Hey, TFH! One of my favorite hobby shop in SG. Is Roy still there? Before I knew my local hobby suppliers, I always ordered hobby goods from TFH and asked my brother in law to pick it up when he's coming home from his studies.
I don't think TFH knowingly carries a defective products. For me, their reputation is across nations, I'm proof of that, so the problem is in GX-40 reissues apparently. Potential buyers need to check out by opening the box if buying from a store... Something that I regret not doing.

I have a reissue and like most of my pricey stuff, it just goes on display. So it was transformed out of box and put in my detolf. Nothing broke out of the box, just a couple of sloppy paint spots. Dust in paint, chip.

But ur right, TFH is one of the biggest toy retailers in Singapore and they will not knowingly carry defective stuff Only problem is, a lot of local collectors i know, buy an additional piece or 2, keeps them sealed in their original packaging for years and suprises awaits when they finally decide to open or sell them off.

Yeah guys, Roy is still there and Richard (former partner) left The Falcon Hangar a long long time ago. Even though I gotten a defective Godmars, I still trust and go to TFH for purchases. Roy was even nice to accept my pre-order recently for Fewture Shin Getter 1. Their customer service is also superb and that is one of their selling point in the toy business. Every email or enquiry to them will get answered for sure,

Started watching the anime and it is surprisingly good! I've watched the first 10 episodes already and they've all been good. I was on the fence with keeping my SOC GODMARS but after watching the episodes, I'm definitely hooked on this Super Robot. "Six Gods Unite!!!" ;D

In Godmars, the boring parts are actually the robot fights whenever Godmars shows up, where Godmars always one shot kill the bad robots with its sword. But its pretty interesting when it comes to Takeru and his psychic battles with the assasins, as well as the human drama. Gaia has the most screen time as a robot, much more so than Godmars (combined).

Yeah, so far GodMars has been unfazed by the enemy mechas. But you know that in these old shows, after the hero Super Robot pulled out its sword, 99% of the time the episode was pretty much over anyway. ;D

How sturdy is this SOC? Looks nice in pics, but is is articulate or just limited mobility / posing ability?

It's very, very sturdy. All the combination joints are well thought out and tight (a little too tight, actually. It's difficult to remove the legs unit once they're connected).
You can lift it up and shake it and it won't change it's pose. To tell the truth, I expected the non-ratcheting shoulder joints to go loose first, but they have maintained their tightness since I've opened the bot back in 2008.
EDIT: Arm poseability is very good. Can handle double handed sword pose very easily. Legs poseability is a little bit limited by the crotch joints. Knees have quite a high degree of bend.

just be careful when you are getting the reissue one, the fragile right arm (white robot) is one known defect. mine's cracked when I attempted to transform it from bot mode to the right arm of godmars, and I have left it in combiner mode since.
