Hlpro certainly have their own style.
The proportion on the Zmazinger has the trademark metaltech
Odd and charming but not quite there look....I like ET proportion lot more.

So I scored a Giru Giru on Monday when it was down to $89.50. (It since has jumped to $129 and then $149.) Here's what arrived today. |

That's correct. And today I received my replacement order and I can't even provide an amazon link for this one. It's called the Scrummylicious Meal Planner; a sh*tty dollar store quality dry erase board. Now some of those weird reviews for the item are starting to make sense. No clue what's going on here, and apparently amazon doesn't either. I was on the phone with them for probably 45 minutes. They've now taken the item off-line and are investigating. I was given a refund and my account was noted that if and when amazon has the product back up for sale I will receive it at my initial price of $89.50.  They were down to 4 remaining this evening. I wonder what happened to everyone else in the same boat? |

Yeah Ross thanks for reminding me. PBM's order was filled by HLpro at least 3 weeks ago and HLpro has been waiting for payment to arrive. I heard a few days ago that payment was on the way. So it shouldn't be much longer. Its a really big shipment and the Jumbos that are coming are the LAST Grendizer Jumbos to be made. HLpro said they have been making those Grendizer Jumbos for too long and they are going to cut them to secure the collectors value. So I gotta jump on those... aslo 12" Mazigner Z vinyl action figures are coming.. I gotta get one of those too so I can find a match for my Great Mazinger.. also the next 12" vinyl action figure was decided on and its badass.. not sure if I got permission to announce that one though so Ill check with Hlpro first before I say more. Bunch of good sh*t coming our way all in a short time from HLpro.. bunch of metaltechs over the next 18 months or so.

Quoted from Metaltech's site, " METALTECH 04 GIN GIN, Roboizer will be done with a non destructive engineered design, avoiding large gaps between articulations such as the top and back of the legs, skinny waist, shrunked head and etc.. also will respect as in the anime movements and poses."
I'm pretty sure this is directed towards Bandai SRCs.
Metaltech's of course completely right about all the stings towards Bandai's SRCs of course.
The point about "The shrunken heads and skinny waists" of majority of SRCs ring especially true to me.
I completely agree with HLPro. I find it ugly when Bandai tries give that BS "superhero" proportion to my super robots.
I will hold the judgement till Gin Gin comes out, but if the quality of future Metaltechs be worth the twice the SRC or at least equal in quality of Sentinel Getter then it will have my attention. Aside from sculpt, I mean if the articulation of Metaltech is at least half of that of SRC while hiding all the unsightly kibbles involved with joint articulations, then Metaltech has valid argument. What do you think?
But all the points Hlpro's making about Bandai from the maker of Metaltech 1 Grendy, it's kinda funny and ironic...
At least HLPro's trying, I wonder Bandai even can or willing to see it's shortcominngs....
