neck where the jaw hit during shipping.. not a big deal I will just polish it out... these are shipping issues , they must be tossing these things around a lot during shipping.

Thanks but no, I think I'll just keep mine. As I said, I'm mostly satisfied with the figure, no need to send it back. That line that goes through the neck is probably on any Roboizer out there. But I think it's harder to notice on regular ones, the paint does a better job hiding it. I'd say it's because the metallic one reflects the incoming light better, and there's a "discrepancy" in the reflections once it gets to the line. Kind of like a cracked mirror. Did a quick search for images of Roboizer, the ones that came up show that the line is there, it's not just my copy. Some are just less noticeable than other, but the line is always there. Check the following pics: In the second photograph it's harder to see, but you can still spot the vertical line in the neck. Which by the way, is the same kind of line that Roboizer has on the sides of his legs, no different.

yeah ok.. its totally invisible on my regular release. Im pretty sure the photos you are showing are of a hand painted prototype.. is your paint texture like that? see the spray marks on the chest and legs in the photo? Is yours like that? mine isn't like that. its totally smooth, like it was molded in color.

Baron, don't sweat it. We all know HLPro is a third rate company that puts out third rate gokins - and take a very LONG time to do so. They had great customer service when I had issues with my Giru-Giru, but I don't know if it's still the same these days. Still, at least they've released some obscure super robot characters, which is a good thing. }D

Is yours like that? mine isn't like that. its totally smooth, like it was molded in color. Mine looks better, no problems with texture quality on my copy. Maybe.. it has to do with misalignment of the pieces that form the neck. Even a slight error when gluing the two halves together would result in a noticeable separation between them. Even more so if the lighting, combined with the reflective metallic paint, gives the impression that the grey on the left side is different from the grey on the right one. Nevermind. As I said, I like the figure, even with all the little imperfections.

you said the red nose of the Flying Tiger isn't fitting right, can you show me what you are talking about? I doubt I'd be able to get it on camera, it's such a narrow slit.. The red nose fits onto a rectangular peg, which can also connect to the regular yellow piece of hull that you'd use to display the spacer without Roboizer inside. The point is, while that yellow piece of plastic fits perfectly well, the red nose has too tiny an entrance underneath, and you really need to push it in hard to place it properly. Sort of. Because no matter how much you push on mine, that peg on the saucer widens a bit near the bottom. The plastic of the red nose is not flexible, so it stops half a millimeter (more or less) from the black ring in the middle of the spacer. Mind, it doesn't cause problems of any sort, the two halves still join together perfectly well. Plus, it's unnoticeable from above, you'd have to pick the thing up and look carefully to see the small opening. I'd probably break or crack the piece if I pushed it down any stronger.

mine went flat, I saw what you were talking about though.. I just took the black disk out of there and pressed it hard and it went down further on the peg... I looked at the peg and the hole afterward and I think it was either paint on the peg or maybe the hole itself in the red nose had been slightly too tight. Just take the black disk out and push it down on the peg.. then put it all back together.

Tom it's when the saw blade is on it's not as thick as the black disc I guess making the hole bigger may help or forcing the hell out of it.Its not a bad toy it's just not as well executed especially paint wise.Future offerings will have a plastic bag around the body and legs Ive suggested it to the powers that be to avoid the red paint issues.

mine came with plastic bags around everything.. yours didn't? They probably could wrap some small ones around the fists, that would stop it. I guess the way mine was wrapped kept the fists from hitting legs bc mine is spotless.
You don't have to push down hard, just take the black disk off and push the red nose down on the peg.. it will size itself. I think it was just a bit too tight that's all.. its normal break-in stuff. Same with the knees elbows and shoulders.. and feet too.. it all that starts to smooth out.
Its basically Gin Gin.. the only thing I would change is to make that hip joint a "clicky" joint... and that may show up after Zmazinger.. the joint they are using now could easily be modified to "click"..I bet that will show up before long.. and some rotation, I bet that will show up before long also.

Yes mine came with bags but they don't stop fists from hitting neither did chachis or mech flash . They will be using separate bags from now on for arms or one for each half of body due to my suggestion
