Don't feel too bad. I got mine at around $380 from HLJ...(over $100 just on shipping)
also, the last two sales item I picked up from ShowZ was lemon with SERIOUS QC issue...so there is that.(YMMV of course)
FULL DISCLOSURE: ShowZ is taking care of me directly through the respective companies and their factory. And one of the defective item is out of print item and was out 30 days return window period so they ARE treating me right.

oof, that's not good...
I have a piece that's shipped from them so I'll def report in.
edit: mine being shipped from Yanwen...my item is 4inch ALL plastic figure (with no batteries nor magnet). Let's see if that makes any difference.

he looks amazing and sounds like he's a real hand candy.
but I want to thank you for the heads up on the smell of the figure for some of us who are more sensitive to it. I appreciate it.

greengetterguy You should allow nominations until the end of the year and start the polls in January. Technically DX SOC Mazinger reissue is coming out before end of 2023... so could still qualify but no one has it in hand yet to nominate it. Agree. Should give the late release the last couple weeks of Dec, before we wrap things up. Also, are we still doing just 1 vote per person? Sometimes it is hard to just get to vote on 1 thing, when you have a couple 'favorites of the year'. Often very good release barely gets any vote because of that in the past couple years. 3 votes per person would be nice, but I'll go along with whatever you guys want to stick with. It is just for fun afterall. oof for some reason I thought you asked for 2 votes per member...sorry but we can do three votes per member on TOTY 2024 if there no valid objections. meanwhile due to a popular demand, we can vote TWICE this year's TOTY yay!!

Alright guys,
I will be closing the nomination part of this ceremony "soon" and start "the polling process."
If you have a 2023 "candidate" in mind, this is YOUR call.
Good luck to your candidate, and I hope he wins.teehee

I'm really sorry to hear about your copy. (How annoying and stressful the situation is!)
But I am glad they are being accountable. I'll be sure to open mine up and inspect it as soon as it gets here. Thank you for the heads up.

Dudes, I got this today, and maybe because it's new toy syndrome, but currently it is my favorite Getter-1 toy to date. And I own a LOT of Getter toys. Almost 1 of every mold (except the Bandai MB- waiting for a clearance price drop on that). If you are a fan of Armageddon fat boy Getter, you NEED this. Weighs 1032g before you even put on any accessories. My only nitpick would be the cape is made out of 2-ply nylon, and to me it feels a bit cheap. Loved mine too but his right thigh armor plate does not stay put when attached. Only the magnetic part sticks well but the other end does not. Same with the damaged part. His left armor piece fits nicely though. The cape is also not that great. I heard the black getter cape got improved or something. Painted face would have better. Not a fan or led effects parts Other than that, this figure is awesome! Hello yeah, I had the exact same issue with mine (right(?) thigh armors) . but after I firmly pushed it in, it's all good now. FIXED on mine. Looks perfect now.

I got mine and all I have to say is WOW! Best Armageddon Getter 1 ever! The thing is a brick!!! I hope they make all Getter figures from the Armageddon series including Shin 1, 2 & 3. I just opened him up and...yeah. I agree. He deserves all the praise and all those reviewers weren't exaggerating. This thing is AMAZING.

Has Bandai close "the strange gap" on Doublas' bottom of his "underwear?" (Thanks in advance) I don't see any gap or other weirdness there. But now that I think about it, isn't it the same waist parts that are used on GX-01 anyhow? Nice, that means Bandai FIXED and closes the "ahem" part line gap on his hip. EDIT: actually, I checked out S_Gokin's IG photos of him and...I see the part line gap on bottom of his "underwear." (Sad but expected.) Getterboi, I adjusted the dates tobe more accomodating. MPchi, I "think" the Poll this site uses only allows one vote per person.
