Dude! Does he have any more! I’ll ask. I’m in Canada, and you’re in the US right? Yessir. I’m interested in the Baxinger - I’ve already got the GoShogun (very cool - BTW). Happy to pay extra postage or whatever is required. Definitely let me know if he’s looking to sell another unit at a reasonable price. Many thanks and congratulations on your score!

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.

GX-10 Boss Borot is pretty pricey, generally speaking. Especially considering it initially retailed for, like, $60 or something back in the mid 2000’s.

Bummer. It’s cool that they replaced them, though.

Rats. Oh, well. The response to the Pose+ figures have been so positive, I think they’d do well to eventually produce additional runs of P02 and P03, at least. Fingers crossed.

Hey, Kuma. I can’t recall specifically why I suspect a QC issue being the reason for the supply deficit but I do remember hearing something about Pose+ establishing some priority regarding supplier distribution - I only speculate that translates into regional hierarchy (Hong Kong, Japan, Europe, and eventually US?). Regardless, I pre-ordered from BBTS last June, I think, but definitely around the same time pre-orders were listed from all the reliable distributors. As far as I know, the BBTS order was never filled, unfortunately. They still have my pre-order in their cue and continue to adjust the date of delivery out month by month, so, hope springs eternal? I don’t hold BBTS responsible or anything - I didn’t need to put any money down - but, again, I’m praying Pose+ is able to eventually fill my order. I’m sure everything is totally f’d as far as Chinese production is currently concerned. Did anyone else who ordered from BBTS receive their Baxinger?

So, there are way more important and serious global issues to consider in this surreal day to day but I wonder if anyone heard anything or had reason to suspect Pose+ would be producing additional Baxinger units? I’d gathered they ran into QC issues after their initial run and were unable to fill their initial orders. As such, I thought, maybe, they’d be producing another run to fulfill them or, possibly, doing another run in response to the positive feedback they’ve received re: Baxinger thus far. I still have a standing pre-order with BBTS but I’m unsure if it will be fulfilled (BBTS can’t confirm either, unfortunately). Does anyone have any info about another run of P02 or if we should hold out hope another run will be produced? Want this guy sooo badly. Many thanks and keep washing them hands, dudes.

That’s funny - I was looking at my Eagle Fighter today (I keep it in Dancouga head form for display) and wondering how much it’d cost to finish out the set at that scale. I roughly figure it’d required a 24” tall Big Moth to make it work. If they skimped on metal, maybe it’d cost $500 for Big Moth? Plus another $500 for the feet and wing, maybe? I guess it could be done albeit unlikely. It’d be pretty awesome though. The Dancouga head sculpt on Eagle Fighter looks great. Oh, well. Fingers crossed.

The Fewture Gatchaspatan is totally awesome, BTW. I realize this isn’t the accurate (dedicated) thread in which to give such a shout out but, again, it is such a satisfying homage to the classic Popy toy, it can’t go without mentioning. Miraculously, the anime colored (standard) version is still available at reasonable prices from third party vendors. The hyper shooter set was produced in a limited quantity and does currently command a higher price, unfortunately.

Thanks, man. I haven’t heard back from Joel yet but I’m glad to hear his response to you wasn’t indicative of a cancellation, generally. Hope springs eternal.

Any word from BBTS as to when they’re getting Baxinger? My head will explode if they’re unable to fill the order. Fingers crossed...

@greengetter: Yeah, man. I’m glad you like it too. It’s a great rendition of an obscure character. I love mine, although I think the light gimmick is a little underwhelming - not enough luminance for my taste but a cool option nonetheless. Regarding the face plate change: if you pop the head off of its ball joint, the faceplates come out very smoothly - I think you might need to slide them down, if I recall correctly. Pretty sure they’re held in by magnets like the skull cap but you definitely need to pop the head off to change them.

I asked NY to cancel my order and issue a refund earlier this afternoon. I’ll have better luck buying a Dairugger on eBay at this point - as absurd as it may seem to say so, I think it’ll actually be less expensive to buy from the scalpers now. I can’t begin to describe my dissatisfaction with NY’s service. I pre-ordered gx-88 almost six months ago and paid the ridiculously inflated price they were asking without question - like, $490 including shipping. I think their business practices are absolutely reprehensible. It sucks to take advantage of customers interest and to falsely inflate preorder prices relative to demand. It sucks to take advantage of customers and inflate your shipping charges to grab some extra cash. It sucks to charge in full at the moment of pre-order. It REALLY sucks not to be able to fulfill your customers’ orders, especially after having behaved so disrespectfully. Never ordering from NY again.

Does anyone know if it’s possible/easy to cancel orders at Nippon Yasan? I feel crappy doing so but they’ve been so slow to ship on orders we (I) placed at unreasonably elevated prices. It seems like there are options available elsewhere for more immediate delivery at +$100 less then NY has got me on the hook for. Has anyone had success cancelling with them?

Yeah, this is pretty irritating. Especially considering that I paid their outrageous mark-up immediately after all of the usual suspects had sold out during that wild pre-order. Grumble....

If the quality is good, I'll bite. I could use a fine looking Dancouga in the collection It'll be better than the OG. What makes you say so, Kuma? I know you’re a huge fan of the original so, if you’re thinking this one will be better, you’re assessment is noteworthy. I don’t know anything about this company. Do they produce nice stuff?
