Not too often but sometimes they fix failures (and sometimes they create new ones). Also, a few year ago I decided to stop chasing new figures of characters I already have and I'm happy with. (The only SOC I would probably replace is my gx04s if they ever release a gx76 complete set, my problem with gx04 is that is a too short compared to gx01 and gx02, grendizer should be taller)

Wasn't really planning on picking this up, but I like the black on the SP a lot better than the dark blue on the original. How is the Fire Blaster pins!?

Any word if Bandai will give us this figure without the GX-75 Fire Blaster breakable pins QC issue? I don't think that was really a QC problem. Everyone who had that issue got theirs from Hong Kong based sellers while those who did not got theirs direct from Japan, and I don't think that was a coincidence.

I just received this figure and it’s absolute garbage. The gold looks extremely cheap, the black is not black at all but a dark chrome which makes no sense on this figure and at a simple glance, the gold chest piece is crocked and can’t be fixed. Notice how it points lower to the right on the pic and way higher on the left. I didn’t even bother to unbox the rest. My advice, if you where on the fence about buying this… don’t Attachments:

Well the color it is what it is, it is what they showed and part of the anniversary edition. the black one was the OG release. The piece of the chest can be removed so check that before (as far as I remember).

That’s how I broke mine but was able to buy the part on shapeways and glue it back using the original fire plate. It’s Not the same as factory but it won’t fall it’s just permanent fix. That my only grip with this figure those tiny little puny pins are a joke for the fire plates 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

The center piece can be removed.

Hi gang, finally got to open this one and do a review. Please click on the image to jump to the full review gallery. Not too bad but I think the chrome could've been done better. The odd silvery chrome under natural light just throws you off sometimes. Still, if you haven't gotten an SOC Mazinkaiser yet, this one's a pretty decent reissue of the previous one. Gold
