Mine came single taped.
But if I were you I would not worry about the double tape. Sometimes factories do open boxes to address quality issues that were not caught on the first runs and them re-seal them.
From time to time, I get brand new items that I had on pre-order from online stores like AmiAmi, which the box came double taped.

my 2 main fighters in the game were G.kaiser and Blodia II, my second mains would be the Twinzam V( the Getter/ Voltes V/ Combattler V homage) and Pulsion (the Ultraman/eva homage). true the boss was such a bull*****, but once you you got him in the F. atk and the theme music ending exactly as the F.atk ends it makes it much more better. I really hope someday they bring this game to the 360 and PS3 with online capabilities, i still hold my original copy of it on the dreamcast. Oh.. Tech Romancer, how I wish someone would port the damn thing to the PS3. I loved that arcade game, used to drop by the arcades after school just to try and finish all the characters. And hell yes that final boss was annoying. ;D Gold |

If you got it from a third party seller, they most likely opened the box to make sure everything was fine, nothing broken and nothing missing.  }D thanks guys, finally get to open the box and take the little mazinger out, everything looks great (except maybe the hover pilder and belt is a little loose fitting for mine) and the colours turned out better than what i expected it to be  very happy with the purchase |

Oh well... just like Revoltech, annother good figure line starting to circle the drain. Maybe the time has come to call it quits on trying to collect true Super Robot figures. Guess my only hope now is CM's...  }[ |

I don't mind the odd "real mech" in the line but I do want the line to stay in the classic SR them, new or old. The Sentai stuff is okay but honestly what you call a true "super robot" is pretty rare today when it comes to anime which in turn is reflected in merchandise like the SRC line. Still I'm willing to give it a shot since a good toy is a good toy no matter what it's based on but I do want to see classic robots like Grendizer and the Getters made as SRC's above most other designs, I would kill for a SRC Dangaio and my head would explode if we got a SOC version.

Bandai is smoking something.This Armored Corps stuff truly an ugly diversion from left field,absolutely nothing to do with Superobots,but then again,this line has NEVER been truly about Superrobots except for in the very beginning. |

Yeap. The Armored Core stuff might be nicely done, heavily detailed, and smartly engineered, but to me personally it... sucks! If it was included in any other line, like "its own", I wouldn't mind as much. But those releases take away from the true Super Robot releases (old or new is fine, as long as they are true Super Robots). There are so many Super Robots to be made, and this AC junk is taking their spots in the "SUPER ROBOT" Chogokin line. So, no more money from this guy for you Bandai. No more collecting every single figure from a particular line Bandai. I will make my point with my wallet, as the wise saying goes... }D |

perhaps a SOC version(soul spec) of it would be been more appropriate?

i think you guys are missing the point, Bandai is just making the Armored Core V figures because of the game is out and is the hype at the moment in Japan so this is more for there local customers than than us the outsiders.
Also the term Super Robot doesn't mean a specific type of mechas but more on the entirely of every type there is so there is nothing wrong adding this mecha to this line, it gives more variety to it.
they look pretty cool but if there is a negative thing to this ACV figures is that there body parts are not interchangeable and that is the core about the series, to make your own AC unit.
I understand that this figure are taking place for other more deserving super robots like the getters, Grendizer, Dancougar, ect. but here lies the problem, Bandai back tracks again of making classic robots but not newer ones. If you think about it, they only newer mecha dones in this line was Dai-guard and Kokubogar but the rest has been done in some other form in another line.

I always thought that there were Super Robots (the robot is the hero of the show), Real Robots (The pilot is the hero of the show), and Mechas (not so powerful, mostly disposable machines).

Noone can argue that!and that is it in a NUTSHELL!! When you look at a superobot it should look well...SUPER,and be the star of the show,or when the show contains Super Robots from other shows of their own, such as Mazinkaiser,Great Mazinger,Getters appearing in the same show. etc.!! not like a bunch of stuck together dull grey steel also.And I doubt these releases are stars of the show.Not when there are fifty of them. And the POINT IS Bandai should have another line for these,or an offshoot line.Too many robots are being called super robots. |

I think the term "Super-robots" has been loosely ass-signed to anything
that resembles some kind of armor-clad juggernaught these days.
And, when ya get a bunch of juggernaughts in a lot and call them
"super-robots" it's really a brandname clusterf**k of sorts.
I've always believed the term "Super-robots" should be reserved for
the classic '60s thru early '80s*** Japanese anime tv show robots
which have set the standard for that particular genre.
***I'm including early '80s robots such as Golion (Voltron).
But then, that aspect is just my own definition of the Super-robot era.
Because the "Mecha" era was being introduced at around that
time period with shows such as Robotech and Macross, for example.

