Well'p... my night has been spent f**king with this thing but got it disassembled and replaced the LED itself, wires, and resoldered everything and it's up and running now. A bit tired to really mess with it after all of that but looking forward to giving it an honest go soon.  Man, good for you, looks wise this thing looks quite striking fewture type... looking forward to your review. Honestly for me it will be a yeah or nay after I watch your video review, normally I go with your reviews as they help me and sure others to see what we are getting into. I don’t have any jeeg figure but this one really looks good to me. |

I don’t have any jeeg figure but this one really looks good to me. I really appreciate that but for the sake of honesty I'll say even in advance that with the q.c. on this one I wouldn't recommend it. I even had to disassemble one of the mach drills late last night because something on the inside randomly that held up the button switch for the electronics and it sunk inside. So I had to rig up something to hold it in place, glue it all together, reassemble it... it's just a mess. Even on an asian review I watched he was having problem with the main body battery compartment and had to figure out a way to rig the battery in so it'd get a proper connection... these just aren't done well particularly in the electronics area. It's 3rd party/KO level quality in that regards and it's not acceptable. If you've got some electronics parts and a solder iron and like to gamble though I guess why not. PErsonally even being "handy" with this stuff I wouldn't have gotten it knowing the amount of work that would need to be personally done on it. That being said I will still review it in full and try to be as objective as possible. --------------------------------  |

Those ARE THE best pics of this piece...
Always Appreciate the objective feed back and reviews.
Im SURE it will help many bros here. I can only guess Jeeg might be the hardest subject in gokin toys....so far none comes close to CMs..

CM's engineering is just enough to keep the toy stable enough, but holds true to the nature of Jeeg's all magnetic joint connections (which is why it got praised for). With this Jeeg not fully magnetic, it should have the advantage of being bigger, sturdier, with more gimmicks, and more edgy. ToysTV video review is positive, even though the figure appears fiddly on camera, but mainly is due to the live filming and big weapons. The commenter actually said the joints are very tight (in some case too tight) and can support the big weapons very well, given the proper time to pose.

Thanks KumaStyle. And yeah hard pass. At least at the current price. I love the size of it. The stylized look I can take or leave, and mostly leave the chestplate. But the problems you have experienced. Not for something well north of $300-400+ usd. $500 with shipping. Also, am I the only one annoyed that the Mack Drills both spin in the same direction?

In speaking to the company regarding replacement parts I asked about pantheroid since it says January on listings and was told that it is delayed until June/July.

So I got this guy. It is a nice piece but I don't like the head articulation Kuma's reviews are spot on towards this review. I do like the design though.  |
