I am. But I'm still not sure if I'm gonna keep it. Even my GX-70 is still unopened.

Not a fan of jaegers, so I'm skipping this. But I'm sure the figure will be awesome and many will love it.

I already have GX-39 and happy with it. And also I don't have a good reason to get this renewal version. As for the Sentinel's version, I'm not fond of the design.

I understand and respect that every person has different preference, taste, and opinion towards everything, including to action figures and fictious characters. But that don't justify anyone to say s**tty things about a figure they're not happy with, in a dedicated thread to that figure.
A little bit of constructive criticism is accepted to certain extent. But being too fussy and nitpicking could be really annoying to other people.
It is as simple as if you don't like it, don't buy it, don't bother talking too much about it, and move on until you find what you like. Whatever we complain here won't change anything. Bandai will still sell A LOT of this figure, regardless.
If I really-really enjoy nitpicking, I could do it in few other threads here in RobotJapan. But man...that's a waste of time for me. I still have to take care my business, family, and other priorities.

www.gokin.it/2017/03/31/aggiornamento-bandai-soul-of-chogokin-gx-39-r-baikanfu-ristampa-settembre-2017/Google translate. "Then finally we try to do some 'clarity on the new reissue of Soul of Chogokin GX-39 Baikanfu. It is a new "R" version identified as R GX-39 came to the 20th anniversary of the line S.o.c. In the screenshot that we present below we have personally brought out the parts that have been subject to a renewal of design. The head will be completely new as well as the breast, now pià detailed and rich in air intakes. The biceps with its branches have been completely redesigned is now in fact disappeared quell'antiestetico and excessive space that separated them from the shoulders. Revised also forearms on the inside. New also the articulation of the hips and thighs of the panels equipped now small air vents in the inner part. It seems that perhaps his feet will be involved in a redesign, this explains why the increase in the price list. The new version "R" will be released in the month of September 2017 to 25,000 yen. As will be released new information we will update you." Interesting!

Though far more then i can afford, Id say around $350 shipped is (was) a decent price.... Not that i can't even find one even at that now.... i would have gotten one at a heartbeat if it sold for "a wishful dreamer's dream $250." It's still quite available in my country for around USD 300 - 325. But too bad most of em won't ship worldwide. With the newer version coming up, price will be lower then.

If scheduled to be released in September, pre order might started on early May. End by end of April I hope we all could get official pictures and specs of this Baikanfu. And moat importantly to decide if it's worth replacing the existing one.

That's because Masami Obari was indeed the animation director for few episodes of Machine Robo: Revenge of Chronos. He's also involved in Super Beast Machine God Dancouga. So I think it's only natural if the SOC's design has Obari's feel to certain extent.
But as for Sentinel metamor-force line (maybe Riobot line too?), in my opinion the artist partners (including Obari) must have been given more liberty to design and redesign the mechas following their ideal. Without much concern on making them precisely how they looked like in the anime. This also happened to the prototype design of Govarian.

I hate choices at times. Sentinel is also releasing Baikanfu. Sentinel vs Bandai... hard choice. For me it's easy, since I prefer sculpt and design that look close to what these bots look like in the anime back in the days. That's why I prefer Bandai's. Sentinel Metamor-force line's designs are more stylized and highly influenced by Masami Obari. It's the way they differentiate themself from other lines
