Wow, it looks great, but now I wish the 00 would be revamped. Maybe they should have saved all the light gimmicks for a PG Qan[t]
also, nice to see them doing the open hatch gimmick again.
hmmmm.... molded fingers and hands. That's weird. I'd have thought they would have articulated fingers

I thought this was a weird release for a p-bandai. It's got the classic grey and olive green coloring of a mass production Gelgoog, but they are pairing it with the Gelgoog canon backpack. I would have preferred if they gave the MS grey purple and light grey colors if they were planning on making it a gelgoog canon. Now I'm wondering, Will they be releasing a regular, non p-bandai, version without the canon? Will the char colorway be a p-bandai release too? and why hasn't this figure shown up on the us.p-bandai.com site? MSB Mass production Gelgoog on the way. Finally. Looks amazing, but it's an online exclusive. www.taghobby.com/archives/221788Hopefully they announce Char's Gelgoog as a retail release soon.

It's priced up because it's P-Bandai (of course) On the old subject of RD pricing, anyone have any clue why the hell the Ghost Crossbone is costs 50% more than Crossbone Full Cloth yet comes with less accessories? Surely they aren't charging that much more for vaguely metallic paint?

Going to try to ask again but does anyone know if there are ways to tighten MB joints (specifically te waist and knee)? I know the nail polish trick but usually thats done on things that can be disassembled to a certain point to reveal the joint. I would love to know too. My MB Strike Freedom's left wing is loose at the rotating joint. I tried looking for a screw or anything to tighten it, cause unfortunately it can no longer support the WoL. Fortunately the WoL parts include a crutch to support the wings so they can be displayed splayed out.

I was checking out the Riobot Mazinkaiser (with the added details and modified proportions), compared it to the SoC Mazinkaiser (with its "anime accuracy"), and it got me thinking. Which super robots are you ok with seeing customized, and which designs do you consider sacred and shouldn't be messed with? Bandai's DC SoC line has taken anime accuracy to new levels while Fewture's EX Gokin line takes customiziation to new heights. Personally, I collect both both of these lines, but I remember when I got the Ex Gokin Great Mazinger... I was impressed by its size and heft, but something about it left a bad taste in my mouth, like a line had been crossed. Maybe it was the toys materials, like all the soft rubbery parts, or maybe it was the redesign, (or MAYBE it's the price of these toys on the secondary market) but I was discouraged from hunting down Ex Gokin Mazinger Z. However, I love seeing Getter Robo get run through the creative blender. I think I feel the same for Mazinkaiser.
I've seen members complain about minute design issues so I'm really curious to see what the Robot Japan community thinks.

Wow, the Shin Getter 1 might be the figure that gets me looped into to the riobot line. The size is just fantastic.
But that scythe.... yeah, they kind of lost me there.

Hmmm... yeah, it's like comparing apples and pears.I do agree with grayson with the fact that the SoC is more anime accurate (and I am definitely a fan of anime accuracy), but the added details on the Sentinel look pretty dope. If I had more money, I'd get both, but I don't want to get addicted to another robot toy line.

God dammit. Used MB Freedom that I got has a loose waist and left leg... (ebay). pretty disappointing... Kind want my money back EDIT: Yeah I really do want my money back. Thing can't even stand on its own. Just contacted the seller about it. Anyone dealt with something like this where the listing says no refunds/ returns but their item was basically flawed unlike their listed condition? I would contact the seller and contact eBay. I think eBay has a money back guarantee kind of thing. Good luck!

So are these cool models that I would have to paint(which I suck at!) or cool toys? LOL Super duper detailed models complete with markings and die cast plus its already built! Me too I sucked at gunpla Very nice toy line by Bandai The newest kits are require less and less paint. The color separations are amazing, and since glue isn't required, just about anyone with a pair of side cutters can make them
