Pose+ is a new player on the market I'm not familiar with. Also, I was asking about a second run, not a re-issue. Re-runs happen near release date after manufacturer get a sense of real demand, while re-issue occurs way after the initial release.
FYI, NY had the preorder available until recently at 30500 yen, which is below MSRP. I ordered mine from them back in February.
PS: I looked through the available Artstorm products on HLJ. First item that popped up was ES GOKIN SAMURAI PIZZA CATS, which is an exact re-issue of the same item I purchased back in 2013.

Guys... no reason to be insulting to board members to make a point about a company or products.

I've heard about some people having cracked pins or joints on TriThree, so it's made me a little wary about buying GoShogun. My trithree was the broken one. 3/4 of the arms were cracked in box along with the shoulder. I got replacement parts from robottoybase granted it took 2 months because they forgot an arm the first time Trithree is the small robot? I am worried about the plastic cracks. What were the common cracks? Is it the small robot, Goshogun Robot or both?

well after 48 days, 5 countries, at least 10 warehouses and the unorganized work by my shipping providers,, i finally got this beast
this is why i just love Art Storm stuff, they are totally worth the price and they are durable lol
so here is my first thoughts
right out of the box, i knew this thing took the 1st place as the best Goshogun figure ever made, but still that doesn't mean the CMs version is bad by any means
28cm figure that have an amazing range of articulation its just jaw dropping, the paint on mine is a perfect 10, i love how they paint the eyes, it made the figure looks more alive
i noticed that the compartments in the legs could be extended out, same with the compartment in the chest, there is a clear yellow plastic to light up the compartment when activating the LEDs
the tiny robot is also a work of art, i didn't play with it much tho, i was just so amazed by how well done Goshogun is
the figure final cost was $400, ouch but totally worth it since the figure become much more expensive now due to the high demand
if you love the character or you want a truly valuable piece that actually worth the asking price i highly recommend getting it
i will try to do full review later

If you think I'm going to go back and forth with you in the slightest over you not being able to relay a point without insulting members for no reason at all then you have another thing coming. It wasn't taken as a joke or responded to as one in another post that was also edited. Humor is subjective but what was written was pretty clearly not just something in jest. If you or anyone else has a problem with parts of posts like that being edited by all means PM the administration team with your issues but one thing that's not going to happen is derailing threads with it anymore. The board's seen enough of it and lost enough activity over it in these past years. All of that nonsense is done.

I'm not even entertaining the above and stand by my last post about it. At some point people need to take accountability for what they do and rules will continue to be adhered to. DHL finally will ship POSE Goshogun after Golden Week. I do pray I do not have this QC issues most especially on GoShogun Robot.I can tell this is legit figure. hehehe Honestly as long as you got it from an actual retailer you should be safe but here's hoping that you get one in good shape to not even have to be bothered with any return nonsense. Looking forward to your thoughts and anyone else's who's getting it here soon.

That is the CM's version, actually, just a different version with a duller grey paint job, probably the most recent release. The version I have from eons ago do have the chrome thighs. If only the CM's one has ankle joints, it would have been a much better bot. My Pose+ Goshogun from NY still has not shipped. Not sure if it ever will...... Good thing I have lots of patience when it comes to gokins.

The version in Kuma’s photo is technically the Arcadia/Marusan release based on the CM’s original mold. It came out a few years later (after CMs unfortunately liquidated and sold off several of their molds, I think?). For all intents and purposes it is exactly the same as the original CM’s Brave 08 with anime accurate finishes applied and no chrome. If I recall, I think Arcadia also purchased CM’s Gordian mold and released it with interchangeable heads for Garbin (capturing both designs described in the anime) which was a pretty cool feature.

Same price as shown here, plus their overpriced shipping of course: www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/28704-pose-metal-series-goshogun.html

Ah, thanks for this! I have a vague memory of this happening. I have the Jeeg from Arcadia which I liked a lot and regretted not picking up the big shooter back in the day. Arcadia of course also bought a bunch of Macross molds from Yamato and released a few new valkyries of their own. From what I understand, some of Yamato's staff now works for Arcadia. I wonder if Arcadia also picked up staff from CM's. Let's bring it back to Pose+ Goshogun. More photos would be great, folks!