The REAL Super Robots started in color with Mazinger(1972) and ended with Bismarck(1984).It can be argued Tetsujin-28(1963) and Astroganger(1972) who predated Mazinger by a week, were the first,but the first robot to be called a Superobot in a tv anime was Mazinger in 1972.These SupeRobots brought with them the bright blues yellows and reds we come acustomed too with seeing on these icons.
Dancougar(1985) and Gundam style lookalikes along with Evangelion etc. spelled the ending for the classic style superrobots,although new animes brought back the older SRs and improved them.Mazinkaiser Shin Getter Robo etc.,still retain the classic style without delving into the realm of complicated looking bland grey and black robots of modern day attempts.

With out the hot blooded pilot/pilots a super robot is nothing than a soulless machine. So the pilot/pilots are just as important as the Robo. |

We've still got plenty of diverse robots coming to this line. Just because a few Armored Core figures are being released doesn't mean we won't be seeing plenty of "traditional" Super Robots. I'm pretty sure Might Gaine (next release) will fit in just fine with any Super Robot crowd :-)

Sorry, but the Super Robot shows are about the Super Robot. The pilot is second to the robot in the show. The Super Robot is the one doing 99.9% of the fighting, is the one getting the upgrades, is the one the enemy wants to do away with - not the pilot. Without Mazinger Z Koji Kabuto would just be a punk. Without the Grendizer Duke Fleed would be dead. Without the Getter Robot Ryoma, Hayato, and Musashii & Benkei would be comic relief. Get it? You want anime where the pilot is way more important than his robot, watch Gundam...  }D |

And the POINT IS Bandai should have another line for these,or an offshoot line.Too many robots are being called super robots. The term Super Robot while indeed it originated from Mazinger Z, it evolved over time thanks to other anime creators outside mazinger Z trying to call there own creations as Super Robots, as well you have the Super Robot Wars games that takes the title even further which incorporate them to Gundams and other stuff that are not so giant robot aspect(battlesuits) like Tekkaman Blade for example. the term "real robot" originated inside the SRW fandom community on a debate whether Gundams should actually be considered as Super Robot or not because of there perspective style so 2 terms where created by the fans: - Super Robot: Giant machines (mechas), created with a strong alloy material able to take more hits than a real robot. they are capable of showing immeasurable power and devastating force and as well able to control the element at will. some are able to combine or transform into one giant robot. there also occasions that some demonstrate organic elements as well been sentient beings. rarely there Super Robots able to show high mobility like a Real Robot but most of the time they do not posses it. the theme of this Super Robots centralize more of evil scientist, aliens or forgotten empire trying to conquer, invade or destroy the earth or the Universe. - Real Robots: Giant Machines (mechas), with more of a standard scenario in a realistic aspect and more centralizing in themes of war in the future whether against humans or an alien race. this are little to not able to control the elements but are able to show devastating weapons as well high mobility in combat than a Super Robot, however they do not posses a strong alloy in comparison to them. there are also able to transform into giant robots and rare occasions combine to form one. It is rarely to non that real robots are organic or sentient beings. however in the end of everything, they are still for the most parts all considered as Super Robots and the real robots term is not even considered much except by few that wants to make it official. there has been 2 games with the "real robot" term as a title, Real Robot Regiment 1 and 2 but they still incorporate Super Robots in the game so the title was kinda pointless and it should just have been called Super Robot Wars Regiment instead. but indeed the official Super Robot term incorporate every Mecha created to this day either anime or game, they are all Giant Robots that show great level of strength speed or power. but if we were to take it more technical, then Mazinger Z is the only true Super Robot because that is its title or GoNagai's title, anyone outside of that are not real Super Robots but Giant Robots trying to imitate and use the title of Super Robot for there own. also i think that the Pilots are just as important as the Super Robots, without them we can't actually have that connection to the Super Robot that makes it special. like Juzo leaving Mazinger Z to koji to fight Dr. Hell and the responsibility that Koji has to use Mazinger Z for good and not for evil and the dangers it brings if it were to fall in the wrong hands. |

Okay folks. Don't know about everyone else, but when I used to watch the anime, I didn't do it to see Koji, I did it to see Mazinger. As a matter of fact, that was the reason why the Shin Mazinger anime flopped - it barely had any Mazinger action in it! Anyway, to each person its own - we all like what we like. }D |
