This will probably cost a minimum of $100. I've already paid a DX price for this guy, and now I get to buy extras?! Love this hobby. Always a surprise.... For sure. At least Will Knife should have came with the figure.

As cool as GGGG's update is, this is what caught my attention the most coming up next in this toyline... Finally, a chogokin King J-Der. Something that I've waited for almost 2 decades.

I just got my payment request for this guy. I have somehow convinced myself that I don't need GGGG to transform because I honestly would probably not display it the seperate modes.

Don't mind GGGG doesn't transform/combine, since I have a couple that does. Just want a good looking solid figure with good articulation out of this. Sentinel stuff usually doesn't sold out early, so it may not mean the sales on GGGG is low.

Sentinel stuff usually doesn't sold out early, so it may not mean the sales on GGGG is low. For this release allotment was supposed to be based on preorders only but they seem to still have plenty of extras. The high price and lack of accessories probably hurt it. Reviews are coming, starting with Wotofa. Can anyone provide a breakdown of his review?

Wow, GGGG looks like it has really good joint tolerance. Wotafa needs to use some force to move every single joint without any signs of loose bits. The only parts that moves a little easier are the front toe claws. Even the fingers are very stiff. Very nice.
Now I wish it was a couple cm taller so it matches SOC or POSE+ GGG better. At 24cm tall, it is standing a head shorter. Other than that, looks like the figure delivers what it sets out to.

Yeah be nice to see this side by side with SoC GGG. Though that wing span makes me think twice buying this.

The more I look at Sentinel's stuff the more I think it's not worth what they're charging for. Kind of. Though that's how Sentinel stuff roll. You are overpaying more for the design and engineering. Haven't really heard or bought Sentinel releases because of it being cheap or getting your dollars' worth. Riobot, Flame Toys, 1/6...etc. all shares the same issue...high price tag. But they are very darn cool though, have to give them that. From the look of this GGGG, it feels like a Flame Toys TF kind of execution and quality, but with a GGGG shell instead of a TF...plus a tad bit bigger.

From the look of this GGGG, it feels like a Flame Toys TF kind of execution and quality, but with a GGGG shell instead of a TF...plus a tad bit bigger. Let's talk about those early Dancouga releases with their fragile shoulders and non-existent forward arm movement of the Gravion. Lol! That's poor design and engineering there for that much price. The KO Dancouga has better quality IMO. I sold off my Sol Gravion without opening it just for the fact that the forward arm movement is still non-existent and that it can't combine for Ultimate Gravion most especially. Can't comment on their Flame Toys TF. Can't bring myself to try one because it's like buying Macross VF's that can't transform. It sucks it can't transform but that's more on Hasbro's fault since they don't allow transforming TF's outside of their own production. I do wonder though how long this high pricing trend will last. If it came to a point where majority of collectors can't afford at these price points, I feel Sentinel and Pose+ might bite the dust. Bandai can weather it because they're a bigger company with other lines that are affordable.

Sentinel have to be careful though lest they become the new CM Corp. They still have hits but a good number of their stuff fails to hit the mark and go on sale, only becoming high value years later when they don't benefit. But yeah with stuff regularly reaching $400, I can see $500 being the new norm a few years from now, meaning that further people will be priced out of this hobby and shrinking the already small robot fanbase even further.

This GGGG while beautiful, at $500 and it needed an upgrade set to complete it, just feels scummy. The enjoyment factor becomes less and less for me as prices just keep going up and the quality doesn't quite match the price.2 I'm glad threezero realized that there are plenty more people they can reach out there with their more affordable yet excellent Robot-dou and Transformers DLX line.
