4 years??? no... It went into production as soon as Fewture bought it and that was maybe 8-9 months ago I think. When a distributor buys it, it gets made. Its pre-sold in Japan so fast that Fewture wanted more of them and they decided to up the packaging. Its the exact same figure as far as I know.. I know they corrected paint on the Tiger... but as far as I know the only problem with Gattiger is that there wasn't enough of them.. that's why it got pushed back what? 5 months?
Zmaz and the Condor aren't far away either probably..

Are you trying to say we've only been waiting 8 months is that what your gonna do Tom do you think we are all idiots here do you!!!!!I'm talking when the toy was first announced in 2013!!!!!! You have the balls to make it look like it's only been 8 months this is why no one likes you or your buddies.Do you not remember saying the toys were finished and sent to fewture you can't even remember you tell so many stories So over this.

2013 was when it was announced that the design was done to the distributors.. but no one ordered it until Fewture did later on. Ive been over this a million times with you. You just have an axe to grind with Hlpro that's all.
The first batch WAS done on time, but fewture pre-sold them in like 2 weeks so they held up the release and ordered more of them.. they also decided to make better packaging.. I KNOW you don't want that to be true but it is..
now stop trying to make this into something personal.. its just a figure. If you don't like it, don't order it.

It got personal when your pals tried getting me thrown off here because they cant handle criticism,and you report everything we say here back to them like a good little puppy.End of my replies,next time it will just be my toy review when I have anything to say about this toy,not worth argueing with you as you always have some excuse.Your not even really a part of this community,you pop in and out only on HLPro threads and are not even a collector really.Your right its only a toy so why do you even bother.The majority of these threads is just you and I no one else even cares really about this convaluted stuff,just the toy and when it finally comes out,all this is is hot air.now IM GONE here in this thread.

Fewture rebooted the launch to maximize the sales.. from a business standpoint it was a excellent decision and they did a fantastic job at selling them. My hat is off to Fewture.

Guys guys i understand this was going on way before i even joined but this need to stop
we should not say any thing wasn't released by the official manufacturers and we should also put what ever they did behind us i mean come on are we going to get mad our whole life for some thing happened ages ago
its not good for any one, not for us as members and not for the forum reputation
cant we just put every thing behind us and start a new page ? for our sake not any one else
EDIT

i can understand why some members here are upset. i do. especially when i put down large amount of money for a preo that gets delayed again and again and again...... i know theres more story behind the curtain ...yes. it gets very very anxious and upsetting.
i can only hope it gets finally released this month and its a good figure. then hopefully things will calm down when my bros have the figure in hand. meanwhile, i humbly humbly suggest at least Baron and GS should refrain from addressing eachother please, just till things blows over.

another thing for those who are not used to HLPro and this will be their first toy,expect SMALL,these are NOT SOC by any means,they are MID SRC size figures. Indeed, but regarding this picture, they displayed it with SOC GX-04 Grendizer. Looks like they changed their mind to match a bit with SOC line. Now the question : Silver or chrome ? haha

I'm new to this hobby, granted. but it doesn't take me a long time to learn what not to do.
seems like hlpro has burned some guys in the past, not including this robot, so why would anyone pay for a preorder of one of their products? and even if you do then why be surprised when they hit it with extensive delays? maybe if all of us hobbyists made a stand and did not order from them at all then is it possibly that they would get the message?
I do understand the frustration, in fact I'm frustrated for you guys because I want them to finally release it too so that I can buy it. I own the gin-gin and I really like it.
finally, I echo the statements of greengetter and sgokin, the constant arguing about who sucks or is lying etc has become a little much guys.
I also respectfully ask that if possible can we keep that particular discussion to a minimum so that the threads don't get bogged down? or maybe open a new thread for that discussion?
just my 2 cents.

Now the question : Silver or chrome ? haha But this is not the HL-pro metaltech gattiger!! this is just a customized figure by a modeler to go with the SOC grendizer and it was shown long time ago !! it is actually the origin of all the gokin gattiger craze and Hype !! that is why it is bigger than the metal tech standard figures!

Now the question : Silver or chrome ? haha agreed not the hlpro figure this custom is obviously much better.i already said I'm done addressing Tom,Gone,Here,Gettershadow and all the other guy.lol Promise but some things had to be said I love this forum and don't like members getting bad info and treating wrongly by someone who has no interest in anything but being a go between for a company, that time and time again told him to not post their info here, I was told this directly by the CEO of Hlpro because he said info gets mixed up when that happens and it's true.I have the emails to prove it .when someone defends something to the bitter end non truths are bound to appear and as you all know they have.Sorry but there is nothing here to show until we get this figure and Still we have no date Still.

This Flying Tiger is MASSIVE.. feels like it weighs 3 pounds.. Roboizer is good too.. Im still getting used to it.. the whole kit is weird. Its kinda like if Popy never got bought up by Bandai and things just went along a normal progression. Its got a "retro" feel to it in some ways..

those shoulders actually worked out pretty good once you get the hang of how to pose them. The joints were real stiff when they came out of the box (felt kinda cheap) but he is starting to smooth up pretty quick. The head isn't rubber like Gin Gin..its plastic. More hip range than Gin Gin quite a bit more. Only thing I don't like so far is that the front of the elbow joins and the back of the knee joints are not gloss..if they were, they would have been a perfect color match and blended right in.

regular "white" version is actually light blue.. this is gray. Its good, real good. Main thing I would have done differently is the wings and the nose on the Tiger, they are molded in plastic.. looks good but not as great as it would have looked had they been painted.. it would have matched the SUPER HIGH QUALITY paint on the diecast.. THIS TIGER IS A BEAST.. it must weight 4 times what the MT01 Spazer weighs.. its like from another era.

Wait.. I thought there would be only 3 versions of this. Regular (with glossy finish), Silver (metallic finish) and Chrome.
And this looks like the Regular version. Are there gonna be 2 regulars? Light blue and gray? I'm kind of confused right now.

3 versions.. normal "white" one is actually a light blue, many of your "white" figures are actually a light blue its an optical effect. Then the chome and then the "limited".. "limited" is a type of silver-gray that looks a lot like the "normal" one but its limited to 100 pieces.
