giant companies THINK they’re infallible… Come on, NO company’s infallible. (Even Jeff Bezo knows that…)
Just look at COUNTLESS companies like Sony(arguably), Atari, Sega, Wellsfargo, IBM,Blackberry…on and on. Bandai can also be part of that history if they keep this going…well it’s “high end” departments anyways.

It’s a real shame giant company like Bandai lagging behind a RELATIVE new comer like CCS
Loose Joints are inexcusable…why didn’t Bandai use plastic like POM /nylon between metal parts in those metal joint?
Not a fan of those hexagon motive plastered just ALL over the place like cheap tattoo…
I wish Bandai would bring back INFINITISM MB.

Hey Holdyourfireal.
I’m guessing there weren’t “real” demand for it… I have the King Arts version and that thing just sat there at BBTS for the LONGEST! And I tried TRIED to convince bros how awesome the piece (especially for the price of $250] was but I don’t think too many folks bought it.
There just no love for the character it seems. It’s too bad because I think he’s really super cool character with awesome aesthetics. I still love KA God Mazinger and display him proudly.

No shipping notice from ShowZ either BUT!!
Superb service and their packaging is extremely “robust.”
I had a minor issue with my shipped order and Tayler took care of it “within 10 minutes!” (I be polite and civil and shops will more than likely work with me.)
Based on MY several orders from them, I HIGHLY recommend ShowZ. Five G’s from me…ggggGeee~~

Hello everyone, I found this forum a while ago when I was researching size and scale for different models, I found Gold's 2010 post regarding scale of various Super and Real Robots invaluable and when I decided to purchase a few Gokin recently I found mpchi's review extremely helpful. When I realized I kept coming back to the forum for great reviews and photos I should really make an account. That was last year during PCS season and I put off posting until our household goods arrived from overseas and I finished getting the house setup. Time sure flies! About me: my love of giant robots started like a lot of others by watching Voltron (GoLion) and Gigantor (Tetsujin-28) as a youngster, and really enjoying franchises like Gundam, Macross and Captain Harlock as they made their way stateside in various forms. I'm very fortunate that my wife also enjoys giant robots and we've watched a lot of the classics, Mazinger, Getter Robo, Daitarn 3 together. I mostly collect small scale figures (gashapon) that I use for tabletop gaming. Over the last 5 years or so I've started collecting larger models since I love seeing a sense of scale between an 18m robot and a 60m one. My most recent purchase was the SoC Getter Emperor after reading the reviews by mpchi, Getterboi and Gold. I'll need to take some collection photos after I get our hobby room cleaned up a bit. Welcome aboard brother!!

Hi Epicasino, sorry to hear about the defect…we been there and it sucks.
I say keep the figure and put the refunded money towards to fund another figure.
There three hard cold objective Reasons for my suggestion:
1. If you get another 105, it MIGHT have either same or other defects, or both…(why risk the pain again). 2. You MIGHT consider the defect not THAT serious as you’d probably likely just display it “MUSEUM pose” anyways (like most of us, if not, my apologies for the assumption.) 3. Most likely this piece is not going to go up in value (not anytime soon for obvious reasons), so why give it an another chance of getting the “perfect” specimen.

I’m going to “guess” all the acrylic figure base are magnetized! That would be cool.

You know Sentinel….HAS give a “weak point” on every release.
Nonetheless(nevertheless?) at least they’re pushing the boundaries. It’s one of Sentinel’s top three in my Sentinel “book.”
