The rep is saying that
"consumer might say, what is wrong with the color on the first video, just release it.
we also seriously thought about just releasing it as we are getting tremendous pressure from our retail partners,
but at the end of the day, we decided that delaying yet another two weeks is right thing to do to get the product right.
Thank you for your understanding and your support."
I say whats a another two weeks at this point, but 5Pro needs to realize it cant delay it anymore.... And when it is FINALLY released at early Apirl, it better be bullet proof or no one will shield you from oncoming criticism.

So they had a production QC problem with the red painted chest parts? Does anyone know how big their production runs are? (The exclusivity of their offerings makes me think they are quite small.) And do they manufacture in house? Or is it all farmed out in total or in part to a factory? Because unless it is a fairly small run, and they are doing everything right there at their own studio, there is no way they can hit a 2 week delay. Remember even after they repaint the parts, they still need to do a normal production run to assemble and package them.

COME ON !! release the damn thing already its got delayed for a total 4 months now, like this HL PRO will release theirs before this, and 5Pro will be the joke of the industry since HL Pro is always comes last i dont want a new paint the paint looks good, unless they are replacing the red paint with the EXACT same red Bandai used on the GX-31V 40th anniversary Voltes V STILL this is bad marking and bad reputation

I'm barely holding my anger from explosing. They better deliver a good free QC figure by the end of this two weeks delay or they will be facing a negative feedback.

thanks for the update
from what i see the figure is done, but they are just been picky about stuff
like that they will earn a bad reputation and the are risking a poor QCs if the figure got released with any

and the first week of April is about to finish, with no update on this guy
for me now 5pro is just another HL pro which means 0 credibility about release dates

So far from what I have seen, 5 Pro seems to have good engineering to design the toy. Let hope their qc and management can delivery their good! We will see soon enough.

According to a news on 9th April on the 5pro community, 5pro is making a good process in shipping of astroganga but due to THAAD between Korea and China maybe as you know, there’re some problems so they are shipping not directly but via Hongkong, which makes some delays. So to do for us is to wait a little more day.

thanks for the update Huckaiser i tried to contact them via their Instagram pages but no answer let me guess tho they will delay it another month and why maybe because the color of the box didn't match the color of the figure horizontally

well at the bright side we will know how good the figure is, they just need to hurry up with it because like this they are risking to lose their market share to HL Pro

I checked out his Facebook mobile photos and lo and behold... Metalic version in works. It looks absolutely fantastic! Obviously handpainted by the looks of the quality. But damn if it doesnt look good. Ill try to post the pic here. he will not say when its due.....due to obvious reasons.
It also looks like he also is over excerted himself by looking at his stay at a hospital end of last year... I guess The stress of going from boutique to a lot bigger production and still trying to maintain the impeccable paint quality is giving him major pain.

this was in page 8 bro lol i guess you didn't see it
dont wanna break your paddles but according to him (5 pro boss) if there is a huge demand they will do the metallic version and the fake version as well
for me i think the metallic version is beautiful as well, but the regular version is more accurate, if it was in the regular day i will go for both honestly but i gotta remind my self there is DX Grendizer coming

any news about this guys? i dont mind if they delay it for another month be at least they should be honest with the new release date, not delaying like this Found this on Medicom Toy's Twitter account posted on the 19th of April and by google translation they say: (Introduction of 'CARBOTIX astroganger' scheduled to be released at the end of this month! It is a definitive version that balances a solid body with a heavy feeling! Replace face parts with magnets! Kantaro parts of the main character can also be put on shoulder by replacement!) LinkI hope they are right about the release this time.
