I don’t think it’s reissue I just think that’s just some vendors or USA getting their delayed stock in. I'm on the fence on this one. Does anyone know if they are going to release the original design instead of this stylized version?

was on the fence with this version, since I already have the Evolution Toy Version (die-cast one).

If 5PRO add metal on EXTERIOR AND of an original character design (a minimum or NO refinement), I'll def support.

Anyone got their Mechander from US retailer? My friend got his order canceled. I got mine from BBTS, but it was a while back. Been sitting in Pile of Loot a little while, and then got it shipped and received like a month or two ago. So pretty sure US retailers should have got their stocks by now (should be a while ago, as BBTS don't get their stuff early).

Usually I am not fan of weathered paint, but this one as more a brush paint artwork vibes. Very good.

Pass on weathering version for me. I'm liking what King Arts is doing- instead of simply doing weathering- they give us complete set of damaged armor to go along with it, which is incredible. Their Gaiking and Mazinger, for example.
According to taghobby the price for weathering ver. will be $270. That's 30-40 more than what I paid for regular version. Hard pass.

Good idea.
I put label gunk from washed Trader Joe’s pickle beet jar….crazy but it worked on MY King Arts Gaiking’s loose top left tooth!(I do realize it totally DOES sounds like BS internet urban myth but it worked on me). That thing is SUPER sticky gummy….
Disclaimer: Try it at YOUR own risk. Better yet, try it on surface you don’t care about first.

maybe some spit will fix it
i really dont understand how in the heck they didnt think about this and make the jet hold in place, the figure is over priced if you ask me since its mostly plastic and the paint is not that good or durable while attaching stuff, so at least give me a gimmick that actually works

You can try booger too. Just need to accummulate a big enough piece. Stronger than spit.

Remind me never to buy figures from S_Gokin and mpchi. Just too much additional DNA for my preference.

sorry to bring this old thread back but there is somethings i need to say about this figure
first, parts fall off this figure MORE than the EX Gokin Getter 1, lets see
1 the stupid jet (why they didnt put magnets on it) 2 the armor piece on the leg (around the feet) 3 try to adjust the head and it will pop off easily
4 the arm, yes the arm if you adjust it to do a pose it will fall, i think its more like a safety thing but still they could come with a better design than that
the joint system is not good enough, it looks so good like the metal build stuff and you can see it working but its weak, it should be ratchet joints system, you need to make sure every part is in the exact right place or the joints system wont support the robot and it will collapse
the paint is good but no protective coat, parts trade paint like boxers in the ring, the sword and stomach area have some paint chips
other than that the figure is very good looking but for the issues i mentioned i think it should be cheaper than this, i think its over priced yes, it should be around $150 no more
i really wonder what the heck happened to 5 Pro ? Astroganger had it limitation but its a really good figure, so why they made this figure this way ?
if you are eyeing their Voltron i recommend you wait for reviews and see how good the figure actually is, 5Pro will do a 2nd patch according to sites and special edition as well
and that was my community service lol

And now it is. ohmyprimus.com/blw5proca10301.htmlI'm tempted to buy it at this price but I'll wait and see what else goes on sale at other websites.

That's Singapore Dollar. If you convert it the amount is around USD 156.
