ChoryuJin

Just as a warning to anyone looking to buy this figure - DON'T!

[Fellow board member gpa was kind enough to pick one of these up for me at a local store. Thanks again, dude!!! ]

I just received Choryujin today. Sadly, now that I have the guy, I wish I never got him.

He looks great next to my collection of Revoltech figures (similar style, with Yamaguchi's defining exaggerated sculpting), but I was shocked about five minutes after I had him out of the packaging when the damned thing BROKE! I tried to plug in one of the pegs from his foot stands when the entire foot just ripped clean off. It basically crumbled in my hand. And when I placed him down on the table to attempt to glue the foot back on, the OTHER foot just came rolling off. I couldn't believe it! I was super gentle with this thing, too. What a piece of junk! Gah! I'm going to attempt to glue both feet back on and never EVER pose him again. He's basically a tiny, fragile statue with garbage for articulation. Ah well. At least the little Volfogg that comes with him is nice.

The original Takara version is pretty awesome too. Be sure to research it too.

They have been popping up on ebay fairly cheap lately. I picked one up, Mine does not seem to have any QC issues. like everything about it except I wish there was more face detail. The neck joint seems half as compared to so many toys I have owned by this company. Other than that, its fairly solid. Looks good with GGG.

I remember seeing these in a comic store several years ago but I kept passing cause I hoped they would remake them in the same scale they made of the jinki Extend figure, which is still one of my favorite kaiyodo figures even today. Robot museum was a good series and could have expanded tobe so much more. I feel like it was the grandfather of the revoltech line. The scale is simular, and the sculpts was of course done by Yamaguchi.
