I would “ guess” it shouldn’t be much more then Astroganger.
I HAVE TO get one to support the only “legit” South Korean figure maker.

i will support any good company with good after sale services In regards to that, I have to be real here. Don't get me wrong, 5Pro is an excellent company an A class that produces some stunning figures. But as far as I know, like many companies, After service will ONLY be provided by local distributors. Typhoon mentioned that few occasions at the Korean blog cafe to Korean bros who bought their 5Pro goods from Japanese vendors wanting AS from Korean distributors.. So if you buy from over sea, I think you are SOL. If you want complete peace of mind on your purchase, please buy from your local vendors. US bros should be able to find it from BBTS. In Japan, pretty sure Amiami, AE, HLJ, CDJ should all carry it...Maybe Anazon. JP too. If you can only order from Japan, please consider HLJ and probably Amazon Japan as I heard they both have pretty lenient return policy.

sadly we dont have "local vendors" in my country bro, all we have is thieves on instagram that will sell you the $140 (shipped) figure, for $265, will NEVER SUPPORT THEM
so i stuck with Asians stores, they are kinda near so less shipping not to mention cheaper prices but most of them dont have any kinda of after sale support
it became a huge gamble man specially with the newest Bandai trend, QCs and extra oil lol

Thanks for posting this.
Again, Typhoon Kim specifically said it WILL be on preo in this month, so hopefully its any day now.
Also read in Korean blog the photo is not CG but an actual product...cool. The bloger is asking why isn't "Carbon" listed on the material list....hmmm I wonder that myself too..it IS Carbotix line after all..it seems Korean bros are also concern about pricing as big as this figure is... They are scared of Sentinel like pricing.
We should know everything in couple of weeks I hope.

www.taghobby.com/archives/342130Whew....this is going to put a large dent on my wallet. It’s def looks great and at around 9inches, it’s going to be a imposing figure. Around $300 ( yowch!!!) shipped.....gotta love Getter fans. ETA around June July. Pretty sure it’s a world wide release. I’ll be sure to post my thought when I gett him. Teehee. (Oh and Langrisser the game is just as expected ... Stunning updated HD 2D graphics, the only downside is mandatory FaceBook login WTF is that all about. you can still log In as a guest but your saves will be wiped if you reinstall the game for some reason.)

$300 !
this is about $150 MORE than Carbotix 1
lets see the figure looks good, nice paint, cool LEDs, on the other hand the legs are not very articulated (same as Astroganger) and its way over priced since there is ton of alternative in the market
the price should be between $150 - $200 no more than this
Astroganger is a rare character and the 5 pro version is the ONLY one that worth getting, not going to bother with HL Pro version but with Getter 1 its not the case, you have alot of Getter 1 in the market with a lower price tag, so the options are not limited
pass for me

Damn, at this rate, I can only afford one figure from each company...
Bandai= MB, Great Mazinger infinity
5 Pro= Carbotox 2, Getter 1
Sentinel= ?

Few news bits I found out from 5Pro Naver Cafe... 1. 5Pro won’t be participating TRU Korea Gokin series going forward... 2. 5Pro will consider Getter 2 AND 3 ( Carbotix I assume) depending on the sales of this Getter 1...so all of us Getter fans who always wanted Getter 2 and 3, this is our call....(Just saying) 3. Also Typhoon says he hasn’t,t given up on Tetsujin(?) www.gokin.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=214&t=75664. ( Shin Getter 1 is still in development.) Carbotix Black Getter preorder is coming up shortly.

I really hope 5PRO can pull off the Tetsujin 28. I've been waiting for a die-cast with good articulation.
