This gets me excited watching this video. The one worrying thing in that video is no two pictures of the robot have the armor panels on the same way. Like it is that obvious that they fell off every time the figure was moved or posed for the next shot. It's one of those once you see it you can't unsee it or mistake it for anything else. And those were ET marketing photos. (Seriously who took these pictures? The same guy that did that horrid box art for Mechander?)

boring review
the dark blue paint is more like black in here, overall the paint is not vivid not very good
the articulated fingers looks bigger than they should
and lastly the LEDs on the eyes are very weak
i dont think it worth the asking prices for what you are actually getting

No ET product is worth its asking price, especially if you compare to prices from Bandai. Lol. If it doesn’t speak to you it’s not for you.
I saw the prototype in person and was awed by it. The paint is dark blue but looks delicious.

No ET product is worth its asking price, This is such a depressingly sad, yet true statement. It’s not that their stuff is bad. It’s just that every single offering I have ever laid eyes on from them feels like it is twice the price it should be for the materials and value in the product.

this is what Tetsujin Paint should looks like in my opinion https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh3J_wUnxD8 its spot on not to dark not to light so about 10 years later and the GX44S is the best Tetsujin 28 in the market photo by @gtmq8

That SOC is crazy good...a legend. Incomparable. Tons of metal....i think its around 90 percent metal. its delux set had the best accessory ever in the history of toys let alone Chogokin. a full bad guy robot, Black Ox. (But then that same awsome accessory is a HUGE let down because moronic decision by Bandai to put all the metal on top of the figure.... Just Idiotic.)
but that video narrator seems way too um, " The box even closes.....awsome" Wow...

I personally have not been a big fan of Evolution Toys, and have always hated how expensive their ball magnet figures were. I've seen how their Legioss was a let down. But something, I don't know, something... is making me believe that this figure will be different. And I'm willing to be the guinea pia and early adopter for a nice large Tetsujin gokin. I already have the GX-44 but it's too small. I bought it wanting it as a modernized version of the Popy/Godaikin, but it was too small, didn't have similar features, and was a bit too stylized for me. Really hoping that ET does a good job on this one. It looks like Chogo and I are the only ones going in on this one. That's fine. "We'll take it for the team."

Yeah I went all in last year and Iocidm is getting it too. I’ve learn not to let feedback,opinions or comments deter my decisions in life since what high school. 😂 I remember getting so much heat from my Pinoy friends having Laos girlfriend. Haha. Always went against the grain.
I’ve bought items some of them expensive with known issues and I glad I got them. In the end if you want it you will get it. it’s because it reminds of us the Popy version. Only thing I remember from my sociology class was theory of group think. 😀 my coworkers probably hate me because I don’t follow them.

Depends on the frame, tetsujin is shown to be pretty dark blue at times too I agree with mr clean, I have the SOC too with the black ox. While it’s nice and heavy it’s too small and lacking in feature. I crave the godaikins size and gimmicks that this ET offers. I don’t care for articulation.

The lighting on the leg might be closest to what it'll look like in hand.

There's a bunch of listings now for preorder on this guy on eBay. He should be on the way soon. Now if only I could find a good copy of Shin Tetsujin-28 Go (1980) anime to watch.
