One poster had mentioned (several pages back) he got his weapon set even though he ordered only poseidon, while madkilla (on this page) mentioned he didnt, so why the double standards? If its not the fault of retailers, then how did this problem come about? Madkilla@ just curious, does the box of your poseidon comes with an empty slot meant for the weapon set? The reason i am asking this is to check if there is a different packaging for boxes that does not include the bonus weapon. Well, people who ordered a single poseidon and didn't get the weapon set (from bbts I believe), said their box wasn't opened and it was factory sealed from fewture, meaning bbts couldn't have removed the weapons. What it seems like it happening, is that fewture shipped out poseidon two ways, one with and one without, based on how the retailers ordered their figures. If the retailer ordered a set, then sold that set as individual pieces, those poseidons would have the weapons. However if the retailer ordered their poseidons to be sold as single units as just single units, then they were shipped by fewture without the weapons. That is the most logical sense to make of this. If retailers are removing weapons from poseidons because fewture shipped them all with weapons, then it is fewture who is at fault here, for claiming the weapons to be exclusive, but just packing all the figures with them anyways. I doubt that is what is happening and based on people getting factory sealed poseidons without the weapons, what I outlined is the only real logical sense to make of this. Make sense? as for my liger and poseidon, they have been in customs since Monday!!! I'm getting annoyed and worried that they are being tampered with. Some asshole inspection officer better not be cutting haphazardly into my boxes and messing with myridiculously expensive gokins! Yes, it does makes sense, but really complicated, fewture might have to mark the poseidon boxes with/without the bonus weapons especially when both type of boxes are exactly the same size. Hope that you get your liger and poseidon soon. I hate it when my stuff get held up for too long in customs, not only the delay is annoying, my local customs and post office tend to mishandle my packages, especially large boxes.

Clearly, some retailers are trying to pull a fast one by taking out the gift set. So i suppose this experience tells us who to preorder from and who not to in the future. Read back the last page or so. The evidence does not support your claim that retailers are somehow being dishonest or intentionally removing the gift set. One poster had mentioned (several pages back) he got his weapon set even though he ordered only poseidon, while madkilla (on this page) mentioned he didnt, so why the double standards?

I received my Poseuden from TnT yesterday - I must say, I'm surprised. I only ordered the Liger & Poseiden from them, and I got the tomahawk-thing bonus. A pleasant surprise. So I guess there's no rhyme & reason as to who does & doesn't get the gift set item. Clearly, some retailers are trying to pull a fast one by taking out the gift set.

Excellent review odeean. 3 similar ships in the SOC line is indeed a bit excessive.

I will definitly choose the SOC version (GX-04S) for its superior build quality over the CM version, although the latter does have greater shelf presence and mine is still in one piece (partly due to less adventurous poses and not combining with the spacer).

Nice colour scheme! Love it! But still considering whether to buy, the numerous chogokin dx releases is killing my wallet.

so far, I guess most of us here ordered all 3 and got the bonus double g tomahawk. so the question is, anyone managed to buy Poseidon alone and successfully acquired the bonus weapon set? (with no increase in price?). if its No, then I suppose its all good, even if the seller have to remove the weapon set (and sell separately) its still fair to us folks who order the 3 as a set. but if theres anyone to be blame for all this confusion, it has to be fewture for not properly organizing the sale of the items. I did. That's what I was saying a few posts above. I ordered only the Poseidon from Nippon Yasan last week. I didn't even preorder it, just got it off their site once it showed in stock. It was 370k yen + $74 for fed ex shipping to the US and included the Tomahawk set. sorry. missed your earlier post. feel sorry for collectors that went out of the way to buy all 3 just to get the bonus item.

Thanks for the review charles. So it does confirm my suspicion that the bonus weapon set comes pre-pack with the last item of the series ie poseidon, which is pretty much in line with fewture normal practise. I remember TnT telling me they only sell the 3 as a set and the bonus weapon is a certainty if i order all 3.

Is that supposed to be taku sato's work? I do agree that it does not look too hot on paper, but professor robo works have not failed me as yet, i would be keen to see the prototype before deciding to buy or not.

Seems that fewture will have an announcement in the summer of 2014 for grendizer, perhaps a prototype by then?

I'm kinda getting tired of EX Getters from Fewture. There's just too many of them now. I wished they made something else like Grendizer for a change. Agree! Theres a high chance i wont be buying anything from this release. Money saved!

I already purchased the regular EX Gokin Gatchaspartan, I really like this hyper shoot one with the figures but don't know if it's worth putting two in the display case. The first one was $$$ and big (but so worth it). Yeah, the little figures are nice to have but dont think i will buy the hyper shoot version since i never get the god phoenix repaint. But i am really hoping fewture releases god phoenix vehicles ie eagle sharp, condor etc

NY bump up the shipping price for my getter dragon as well. guess its poor estimation on their part.

with the number of fans complaining bout src grendizer's non conformance to its anime, i wonder how they will react to fewture's grendizer

since fewture is known to pack the bonus item with the last piece of the set of 3, it would be interesting to know if anyone only purchase poseidon and get the bonus weapons.
