I wonder if an es mazinkaiser is inevitable since they have the mold for mazinger and great mazinger... Hope so  |

Not bad... that's roughly $37.37 USD at the current rate (subject to change based on daily exchange rates). And right now the JPY rate is at about level or close to the USD zozo-mag |

I totally agree with you, Baron. I truly hate SD Super Robots! Can't stand them at all!!! However, I'm gonna make an exception for these two - and maybe a Mazinkaiser if they do make it. But I did not get any of the others, like the Getters, Gaiking, or the similar Grendizer. The exception is for "Mazingers" only! }D |

Given how poorly the es reideen was done, I officially will boycott this line. The es getters were incredible them there was a steady decline in quality. I think someone at artstorm is trying to cut costs and it's annoying.
If these guys do not have light up heads that will be a huge insult...

Yeah, I'm pretty miffed about lack of lit eyes also.
Like I wouldn't pay that extra $5....
But otherwise, I thought Reideen was pretty good.
Erik, Besides the eyes, what else didn't you like about ES Reideen?

Erik, Besides the eyes, what else didn't you like about ES Reideen? I think it was you that pointed out the crappy hip armor sockets - wow they are TERRIBLE!! More importantly there no logical reason for a half-circle ball joint? It's just so frustrating. Also I am annoyed by the lack of light up eyes. Everything else was pretty good tho |

I'm exaggerating - I'm not 100% going to not get these, but I am sure as heLL NOT going to preorder. Anyone who preorders these es gokin is making a big mistake. These do not sell out and they do not jump in price fast. Best to wait, check out a chachipower review, THEN buy it if the review is positive or to your satisfaction. |

Looks like Metalboy cranked out a MAZINKAISER SKL kit... www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=TOY-RBT-2296 I don't know if this is a play on the ES Gokin Mazingers or what. Price....... 12,980 JPY = 131.82 U.S. dollars mmmmmmmmmmmmm NOPE. For that kind of money I'd rather get the SRC Mazinkaiser and an SRC Mazinger-Z, or both of the ES Gokin Mazingers.  zozo-mag |

Yea I heard about that a while ago. Too bad its a resin kit and not a gokin. But maybe it's an indication of future metalboy gokin since the mold is already done

Erik, Besides the eyes, what else didn't you like about ES Reideen? Interesting...just a counterpoint, and maybe I'm in the minority, but, I prefer my gokin toys to be battery-free/no electronics. |
