Hey guys, Just got my "damaged packaging". Getter Dragon Normal Color from Amazon.... First, the box was opened the trays were opened, this is not "an unopened damaged box but new" as Amazon implied. Second, its a Chrome version in the box not a Normal silver color i thought i was getting. Finally, There IS "a minor cosmetic imperfection on the product" which Amazon didnt divulge....namely the chrome on one of the thigh is chipped... This is all cons towards Amazon product description... Therere also typical ET cons. The stuck parts due to rushed production and The thigh extension joint pegs slideing out too easily like most of their releases. And unique con to this release, The shoulder winglets peg fall out if i try to pose. Also, keep in mind that ships combine with Getters individual body parts....means you cant have robot AND ships displayed all togather which the impression i had all along... The folded arms acc looks stupid but i knew that going in....but still. He looks odd wielding his axes..i also knew that before my purchase so.. Finally, this is my second chrome fig from ET and the chrome just doesnt look good. Their silver paint looks fantastic, but chrome is def a let down. I know thats LOT of dislikes, BUT for around $90 i paid i just don't know if i should return this. Other joints are nice and tight and it IS a beautifully sculpted magnet figure. He looks especially great in his neautral poses it IS Getter Dragon, my avatar character, so a mixed review. I give it 7.5 out of 10 at $90 price tag. Definitely definitely do NOT buy at over $100

Well, Dragon's middle horn on the headcrest broke last night. ET is using white base ABS thats brittle. It fell from the top of 5 inch tall jar that placed on a dining table....yes i said "5 freaking inch"...
Its a far FAR cry from "10 cents a piece" awesomely indestructable Lego ABS... WTH, how cheap of a plastic ET using? Where are all the money they are charging going? It CERTAINLY isnt in a quality plastic..

Hey GGG is how is that Dai Guard I see in the picture? Is it any good? I don't own any Evolution toys so I'm curious.
Is anyone getting the Evolution Jeeg that's going to be released this month?

Hey Big.
Yeah, He is pretty good At less then $100. I have a full detailed review on page 115 on this thread, but the biggest issue i have with Dai Guard is the shoulder extention joints slide out too easily.
And yes, i am getting the Metal S Jeeg.

Hey thanks GGG.
That thing is $170 at HLJ. I guess I won't be getting that one. LOL!
I read your review too. It was very helpful.

well DaiApolon & Mechander Robo are a dream come true for some, while this Jeeg looks way better than Bandai SRC The proportions are much nicer than the SRC but its about 35cm tall I think so it's one for those with plenty of display space. The arms on the SRC seems a little short and the thighs and hips are a bit awkward in my opinion. I'm glad I got mine for a good price.

yes the arms are the biggest turn off for me, Bandai didn't bring their A game with it

I'm so BLOODY hyped about the Daiapolon! Guys, we knew it, we kept telling ourselves that ET would bring us a Daiapolon, that they were the ones who would do it. We waited, for so many months.. And it's going to happen Oh, Mekanda is nice too. *sniff*
