I have mine on pre-order at ToynToys and they just updated their Shin Getter link by apologizing on behalf of Fewture and saying it will be out at the end of May/beginning of June.
fingers crossed!!

I think it's a typo Skizz. I wish to God it was released at the end of May...!

It doesn't seem to be a typo as it's on their front page......or maybe they mean May 2011!!! ;D
But seriously, hopefully we'll have it by beginning of next month

Fewture's site stills lists it as of Summer 2010. But I do see that the retailers (Angolz, ToysNToy) show it as a Spring of 2010 arrival. Let's hope they know something we don't.

I thought I read somewhere it was more like August 2010. However, I really don't care right now. It is on pre-order with BBTS and they take a while to get their merchandise anyway. I feel sorry for the people that pre-ordered and pre-paid with Paypal. It there has been more than 45 days from payment, they are not protected at all! Even the credit cards only give you 60 days of protection after payment. That is why I pre-ordered with BBTS, because they do not charge anything until they are ready to ship the item.

According to my local distributor, Fewture Shin Getter is confirmed releasing in end May 2010. However, I'm taking it with a pinch of salt. It's commonplace for Fewture to release a last minute delay statement.

Well, not much to go now, we'll soon know in a few days. Anyone heard about any more upcoming figures in the EX line. I had my heart set on those Machine Blasters, buI doubt we'll ever see them...

No updates that I have seen. Which is odd, since the Shin Getter is about to be released. I would bet that an announcement will happen by early fall. (C'mon Grendizer......)

I sent an e-mail to Angolz -- where I pre-ordred the Shin Getter 1 -- asking if this will indeed be released in late May/early June. I hope a get a quick reply.

Everything made by Fewture seems to be delayed constantly nowadays. Entries in their ES Gokin line has been pushed back multiple times. What gives?

Quality control. If you are paying 350$ for a toy they better make sure they do it right.

Angolz sent me an e-mail and said something to the effect of "Shin Getter 1 is on pre-order...the manufacturer has not released this product yet". I had asked if it was on schedule to ship May/June. Just wait and see, I guess.

Toyntoys website has been updated to the third quarter of this year........guess I wasn't far off when I said maybe they meant May 2011 before
Oh well, hopefully the Euro will have recovered a bit by then and it will make a great Xmas present!!

sometimes waiting is better than getting ... whats the saying - something bout - the journey not the destination
except this has been a long trip
"Are we there yet ?"

All I can say is that this release better have ZERO QC issues. The longer this is postponed, the more nervous I get.....this tells me that the "issues" have not been resolved, or resolved to Fewture's liking. That's the worry. Worst case scenario: they CANCEL the Shin Getter 1. That would suck. Or join the Blasters in the limbo file.
