Replacement part came yesterday and all is well in that regard. Mine came in too. They gave me the whole arm when I just needed the wrist gauntlet. No complaints here. I thanked their customer service and tried to have them let CCS know to please make a lazengann and more GL mecha.

It looks fantastic but is the ankle tilt really limited on this figure? It is a little limited on this GL, but you can unpeg the ankle a little and then get more range out of the ankle tilt. Unpegging it just enough for the clearance also does not affect the stability of the figure as the peg and slot is pretty tight.

Update: CCSTOYS sent out the replacement via DHL and it'll be here tomorrow... I've never even seen customer service like this. Mine too! Although mine will probably arrive Monday. So far this customer service experience has been excellent.

I have been messing with my copy for a few days now, and it really feels like a fusion between the Riobot and the Great Impact GL. Artistic styling, good metal content, great size, and finish that will make your toes curl when you keeping looking at it. I'm always a little worried about the magnet gimmicks not having enough holding strength, but CCS did a good job here, pretty strong stuff. Only 1 drill fell off while I have been posing him these last few days. Sadly mine came with 1 missing magnet on the forearm and because I bought it from amazon japan, I thought I could be screwed. Luckily, after doing some digging and asking the right people I was able to contact the distributor for CCS toys and they were able to contact their supplier and hook me up with a replacement part that will hopefully get to me in the next month or 2. If anyone does get any broken or missing use this link below to contact them.

At least one user broke his GL's right arm at the shoulder...id ready Epoxy just in case. Be carful. www.gokin.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=12270&start=255Also bros are saying in order to get more out of the ankle joints, ...pull them out then DON'T insert them back all the way.... that will give the full potential of the joints apparently. First breakage I have seen so far. Hopefully, it remains an isolated case.

I hope the magnets are strong enough and they don't fall off as soon as you pose GL.

Anyone else get charged for their Amazon order yet? Just charged me yesterday Not yet....., but if they're sending out charges now hmmm I just can't afford it right now. Dang. I was hoping I wouldn't get billed until the end of the month. Is your order still set to arrive between October 3rd and October 6th?

I imagine folks just like assembling the model kits more than buying figures of them? I hope this blade liger scales well with the Yamato shield liger from some odd years ago.

I'm definitely picking one up once I can sell off a few things here and there.

According to the interview, the legs are also diecast. Why they didn't take a pic showing all of the metal? I have no idea.....

I think the ultimate Gravion is going to be using a base Gravion body, but the armor around it is non-transformable or pseudo-transformable and not actually made up of Sol and Sigma Gravion.

This basically looks like they took their new robot damashii EVA mold and upscaled it and gave it some metal parts. Not a bad price for someone who wants a REALLY big 15.5 inch tall EVA unit. Sadly no entry plug gimmick. It says it's 170 mm. Doesn't that work out to about 6.5"? So around the same size as the DC's or most SHFA's? The robot damashii is 170mm. This new action figure is 400mm or 15.5 inches tall.

Does anyone know where this is in stock? I see it on NY with a markup but not much else. Just saw your reply moleman. Hopefully there will be a reissue. But doubt anything gets fixed if the Mospeada ride armor is any indication. My reissue of Stick had some minor build quality improvements like the handle bars not being stressed out of the box, the shoulder pads not constantly popping off and the paint on the abdominal section was more rugged than my first copy. Also, since Dancouga got KO'd and made better, I think that lit a fire under Sentinel's ass to make improvements to the reissue of Dancouga. In the upcoming Sol Gravion Sentinel is improving the arm connection on the base figure and painting the eyes black around the eyes. So maybe.....there could be improvements with the red and green and maybe a reissue of the blue legioss.

Awesome pics! Thanks for the review. Not in stock the last time I look in my usual places. but might have to get this one! Sold my CM’s and the toynami, kept the ET. This ones looks real good. I recommend to wait for a reissue and see if Sentinel makes any minor tweaks here and there. Lots of folks reporting loose ankles and overly tight shoulders. There's also some other minor problems that could be ironed out with a little more care in the build quality. A few reports of people breaking the landing gear are out there, but only a few.

I hope this sells well and CCS toys can keep getting the license to do the other forms of GL.

Price: 24000 yen Release date: Sep 2020. Price isn't too bad for a 9" figure. A nice change from the $400+ companies are charging for figures during a global pandemic where people are literally going bankrupt and loosing their homes. Agreed on the more somewhat sane price here, kind of in line with what Bandai charges for their metal build figures these days. Hopefully, the pre-order stays open for a long time and it's a smooth ez item to obtain.
