First impression.
The large box is shockingly heavy...as heavy as the DX Chgokin Macross vf 27b figure box that i also got with this figure. I know it sounds unbelievable but true. The figure itself weighs a ton!! The torso, lower legs and feet are nice thick heavy metal! Due to the large flat solid metal feet, its Extremely stable. Beautiful clear parts with metal foil under. 2 pairs of bat Wings and the gun is heavy quality ABS. Nice clicky on knees. Hidden joints on hips and shoulders for allow more extreme pose.s The turning pupil gimick via "gear wheel" is inside the head. Easy accesse battery and switch compartment via cover on the back of the head with a push button. I havent tested the lighting gimick so i cant say anything about that.
Green points No styro, no toxic smell with minimal PVC parts so it gets 5 stars!
Cons.... the paint app is not "laser perfect" as Bandai. there are couple of tiniest smallest paint over here and there where clear parts meet...
If youre on the fence or if you are a getter fan, please get him! I have my inclination that Action Toy is competing with "an Amazing and the now venerable" Arcadia's AA series Getter 1s.. Competion at its finest. Arguably, This is by far the best ES figure! No QC on mine. It and AA Getter 1 make the Yamato SD gokin Getter Dragon look absolutely primitive...
Btw, im having hell of a time uploading pics...i been playing with Amazon Photos and Google photos and niether will upload. I will put up a survey tommorow to check out what others are using. Maybe i finally need to go with Photo bucket or Flikr.. But they seem too intrusive...

Hey philo. I want to Limit what photos program has an access to.
But for instance, Picaso by Google took over my entire photo library including all the video and all the docs.... I didnt like that at all. Although RJ site liked Picaso by uploading oics without any problem, i immediately uninstall it. Although Google and Amazon seem to do what i want, RJ doesnt like them. lol I tried everything, but couldnt attatched the photo...it would just show up as t tiny line drawn square the size of type size or just as a link to the site....
i forget if the Flikr or Photo Bucket was very controlling or not..

Good to know that this figure is up to par. I actually have the AA Gokins and was wondering how this one would compare since i loved the feel of the AAs. Can't wait to get mine in! Been on the way for a week now, the struggle of living in a rural place...

Update: Aside from hands, everything including effect parts, weapons seem to be quality hard ABS. Nice! They spared no expense. The two pairs of bat wings look awesome installed. Ankles also have silky pull out joints for extended poses...very nice.

That looks nice!!! How tall is it? 9 or 10 inches? More like 6 inches. ES Gokins aren't particularly huge.

I'm hoping for a Sentinel release at this point with the Armageddon Getters and Mazinkaiser coming

Sentinel would make a great Shin Getter but it would be $$$$$
