Idont know you may love it,Its just cheap feeling for me.especially after SKL. See how others feel,Im a pessimist,funny usually when I love a character i love the toy,not here. Being objective, even with things you know and like, is a good quality Alright, maybe articulation could've been better if Bandai made this Godsigma a bit taller, we'll never know. Too bad for the shield that can't be placed in front of the figure. Could you tell us, more or less, where diecast is located in this figure? I'm guessing upper torso and lower legs, anything in the feet or arms?

Oh i edited it and said I can ONLY find diecast in the Knees and thats it!MAYBE part of the waist but i dont think so..ITS VERY lacking in diecast.

Baron the figure looks great and i have a preorder awaiting. Reading your comments about the figure i think i am going to cancel it. Little diecast for the price there are asking is a big no for me.

Ok I went over figure the ONLY place I can find diecast IS the knees thats it!!Its THE only cold part of teh figure and only part that clinks when touched with other metal!

Its basically like SRC Gunbuster. A total disapointment if your expecting a decent amount of diecast.

Nope. I agree with you on this 100% Baron. Just got mine and I feel the same way about this figure. Not great. Let's just say it's "good enough". I guess we were getting spoiled with large SRC's such as SKL. First thing I noticed when I opened up the shipping box was how tiny the toy box was inside Can you find any other diecast besides knees???

Holy crap, that's it? Just the knees? I haven't gotten mine yet. That's sad to hear.
Edit: looking at the pics from the previous page, it does seem like the shoulder and groin joints have diecast as well?

Heh, after all the diecast Bandai put in their TWE Mic Sounders + Piggy set, I'd even settle for a figure which only has the NOSE in diecast. No, I wouldn't. It's a shame though, smaller figures should mean that their joints can handle more metal content overall. But the most recent SRCs had very little diecast in them (Getter 1 had just the lower legs in diecast, for example. Same's gonna happen with Black Getter). Sad times for gokin fans...

Gold I'm talking actual armor Gold... joints themselves have metal I guess but can't find anything but the knee sections to have metal plating.When I say diecast I mean the body parts not the skeleton.. just to be clear..I don't count joints or skeletal structure as diecast just like I don't count the spherical magnets on ET toys as diecast.So as far as outer body seems like only the knees!!!! Could be wrong but its all I'm 100% sure of the rest seems to be all plastic.

Just got mine today. Very nice figure, Godsigma fans will love it. However, it is not the biggest and heaviest SRC figure out there and it is easily dwarf by larger figures such as the GGGG, Garfighgar and Gunbuster. Here are some pictures to share. robotjapan.proboards.com/post/353703/thread

Well when you have a collection as big as mine with 7 detolfs and 8 glass boxes.. it gets kinda hard finding space..LO But as for my toy being bad?No absolutely not,its how its engineered.Dont like teh articulation..And the way the elbows are designed is sloppy.Even with legs fully extended there is minimal clearance at top of teh silver thighs at front,they hit waist,or come very close.Elbows have an odd sphere that clicks for extra movement but i find them odd...Even shoulders are not great how they look,just kinda clunky,not fun to pose this figure. I dont know you may love it,Its just cheap feeling for me.especially after Big nice SKL.Sucks I was looking forward to this guy..THE REAL BAD?..Dicast only in knees??? I cant readily find any other diecast!SAD. See how others feel,Im a pessimist,funny usually when I love a character i love the toy,not here. I cant seem to pose the arm so shield is at front,the way its designed you CANT!At least i cant figure it out.Also cant even TOUCh shield it falls off arm. i have a question for you why you didnt go with just 1 or 2 huge display cabinet ? is it for space issuse or display value ? i got my self a huge wood and glass display stand 1m by 2m not exactly the one i want but its temporarily one till i find some one good enough to build me a new one some thing close to this the only fear i have is the glass wont hold the wight of the figures so it need some calculation and some searching

the only fear i have is the glass wont hold the wight of the figures so it need some calculation and some searching get tampered glass, it should be able to hold a lot of weight. the drawback is its really heavy.

I know what options are out there and if I changed it I certainly wouldn't go with shelves like u show as they aren't much better than detolfs ..I'd need 4 of them!also the cabinets under the glass are space wasters detolfs have full use of their space. Someday when I have a nice home I'll get a professional setup.Also its very expensive..detolfs are the best most inexpensive way I've found and theyprotect unlike most open air dust attracting shelves some use.II've sealed mine with foam seals also.They look fine and in an apt are the best use of space til I get a house...

Fell asleep right after posting. Just the knees like you mentioned. I still like him even though I'm a little disappointed. Plus my 5 year old son loves fiddling with him and I'm not of afraid of him breaking it. ?

first off no one just has a big collection and then decides how to display it lol LOL... I do. I have most of my collection in crates and boxes, which altogether take up approximately 1600 CUBIC feet... yes, cubic feet. I got boxes that touch the ceiling. LOL! At the moment I only have four Ikea Detolfs cabinets full, but that's not even a 20th of what I have stored away. Lack of display room truly sucks! But someday I'll have a really nice big house with plenty of room for my "figure museum". }D

By the way, I just paid for mine, along with the other stuff that just got released. I decided to go with Registered Mail for shipping this time, as God Sigma is not something that really interests me much. But for the SRC GodMars (if ever released), it will be EMS all the way! }D

I don't have any detolfs/displays at the moment, so I keep all the figures I own in their boxes. One day I'll have my mancave, one day...

get tampered glass, it should be able to hold a lot of weight. the drawback is its really heavy. thanks for the info man i will look it up the thing is with normal glass it will break and damage both the figures above it and beneath some time i think wood is the best think but it will make it look like clothes cabinet i have a question for you why you didnt go with just 1 or 2 huge display cabinet ? is it for space issuse or display value ? i got my self a huge wood and glass display stand 1m by 2m not exactly the one i want but its temporarily one till i find some one good enough to build me a new one some thing close to this the only fear i have is the glass wont hold the wight of the figures so it need some calculation and some searching first off no one just has a big collection and then decides how to display it lol its built over a long period so I added detolfs as I went and how I display my collection is my business don't ya think?
