I would adk HLPro on their facebook page, but they usually delete the comments/question they don't want others to see (true fact). }| Yeah that is bad business.I dont like that type of conduct. |

I just realized that HLPro reminds me a lot of car companies. Every year they make these "concept cars" that never ever see the light of day. Grendizer V2, and I'm sure, the Kotetsu Jeeg, seem to be HLPro's concept cars...  }| Man, I almost forgot the awesome Kotetsu Jeeg prototype model from them - I really really want it! |

Looks like BBTS is indeed carrying Gattaiger through Fewture for around $235 for either version. HLPro made a good with Fewture.

The Jeeg prototype was ordered by Zona Hobby, last I heard about that one Zona Hobby kept pushing the release date back due to one thing or another. It wasn't a Metaltech.. it was something that a comic store wanted HLPRO to make for them. It didn't even carry the HLPRO name on it.. It was a Zpro.

Still hope HLPRO or Zpro will make that Jeeg though.  |

It was my understanding that those ZPro Jeegs were pretty much just for the Italian market as a Zona Hobby exclusive. That means not many would have been made and the price would have been equally "exclusive", if you get my meaning.

Probably due to the recent deep discount fire sale at EE, the same happened in the USA.

I had chance to play with Gin Gin i bought from Entertainment Earth. Extremely happy with both HLPro and EE.
Just briefly, GinGin is sturdy and heavy. He,s very playable. Made of real quality plastic with soft luxurious clicky joints just about everywhere. Even his wrist joints are butter smooth. All the joints feel really really good. Im very impressed with this figure. Gin Gin def wont be my last metal tech. The packaging is just lovely. I dare say out of all forty something gokin toy boxes i have, this is the only one i wouldn't toss. The hand drawn illustration is absolutely work of art.
At $87 total I paid, its a "nice" price.
Here comes the constructive criticism... The proportion is little odd and The head paint is not Bandai perfect. And i wish the dark blue grey parts were bit darker to make other colors pop more. Overall great figure. I love mine. I cant wait for Z Mazinger , my sure fire next metaltech purchase.

Weren't they supposed to update Gin Gin so that the saw blades actually pegged into the saucer properly?
