I haven't had a chance to take new pics yet. But I must note that the quality on Great Mazinger and Getter 1 has gone up a notch or two from the earlier releases, which were already stellar. Better, smoother finish. No more grind marks or blemishes on the sides or backs of the hands. No more foggy spots on the finish in hard to reach nooks and crannies.
The Gundam releases I'm not too excited about, but they are numbering them so it looks like they plan on continuing the Gundam subline for quite a while. I'm hoping they still intend to release more Dynamic and other superbots in the future, but with the Great Mazinger wave still easy to get, I'm afraid they are done with the classic super robots.

I *highly* recommend the robot damashii Z'gok, if you don't already have it. hlj.com/product/BANN06292/Gun It and the ANIME Dom are really stand-out pieces in that line, very solid and fun.

I really like guncannon too but no one will answer my silly question. No PVC on the Z'gok. Only the hands are PVC on the Dom. I'm not a fan of the rubbery stuff either. Was a big turnoff for me when the RD line began, but newer figures don't use it much. I don't have the Guncannon so I can't verify, but I'd venture an educated guess that just its hands are PVC. Oh, wait, ...the Z'gok effect parts are PVC. The thruster flames and the electrical discharges and the beam blasts. I never use effect parts though, that's what imagination is for, so I put those away in a ziplock bag and will sell them in a parts lot later. I think the Guncannon has some effect parts as well...

YESSS~~~
Hey man, we see eye to eye on that stuff. We are there! I too was turned off by first Roboshi due to many parts being pvcs. And I dont mind effects part being PVC either, not at all. Thank you so much for clearifying!
I might really have to get into ANIME then...oh no im so broke. but that Guntank look so freaking awesome!!

But I'm a super-selective ba$t*rd, so your mileage will vary. But yeah, the Guntank looks really great. I'm just not keen on paying an exclusive price for something that comes with a big diorama I don't even want. Why Bandai? Why you do this thing?

It WAS a great line when Bandai first introduced it with super robots.
I guess it was a success, so then it introduced other characters that has absolutely nothing to do with chogokin anything. Fine, Well Gundam charactors are super cool. Then idiotically Bandai decided to "force" foiled color variations ( imagine christmas foil balls.....)on these cool Gundam chogokins, a "blind surprise." What? Yeah...... Then, doraemon with B characters nobody really ever wanted..... The final straw? (for me) The sculpt on Dragon Ball line.... "strange" The hell are they suppose to be? They looking like a angry little people on steroid with gigantic saucer eyes.....
Bandai went nuts and killed this line. Even at the begining, I knew they were little wacko when they try to sell a box set for over $200. Just really stupid business decisions, one after another... I guess it got too successful and one of the rival management decided to destroy his rival...a corporate politic.

Very interesting.......That’s a bummer. I’d like to see aGo Lion, Gun buster, GAOGaigar etc etc. oh well. I ordered a bunch I’m gonna put on black satin jewelry risers w a coupe mini LED spotlights. Should look pretty slick. I didn’t bother w the non mecha ones as they don’t appeal to me.

I don’t think he love the robot lol... In a serious note you are right? Even tho I am not drooling about Grendizer but maybe later see how this one sells?

exactly every source Ive read is saying that Nagai was forced to do alot of things he didn't like with Grendizer, even tho he own it lol
for me personally i try to get all the 3 robots in every line i collect
i didn't get the regular version but this painted ones looks cool

My feelings as well they were plain Jane for me, nice and shiny for some bros but too plane for me, with this ones I really love the feeling of old gokin toys, when I was a kid I used to have the metal version of Z and Great just like this in Ecuador. Bring back great memories so this is a must for the inner child on me to feel happy, it brought great memories of my childhood and I think that’s the spark that keeps this hobby of ours alive. Great little figures so let’s hope and see if we can fetch at least a couple ✌🏻
