Not a fan of GL but damn that unit looks sick. Hope Sentinel will continue their awesome releases!

So I found one of Amazon and paid about $57 for it (should've been $47 but because of free shipping but idk why it changed, contacted seller). Says its new so hopefully I get what I ordered for. Not sure why it was so cheap but I guess I'll give it a shot (most likely a mistake, lets just see what happens). Are you sure you got the renewal? Their was an original and if you look at my pic above you'll see there's a difference. Plus only the renewal comes with the super parts. Yep, I'd like to think that it is the renewal because its listed as super part set (description and pictures)+ someone asked a question and was confirmed. Unless the seller listed it wrong of course. For that price I guess its okay even if it was the original. Fingers crossed.

Do you guys think there'll be anything after this from the DX line? Probably a cannon fodder RVF-171. Oh and a whole bunch more Valks from the Macross 30 game since they're already doing it now starting with the Isamu and Ozma YF-29's. Some examples please. Don't have the game so I'm outta the loop

W00t...CDJapan has it available for alot less than YesAsia. Canceled my initial preorder from YesAsia and bought from CDJapan. Still in stock for those who want to preorder! How the hell did I miss you comment... I check the boards quite often! Missed another chance...

Back on topic. Is this thing worth the hassle considering its complex/ over design

What is that clear stand? Those flightpose stands. Not sure if they're still doing business still. Check them out. Flightpose.com What is the length of the one you have? Seems pretty high. For its price I guess I'll get it.

Really wanna get the 30th anniversary YF 29 but its $100 more than an Isamu! Still hoping the local store stocks the Ozma good luck on finding this valks local. i doubt u can find it cheap even if it available. Hoping that the Ozma won't go over $275. If it does I may as well just get a fewture Getter Dragon for a hundred more

I could get the Isamu + Super parts and that would cost me less than just the Ozma (if the store stocks it that is).

Why don't people buy the Isamu version? So many left.

While i agree with a lot of the folks on the thread that this release of the Getters were in fact great with a lot of new plus to the overall fewture ex gokin line, my biggest disappoint had to with Poseidon figure. Not because of the figure but with the million and one paint smudges I had on my figure that was seen on the chest and leg areas with my specimen. I'm not sure what happened but the smudges were atrocious on mines. I'm not even sure, but has anyone dealt with Nippon-Yasan's customer service department here? I'm actually thinking about asking them on this as I'm guessing I'm one of the lucky few that ended up with a relatively smudged-up Poseidon figure... If only the paint smudges weren't so visible on mines, I'd let it go but as it stands the best one of the bunch had to be getter dragon and as someone else had mentioned it before the q.c. just sort of dropped with each new figure release for this series I wont even get into my feelings about NY, its a lost cause. Trust me. You know what I did to clean up the smudges? I had fingerprints in my paint like they didnt wait for paint to dry before handling it (NO EXCUSE FOR THIS AT THIS PRICE) What I did is rub the area with polishing compound, not straight up compound but turtle wax polishing compound and a terry cotton cloth. You wanna rub the spot with some pressure. Do a couple of rubs and check the cloth. You will see color meaning it is eating away at the paint. Depending on how deep the smudges are, you should be able to rub it away by removing paint. After all that is how they do it at the factory with a high speed buffing machine. They just seem to do this while on crack. I had a 1969 mazinger with a HAND BRUSHED foot that was actually FLAT black. Seems they forgot to polish it. At least it looks like the paint is applied thick. Just be careful...oh and its possible to make it look even glossier than possible from factory since they rush through the process. Remember Bandai's red Energer Z? Its a $70 toy retail and mass produced but it had an absolutely FLAWLESS paintjob, probably the best Ive seen yet. Then theres Fewture that makes very few of these at $500 retail, meaning their workers can spend a little more time with these but they make them like sh*t. EVERY DAMN fewture figure I have has flaws in their finish...every single one including the ES Gokins. Gotta remember that Bandai is a much larger and well established company

Head looks great and all but I feel that the super robot designs are a little bit too simple for head displays.

Feel the same way..The absolute .best gokin i own. Poseidon is just an amazing piece of diecast toy art. exceptional. Text book gold standard on how to on gokin robot. Care to elaborate? I'm one of those guy who isn't too big on most Getter 3s (Fewtures Getter 3 though is intriguing) so I don't see the appeal
