If this is happening then they need to address the major issues with these figures. Which are the ankles. After a certain period they become very loose and very difficult to pose with any movement or vibration making them fall over. The other thing I never liked is how easily Tetsujin’s jet pack pops off his back due to the weak magnet system used.

I am very happy about this release and I already made the preorder for both the Spider-Man figure and Leopardon. The only problem is I already got the GX-33 last year off eBay and I paid $200 for it. Basically the same as this Renewal version. The original came with a static Spider-Man figure and this one doesn't but instead has the Spider Bracelet. No regrets. I do think that once I get the new one, the older version will be displayed in Marveller mode or put back in the box. It's one of my favorite SOC releases because of the accessories and the solid feel. It has a lot of die-cast it feels like one of those classic chogokin toys. I can already tell the renewal version has better articulation and improved proportions so that will only make it more desirable for SOC collectors.

LOL @ the empty wallet at the end. HEATS is definitely one of my all time favorite Super Robot opening songs. Kageyama was perfect for it.

It’s crazy to think I have 3 GX-88s coming my way soon. All from U.S vendors such as Galactic Toys and BBTS. Really screw N-Y for the way they treat their customers. It’s obvious to me that they bit a little more than they could chew. I would probably still be one of the people waiting if I had t cancelled and got a refund from them.
PS: I am not hoarding all 3. One is for me and the other two are already spoken for by fellow collectors.

I have it and honestly the only reason I got him was because he happens to be my favorite monster from Grendizer.
The fake fur was falling apart even before I opened up the package and the gap in the knee joints is just so lame and pathetic. One of the horns is bent and the paint app on the head is just amateur hour.
I expected that as HL Pro has a track record for shoddy workmanship and quality.

I just pre-ordered a set from HLJ. I like this set and especially the fact that it comes with a Minifo. Something Bandai has never made. I wish they would make more items based on enemies from thee Mazinger and Grendizer.

I opened up a case with PayPal and Nippon-Yasan refunded me almost immediately. For anyone who still has a preorder with them I suggest you do the same and simply get it from the U.S. There are still a few websites like TFsource and BBTS that have it in stock and comes up to the same price or less. Ignore the warning that they (N-Y) have set up once you start the refund/claim process. It's just an attempt to scare customers.... Honestly even that is very unprofessional and even childish.

I will stick with my SOC Gaiking. I think this looks cool. But I have the KA Grendizer and I was quite disappointed with the way the joints were made. Almost everything about it is good until you handle the figure and try to pose it. For that price point I believe the joints should be more firm and secure but instead these King Arts figures seem to have a problem when it comes to stability during posing. Almost feels like the joint could break at any given moment.
Ironically that is the issue that the SOC Gaiking has with the leg/foot joints that become loose after a while. Which is an old issue that Bandai has since corrected for more recent and current releases.

Anyone here know if Galactic Toys is a good vendor? I never ordered from them before so I am wondering if I can get some feedback from people who have used them in the past.

Yeah N-Y are somehow complete morons when it came to the GX-71 and GX-88. Not only did they flip the price on pre-orders. Pretty much the only website that actually does that. I am still waiting for any kind of activity on my order but so far zero...nothing.

The GX-27 Gaiking is actually one of the better older SOC releases. A lot of SOC figures from back then had loose joint issues (Voltes V, Taiyo No Shisha Tetsujin-28). It's very interesting to see a DX release that fits well with a standard SOC release. I think that's very interesting even if I might not end up getting DaikuMaryu. The concept alone is very interesting to me as a collector.

Beautiful. Can't wait to see the accessories and his sword on display. He will probably also have the same sound/music gimmick as Combattler.

That's a surprise. I love DaikuMaryu but I don't know if I am getting it. I definitely don't have the space to display it.

It's about time. This one should have been released already but it's over a year delayed from the previous F.A release. He does look good in those official photos....however..the photos of him using his Big Blast attack are....concerning.

I finally got my GX-71 package. I sold my first issue and I am keeping the second one. I got two of the reissue as you can see but the second was sold a couple of months ago to a friend. I would not have sold my original one if I wasn't getting the new one. It's just too good of a Chogokin figure and a too good toy period.

My order is in preparation in progress for the last couple of days...I wish they would ship it already. I need the peace of mind.

I ordered two from Nippon Yasan and they haven’t shipped yet. I got the same reply about their shipping being busy and backed up. Total BS if you ask me.
