I'm got a public FB post fromTyphoon Kim, 5Pro owner? Its in Korean ao Heres a rough translation from a Korean American, and not from a sucky Googlian or FaceBookalian.
"To get an exact release date, please ask the place where you bought from as Ganger is now being delivered to respective warehouse one or two piece (?) at a time. "I know there re a lot of questions to why its being delayed so many time , and I will wait till you have the product in hands as I can more fully explain then. thank you so much for beliveing us and purchasing our product, humbly yours."
What do you think? I personally is on fence about this Preo. One hand I honestly do want to support this company. hes a brother from my motherland. And this IS a rare opportunity to get hands on a boutique (?) piece at a reasonable price...on top of that, this piece has a very unique gimmick, worlds first ever use of carbon on a figure.
On the other hand, i don't like things messy. I like simple and straight forward transaction. There are ALOTS of quality piece coming out in near future from very reliable Bandai that are jockeying for my money. And i dont roll like i used to so i need to be super picky about my purchase. I mean how many benifit of doubt does this company deserve from me?

thanks for the update bro
for me hopefully i will get no matter what, IF there is any QCs of course i will be pissed, they delayed it about 5 months and it was a delay after a delay, like you said with the economy most of us dont roll like we used to, hopefully its a temporary thing.
according to people who saw and hold the figure, the figure is heavy, solid and with awesome paint, and thats what we all want it to be
if they release it with the GX-72 thats will be awesome, but im afraid the stupid people in the PO will think im selling them XD

What a coincidence, I just came back from them a few hours ago this time I bought 3 figures by ems from amiami "How Generos I am" and I did wear my Boxing Gear, they insisted that I should open a commercial license, I told them that I'm an official employee and that's illegal. At the end the usual blah blah bah and took it form them.

I just joined Naver to bring you bros what 5Prostudio is gearing up...
They wont let me read the latest as im still a peon level in their cafe. Anywho, according to some older thread, they are indeed considering Robotizer of Gattaiger for coming Carbotix line!! As beautiful as the Robotizer is, That'd be insane! They are also considering bigger, better, badder, TaeKwon V masterpiece gokin with carbon tech thrown in....but id strongly guess for domestic market only.
Now these are ONLY a consideration so stay tuned. I will update as ANY news regarding the next carbotix surfaces at their Naver Cafe. Oh according to the blog host, they changed few things on Astroganger during preproduction(?), Kentaro mini figure for the Astroganger is ABS instead of PVC!
The bummer news is the awesome bad guy Taekwon X ended being a statue it seems....

Heres the latest from Naver Cafe....i somehow got in to one of their latest thread. If theres will...anywho.
More then four times the inventory Astroganger were created, most of them junked due to QC....mostly due to paint. They will NOT do promo shots of the retail as they want to give that shock of the quality first time you open it as a consumer. Most of the founding members will give controls to new blood in the company who need to concentrate on world wide marketable license, so the old timers want to finish up their call of duty with Korean Super robots...Oh Astroganger's nameplate is done by a guy with handle OZ who passed. They did a a commerative on the reverse of the nameplate to honor him?
5Prostudio keeps hinting on doing Korean Super robot....my guess is Masterpiece gokin TaeKwon V "renewal(?)" with what they learned from Astroganger, it will be bigger more diecast with carbon inclusion. Better sculpt, led, magnet...it will be one expensive figure. But damn, id guess itd be the one to own to anyone who always wanted TKV figure...

Will have it in my hand in couple of weeks. Cant wait.
This guy has a high level of expectation built in and it needs to meet it after all the delay and such. I will give a fair and brutally honest review once i have it in my hand.

amiami still hasn't sent me a payment request. I guess I preordered late and didn't make it to the first batch.
