if the reviews are good ill get one.
i love my gin gin. besides its shield coming off too easily and having the hlpro look, gin gin is a reall solid gokin. i wish hlpro would consult their packaging cover artist for their figs he has real good eyes for color and proportion.

Gin Gin is a good figure. Not an amazing figure, but a good figure. But, the best thing is that it is a figure of an enemy robot. Other than Gundam's and maybe Macross enemies, how many enemy robot figures are there? No that many. HLPro gave us Giru Giru, which looks good but sucks as an action figure, and Gin Gin. Evolution Toy gave us Kingdan X10 and Abdullah U6 in their Dynamite Action line (although limited editions). Aoshima gave us Ankoku Daishogun. Bandai gave us SOC Garada K7, Doublas M2, Minerva X, Black Ox, new Black Ox, King Joe(?), GX-47 Energer Z, and some in the SRC line like, Anti-Gurren, Repli GaoGaiGar, and Black MightGaine. Still quite a few enemy robots that gave never seen the light of day.

The regular anime color version will be the one distributed in toy shops, right? Cause that's the one I want.
Well, I'd settle even for this "silver" one shown here. The only one I don't like is the chromed one.

At the end of the day, a good toy is a good toy, regardless of delays. It's the company you need to be critical of. I would suggest nobody pre-order from them again, which I don't think is a hard thing to commit to. Exactly! what Im saying is its been SO LONG with a dose of sarcasm it SHOULD BE GREAT right??? IWhen i give my opinion its gonna be solely the things I dont like about the toy, its sucha simple toy,what could really be awesome about it other than it functions.There is no Gattai to speak of or transformation,its just a metal figure that fits in a ship,its serviceable and is what it is. When we critique figures we review articulation,transformation,metal content,size and paint.Usually HLPro has pretty good paint,Id say that is a strong point of theirs,articulation?ummm,if it bends in the right places?,,size?below average,transformation?it splits in half to fit in ship,so if it does those things satisfactorily,its a good toy,it just doesnt have potential for a great toy. Its just a decent representation of what it is.All HLPro figures so far are really just action figures,they dont transform,there is not much to review really,unless its something wrong with it,like floppyness or bad connections{Gin Gin saws}Its like reviewing a 4 inch star wars figure,it is what it is,does it look nice or not is about the extent of it. I just hope it all works ok,I really need this figure to help complete my collection,if its decent im happy,I dont expect anything more,what could there really be other than what we see?thats why Im saying you cant really review anything but whats bad about it,there is no awesoem surprises in store ya know?What would a good review be?It looks as good as teh photos in hand,it fits in the ship,and it can bend its legs and arms,it has metal,and the paint is nice,,that about covers it.

I think the big takeaway here is never ever prepay for pre orders. It's a foul and problematic business model.

Looks ready to me. I'll be optimistic and say that Gattaiger is gonna be out in a relatively short time.

I don't have the info.. soon that's all I can say.
Gatt went through several delays for different reasons. New Packaging was just one of them... bigger orders than expected was another... it sold out several times. Japan drank the well dry..

Used to know this guy named GetterShadow who changed his name to GONE then HERE etc etc,and now back to GetterShadow its all very confusing and unsettling.
Not pointing fingers but people that have strange agendas and like to give information thats constantly contradicting the source and vice versa,and who like to bounce back and forth here make me nervous.
SO I just decided to change his name to "This post is hidden" makes me feel alot better,and its perfectly legal with the forums rules as they allow me to do that. :)thank god.
This way I dont get upset or bad information,and egos of certain companies and people dont get in the way of my collecting.There I feel all grown up now.
