Honestly, the GGGG is nice to look at but too many QC issues, the 1.5 Final version supposedly fixed these but I can't say with absolute certainty.
Problems from the first GGGG release -"Toes" easily misalign and can snap off when you try to pose it (it comes folded down when you open the box)
-Groin joint shafts just disintegrate over time (I think OptimusPrimeSG made a video of this a while back?), the whole leg just falls off even when displayed.
-Diecast components show massive hairline cracks over time, just wow.
-Gold paint on the fingers tend to fade over time
-Forearms snapping right at the biceps. The joint hole is too tight, so even turning it ever so lightly will cause the neck of the peg to snap off (happened to a friend of mine, on his Green GGGG too no less!)
So, yeah, the first release is super problematic, just mainly from poor quality materials used, as ridiculous as it sounds, it has a "shelf life" even if it's displayed or not. I decided to grab a 1.5 but I didn't really fiddle with it nowadays for fear of breakage.

The Final version is the 1.5 (written clearly on the box), as far as price goes, I think it's gone up? The old SRP was around 200 USD, most Ebay sellers have it around north of $350 now.
