HL pro is a small company doing a obscure character. I suppose that any price lower than that and it wouldn't worth the risk of doing it decently. I'm not interested in it but it seems a fair price (production cost - units sold - QC) and we should try to support companies that give us something different for our collection. I'm not telling anyone what to do with their money, but if someone likes the figure then it should be more understanding when it comes to the price.

Yeah, HLPro makes lot of vinyl figure which I dont collect so I'm not a fan BUT!!!
Metal King Gori figure with fur? When is that ever going to happen again.....( never say never but if anything, it probably never going to have fur as material..)
So I got to get in on this. It's just TOO funky.
So far i only bought one Metaltech from HLPro which I bought and love....(forget his name...its the teal figure with three horns with shields..) A great great figure.
And It pains me to miss thier Robotizer but I didnt want it due to reported gummy PVC feet(..wow that was a huge mistake on HLPro.) But man the anime version looks so~good. I NEED 5Pro to make Carbotix of it but I "think" they are struggling with its marketability....

I love that they are doing Grendizer villains and hope it continues. I’ve got Giru Giru, Gin Gin and Goru Goru. This will make a nice edition.

Nice!
Thanks for reminding me Surly! Gin Gin that's him!
His joints are so~ silky and luxurious. Hes Not as funky as Gori but he's still very charming. Again, the whole figure is done so well. Simple in many ways but a beautiful figure non the less...HLPro hit a home run with that one IMHO, Made with lots love I'm sure.
Dont let me start with their box art...beautiful~ a huge fan of the artist.

Yeah their art is great. Gin Gin is wonderful. My only gripe is how easily the saw blades pop off the shields. But once posed it’s no big deal.
Going to wait a few days to see if BBTS gets King Gori. They got their last one, Goru Goru.

Yep. True that with the saw blade..
I'm monitoring BBTS too. I'll certainly post a link to preo when I see one!
Good hunting everyone. This Gori is a catch! teehee.

An interesting tidbit about this intriguing figure.
There is now a rumor at Korean blog that this figure was contracted by Kyungin Nim(sama) at " NOMAKE," Another Korean outfit.
There was a rumor about HLPro Astroganger was also contracted out to a Korean outfit, dont know if that also was Nomake.

Oh look a Gokin that comes pre-fuzzy! And I don't even have to forget to dust that shelf!
(No really. What is the deal with the damned SOC Mazinger Angels? They grow hair so fast each should come with its own little pink razor.)

Unfortunately, it's not as good as it should...
the face is ugly, the knee joint...
How long did they take to make this figure ? 3 years ?

Damn...
Well, i'm happy for bros who can appreciate this piece and got on this....it looks to have a ton of metal AND smooth luxurious clickys the color looks great. The box art is awesome! BUT..the joints look pretty primitive. The furry thighs look...off place.
i dont want to be negative especially about an underdog company like this but...HLPro had an opportunity to make this character justice, respect or whatever you might want to say.......i for one am glad i passed.
