Hope I'm posting to the right place here. I just recieved the Unifive (soul of) Chogokin 'God Phoenix' diecast ship that I ordered from Diamond distributors a while back. Very nice, but it's a different color than on the 'Battle of the Planets' show; more of a teal green, than blue.
I've 'flown' several missions with it, and think it has great sculpt & features. For the $100 price... I expected that the quality control on the finish would be better. There are several small dents in the hull which look like they were done before painting; and more than a few dust fibres painted into the surface. Otherwise, a lot of fun, and a cool display stand.
I see by the gallery pics that some of you fellas have original ones. Anybody else buy one of these reissues? What did you think of yours?

Aside from the small defects (I think those tiny dents are from rough handing prior to the paint job) it looks outstanding on display. Looking at all the springs and gadgets they stuff inside, it must have been a pain to assemble.
