I just sent this video (Astroman from the pilot episode of Astroganger) to 5Pro Studio & HL Peo Japan and they were like W:o W!
brother thank you so much for sharing this, a while back there was some photos from the movie but now im really happy to the see the whole thing, of course the final product is way better but hey its some thing for Astroganger so it will always be appreciated
this clip is from the first episode
remind me again how come the only companies how did a figure for Astroganger are 5Pro and HL Pro ?
we need more figures in the market, and since Bandai are way to busy for us (yea they hate us lol) i hope other companies who actually care about us will do it, Pose +, Action Toys, CCS

DAMN….that’s AWEFUL MPchi! Always appreciate your input S. Yes but CCS NEEDS to bring back external metal. I will be back then. I’ll wait till they implement outside metal. Gokin without metal on outside? Come on! Till then, Pose and Action Toys will have me haha. but I’m still waiting on them to release an irresistible robot for ME. Here’s my top 5 for ANY of them to make…(again? *groan*) who GROANED!! 1 Robotizer 2 Groizer 3 Getter Dragon 4 The Dark General 5….Texas Mack (both version’s cool as hell) for me its not a big deal honestly, the figure feels great in hand
if putting metal outside will change anything in their product recipe then im fine with the metal been outside, im looking forward on thier Shin Getter 1, it will either beat the EX or be the 2nd place at least

late reply
personally on my unit i didn't come across the issues you guys mentioned, the scrander was very secure inside and did not fall out, i also saw a comment mentioning that the scrander put weight in the figure so it start to lean backwards, all you need to do is to adjust the mid section and the figure will be able to stand perfectly
for the legs and feet, it was a bit challenging but after i figured how the joints works and how to adjust it right, it doesn't wobbles or give the 1 leg stand look
1 killer feature in this figure is the eyes even without LED they look bright and normal, unlike some figures that looks dead when the LED is off,
alot of great choices for CCS 2nd figure, i cant wait for shin getter 1, and i hope they will do some other cool robots as well, they have my full support

Thanks for the tip. I'll email them directly instead. No doubt the figure is quality stuff. SRC is no contest, not even in the same league. Compared it to my Fewture EX Gokin, it didn't age as well as I thought. While nice it has a lot of clickies, the proportion and engineering is much nicer on CCS Toys Zero, and the clicky hip ratchets are wobbly. CCS Zero would have been pretty perfect, if not for the busted head and the couple looser joints. Once again I wish I could have access to the screws in the lower elbows/arms as that should have been an easy fix if I can open it. But everything is sealed tight and hidden.
most welcome, and exactly i was going to display it with the non combainers SOC and stuff but it just didnt fit with them so i put it with the big boys, Fewture and the DX's, and it fit perfectly
i still love my EX gokin since its the original zero and all, but i think this one is the best Zero ever made, articulation and all, the only thing i wish they added is closed fist the articulated one is cool but it could be tricky to close them

i dont think thats a big deal, because if you want the original Mazinkiaser you will get the Max Factory, if you want the OVA Mazinkaiser you will get the Aoshima, and if you want the Movie Mazinkaiser you will get the GX75
both Sentinel and Hagane Works are not accurate so the it doesn't matter how they scale with the rest

thats a nice amount of diecast but still the lions heads should be diecast as well especially the blue and the yellow lions, 38cm and 2.2KG will put alot of stress on those
making the shield bigger is half of the answer the sword need to be bigger and bulkier as well, since it looks like a tooth pick
they are trying to justify the price tag but i want to see a review for it

Finally got my Zero. Just opened it and found out mine came with a unique "bobble head" feature. With closer inspection, turned out the clear yellow plastic socket of the neck ball joint inside the head cracked open and split in half. Gotta love it when I am so blessed. So the head comes off with little to no effort, as not much friction is left to hold it in place. I'll see if ShowZ can get me a replacement head from CCS Toys, but I am not betting on it. We'll see. Initial impression of the figure (main body, haven't got to accessories yet) is very good. Heavy, big, sturdy, pose well, and the finish overall is good. Feels like an oversized Metal Build (friction only metal joints) but with less paint (black plastic aren't painted, but has some surface treatment). The 2 lower elbow joints on mine are on the looser side however (one side looser than the other), and I find the feet bottom not sculpted perfectly flat, causing the figure to wobble a bit no matter how flat I made the feet sit on the surface in different angles for a standing pose. Some finger joints are looser than others as well. Overall, this is a really good gokin for the price, though QC and minor fit and finish gave me a not so ideal experience handling the toy. Pretty much a close to perfect toy got messed up by QC for me.
so sorry to hear man, for me its the best zero even better than the Heavy Metal
i highly recommend you go directly to CCS support since showz will take months to help you
oversea-support@mile-stone.jp
they are so polite and professional, helped me with my GL in no time

Hello! I've been lurking for a while, learning the interface, enjoying everyone's pictures and gaining a lot of knowledge. I've been a super robot fan all my life, but it became a real hobby the past few years. I've been collecting Chogokin and anime soundtracks, and watching the old shows wherever I can find them. I still have a Jumbo "Majinga" that was given to me by Santa Claus himself quite some time ago. Looking forward to joining the discussions!
hello and welcome we are glad to have with us

So says the Oracle !!!! Ya they will recreate variations on line up and I think Bandai is still shy on this: where are the full clear version ? Where is the dissected with cut out parts like the did on dx SOC ? Eheh... Frankly, bring on a KUROGANE !!!! The SOC Big O 2nd version is an absolute jewel. I kept extra ex of GX-01 and GX-01R to turn them in this when « custom time and relax » will be one day on my schedule :/ Actually Bandai is also pushing a lot on getter licence, wonder what recolor they can propose...
hey at least its better than the SRC variety

No, not SD. Ryujinmaru is SD because thats how the mech looks like in the anime. Has nothing to do with the toyline being SD. Maybe you're thinking of the ES Gokin line? Nothing released in the Metal Build line has been SD. I think you are talking about ryujinmaru but thats the way that mecha looks in the anime. they look like SD characters, so the Metal build looks like the actual character...
this is exactly why i asked because Rryujinmaru is an SD robot and the line is called Dragon Scale so i thought maybe the line will be for SD robots, in the Metal Robot line they did the fabulous Knight Gundam, which is originally an SD robot, but they made it a real type
i hope you guys are right and Bandai could give a good Shin Getter 1, as you know early products from any of their lines are jaw dropping, or those robots that doesn't fit the line, i feel there is something extra about them

correct me if im wrong, the MB Dragon Scale is more like an SD type figures ?
if so then we will get Shin Getter in SD form ?
i wont pay alot of attention to Bandai since i know they hate us lol, but i will keep an eye on the CCS toys one looks really promising

With a display stand, the weight will be evenly distributed to larger area, so it will be much less likely to break the glass
i think that depends on the stand, some stands have alot of metal in them, like the EX Gokin Spazer stand, the base of it is just metal so that will add weight, not to mention the space it will take

GX-75's Mazinkaiser is one of my favorite SOCs. Tempted by this one, but saving up for GX-100.
you could go for the Hagane works, same design, durable, and comes with a cool throne, its smaller than this tho, but hey for $130 im not complaining
