I don't know what's going on here but anyways. Received the package in one piece. so clean. Do I love it? It's a hard question. why? I paid $210 for it and I was expecting (QUALITY) You don't have to be like HotToys... but at least make it right!!! I remember paying $100 for something way way better than this. The box is so bad.. just black with the logo. Cons: - Lack of accessories. Just gave me one closed fist. this is how I pose all my 1/6 figures - they used cheap a$$ glue with the collar and the shoulders armor. this is -100 to me... I fixed it and not planning to touch it again. - no booklet with the figure. no nothing.. zero. - $250 for the fake Izenborg? lol ok. - idk what kind of body type they used with this figure but it's ok I guess. - overpriced. Pros: - A dream come true for Izenborg fans. - Beautiful head sculpt with LED eyes. - I'd say 80% show accurate. - Trust me with this one. It will cost you (a lot) to buy this figure after a few years from now. All in all it's a decent figure. I'll gave it 7/10 Don't buy it unless you are a fan of the show.

Nice review, and congratulations, Bader.
As for the Pros, Izzie looks pretty accurate to the show. Overall, this is a good rendition as it gets, for now. Hopefully (later on, in the aftermarket) this Izenbo figure won't go the same path as the Super Inframan 12" figure.
As for the Cons, it's unfortunate to see some of the issues as you've noted. I don't know what they attribute to, but hopefully other units that have been sold have not been affected in some way.
After seeing other reviews, and pics of the figure and its accessories, I'd think the hands should come in Left and Right pairs instead of one of either side. That way the figure can be posed in dramatic "Karate Chop" and dual-fisted "Boxer Punch" poses and such. Many of the Ultraman figures have been good with the left and right Fists and Chop hands. A figure such as this Izenbo (and for that matter, Any figure) should live up to standards as well as its appearance.

nice review there bro
i guess the price is a bit high because there is no other figure for Izenbo so they asked $210 - $250 for it, monopoly i guess
after some time with the figure i just love it more every day lol even tho i dont know how to pose it right because this is the first type of figures i own but still very awesome thing to own
what annoy me is glue, they used a duct tape and glue it on both side the idea is good if you get the figure fresh out of the factory but the heat from storage and shipping make it very loose and on top of that the cloth shouldn't be one piece because every time you move the arms the collar move with it they could avoid that by doing a separated piece of cloth on the chest and the arms
any ways for some one who own it the figure have some weak points but still i love it

Try holding it up to light bulb when it's on for couple min then shut off the lights

That is true for glow-in-the-dark objects. Hold it near a light bulb for a few minutes. Even glow-in-the-dark paint (and toys painted with such) has to be exposed to a light source for the effect to work.
Of course Don't hold it TOO close to the bulb or the heat could burn or melt the object! lol

this is new info for me honestly, how is that work does the light charge it up or some thing ? Huh? So weird.. that you don't know these things about glow-in-the-dark objects already. I mean, many young children grow up with 1 or 2 toys with such feature. I did, at least. And yet, I managed to find an adult that didn't know about the light absorbing capabilities of these materials, hehe Yeah, the chemicals inside the sword will receive photons from a light source and then re-emit them at a lower intensity. So, the stronger the light source, the stronger (and longer) the re-emission will be. Just 5 seconds of holding it up next to a light bulb (not too close though) should be enough to make the phosphorescence last for many minutes. Enjoy it

lol... well, to be honest, I've never tried looking at a glow-in-the-dark object under a black light. Not that it would matter to me anyway. I'm planning on touching up my room for some black light effects around my toys. lol Okay, so this Izenbo figure.... I'm curious to see a review of it without the suit on. And that's only IF the suit can be taken off. So that we can see what kind of body it has, perhaps it's like those 1/6 bodies we see on the Hot Toys figures. This figure aint no ordinary Mego doll, ya know. lol zozo-mag

Enjoy it well its not a vintage heavy die cast gokin MF its just a glow in the dark liquid or paint, i had a toy like that but i thought it was broken because one day it just stopped glow i just didn't know how to charger it also i had one of these tube you kinda twist so it glow in a dark but again i didn't know how to charger it up again lol... well, to be honest, I've never tried looking at a glow-in-the-dark object under a black light.

also i had one of these tube you kinda twist so it glow in a dark but again i didn't know how to charger it up again You mean these? Glow sticks. The way they work has nothing to do with phosphorescence, they can be used only once and thus can't be recharged with an external light source. As far as I know, phosphorescent materials have practically unlimited use, don't worry about the sword

Excuse me bro, and with all respect what is it with the No Quotes campaign lately ? sometimes a member post before you can post to the member you want to respond to, also how the member will know that i replied back to him ? you cant always count on luck because some members visit a thread just ones and that's it since we don't have a mention feature in the forum we are going to quite because there is no other way around it
