so it only took Bandia's SIX YEARS to do Grendizer in an SP anime color, and the full set with the all of the Spazers
sadly i dont do repaints but im positive that Bandai scammed us with the OG DC trio
these anime color looks waaaaay better

On the contrary, I am only lukewarm to the sculpt. I like Getter 2 and 3 more, but Getter 1 is just OK. A bit too skinny I think. But what I am slightly disappointed is that there don't seem to have any improvements or updates on the sculpts, including the Getter Gs, even though many months had passed since we saw these. I see a number of little things they can improve upon, but are still all there untouched. Was really excited when they first announced these, but now my hype wore off and seeing the flaws still there, I am not even sure if I'll collect the whole line like I thought I would. Not too sure anymore.
from what i know (couldnt be wrong)
Pose + keep showing those grey molds then boom an improve fully painted figure in our faces

Not counting SOC Mazinger Z (or any Mazinger Z), hasn't GX-31 Voltes been the most re-issued?
hmmmm its a bit hard to know for sure since there is some releases that got reissued multiple times
GX-04 Grendizer got couple of reissues and the GX-04S also got couple of reissues
GX-13 there is like repaints and the R version as well
GX-32 gold lightan
GX-37 king Joe GX-40 godmars 2 times + the R
GX-59 Daltanious 3 times + the R GX-72 megazord 3 times + the black ver
you know whats funny
no GX-44 Tetsujin, no GX-43 Daimos, and GX-63 General franky
the issues is most of my friends me included want at least two from these 3
but good luck convincing Bandai to do an R version or even reissue them

A local supplier is selling a preorder of this for about 110 USD brand new. Not sure is there is a reissue but the price is tempting.
no reissue (as far as i know) but maybe unsold stock
$110 is decent but keep in mind this is one of the early figures from King Arts, the major weakness is the magnets are tiny so they hardly hold the plastic parts which tend to fall off easily
key points for the figure Damage armor and cool LEDs

Getter 1 keep getting better with every new pic we get
for me best looking Getter 1 so far, Getter 2 and Getter 3 are good looking also

I see it happening for Grendizer. I also prefer it over Daimos. Waiting on that Switch game coming out soon too
the game is very fun to be honest i really enjoyed it

Most of the time, I roll my eyes when people try to display their figures wearing/holding everything in the box at once, but this one calls for it. It looks amazing with those those two rockets, machine guns and dual missile-carnival launchers on its back, two other missile pods on its legs, a giant (motorized!) dual-barrels gatling gun on one arm and nunchucks in the other hand (with a second pair hanging from its waist, because why not). Both are basically the same core figure, but Heatboys managed to give them such different personalities with their decos and accessories.
you know each collector have his/her own way when it comes to displaying stuff
for me im the classic guy who just leave them in the A stand
but with the turtles they just look bad a$$ with everything on and i know the joints system can handle all of it overtime with no issues best thing the box is almost empty after attaching everything ,so i can store it away unlike other boxes that need to be store in the right place
i would like to add on your last sentence, i was surprise when i got Mikey, since i thought it will be the same but i was mistaken, the paint is different than Leo, its darker and the main armor is different as well, i love how they gave him sun glass and headphones with his name on it, and the cool hair style, they just know their stuff, i also notice the joints is a bit tighter than Leo maybe because of the weapons
at the end this is a line i hope i can complete

Have you seen the aftermarket prices of DX Voltes V? Just need a re-issue of GX-43 Daimos and GX-50 Combattler. regarding DX Voltes cheapest used is around $1300, brand new is $1365 at Ebay, i dont think its a huge change, since this was the price after the release, i remember seeing it between $900 - $1100
regarding the GX-50 i think they might release either a new version as an anniversary, or an R version
the annoying part is Daimos we need an R version or an anniversary version, it was among the top ten winners in the poll they did a while back
Imagine a DX Chogokin of Daimos. That would complete the trio
that would be nice but AFTER the DX Grendizer
knowing how Bandai's roll i know they will do an R DX version for Great Mazinger before we see the DX Grendizer lol

Even if you wanted the DX, with how the price in that skyrocketed I think most will just settle for this.
true this is the 2nd best Voltes (combining)

im having a hard time resisting this, the price is not crazy... Isn't that an understatement or what?! At about $208 shipped (ShowZ) for this is actually crazy. Crazy cheap that is, at today's standard. But that said, just the Black Shin Getter is good enough for me. I took it out from cabinet to get another good look of it and compare, I still have some issues with its proportion, enough to not rush in for another. And while the new head is better, it is not an ideal headsculpt for me still. But for others that really dig it overall, its a no brainer purchase.
i wont call it cheap, i will do like carmakers and say affordable, true it lacks some bangs and whistles from V1 but there is some bling bling to it lol
i think its more like a way to fund future projects for them since both versions sold decently, to be honest im not disappointed with any of my CCS figures even those that i didnt get are decent enough

yes i just read that, the project is canceled
the main issue here it took them very very long around 6 years, and they lost the main selling points
1-SOC scale SKL 2-rare robot 3-extra accessories
in the mean time Bandai's managed to pull one in the SOC line and CCS announced they are doing one so yes they just lost the interest from every one
its sad because i really want to see the final product but its hard for newcomers to compete with the big boys heads on

im having a hard time resisting this, the price is not crazy and its kinda of a V2 of their Shin Getter 1
but a 67cm wide wings is crazy man, KA Grendizer Spazer is around 47cm, its just crazy and the Star Slasher (scythe) is 46cm ! man thats taller than some robots in my collection lol

all the Getter's are from Armageddon anime, G included the fact that they will do all 9 is really nice, hope they will include black Getter 1 as well
Groizer-X is a very smart choice, alot of collectors wants one not to mention its a perfect transformation, to be honest after seeing this i kinda want one lol
Godmars looks good as well, i hope it turns out to be so good that it will make me forget my bad experience with the SOC

Well, it's not targeting the usual gokin collector, it's targeting hype-beasts who chase their favorite brand.
i was speaking in general, its just that not many of the new releases are interesting for me
hahaha releases like this make my collectors sense tickles. It is a pass but because my wallet is at it worst. Im trying to keep up with the lines I'm already following for now.
its just that i feel one GX-105 is more than enough i dont need a repaint that isnt related to the show, i feel this version is for the Japaneses fans not us

Grendizer sure but calling Zero cool is that last thing I'd say The AlphaMax Grendizer is a nice place holder though
what would you call it ?
CCS Zero is dead cool man, best zero ever made,
and i meant by a cool version, something that takes cues from Zero design since they are working on the robots from that universe

well for me anime accuracy is one thing but its not everything, for me the top priority is high quality and the recent Bandai' stuff have issues either QC or design flaws
