Hi everyone, a bit late to the party on this one, but here is my review for the Sentinel Riobot Kizin Genesic Gaogaigar. Please click on the image to jump to the full review: Beautifully detailed, amazingly gorgeous, but alas, very, very pricey and very incomplete in terms of accessories. The weak LEDs were also a huge let down for me. Gold Nice one. Yeah, forget about the display stand, and only use it for mid-air poses for photos. I thought I had to rely on it for a permanant secure display. But GGGG's footprint is so huge, there is no worries of it losing balance standing. And I find that as long as you spread the legs a bit wider (which you have in some photos), you can get the 'feet' to land on the grey 'knuckles', with the gold talon tips barely lifted off the ground, preventing the tips from having contact and rubbing/chipping. Of course, placing a cheap felt mat from any craft stores can help too (those felt sheets that kids cut up to make craft projects). Pick a black one or red one to match, cost less than a dollar. Another thing to watch out for is the orange mane when you turn his head. The back of the black helmet rubs the mane. Force it a few times and paint on the mane will get scraped. I found out the hard way... This is a really beautiful figure. Probably the best looking GGGG gokin on the market bar-none. But you have to live with the high price, iffy LED, smaller size, some brittle parts, and the incomplete accessories (unless you buy the option set, which I did). Not my TOTY, but a very memorable purchase, because it just looks so darn good.

Thanks for the headsup. Agreed, it's a beautiful figure, but there's lots of room for improvements. Hehe, I wonder if CCS Toys will ever take a crack at this? Their Shin Getter looks incredible. Gold

Anyone else still waiting for Bluefin to ship the option set? I am. They shipped my GGGG like a year after every other shop had it. It will happen eventually lol.

Hi guys, late to the party as usual, but here's my review for the Option Parts set for Genesic Gaogaigar. Please click on the image to proceed to the review page. Crazy impressive, but also crazy expensive. I love the whole set together, it's just amazing, but the price is really bananas. I sincerely hope that this pricing will not be the new norm for this hobby in the months to come (but I have a sinking feeling it probably will be). Gold

Haha, the pricing is already the new norm. Look at POSE+'s GGG option set.

I absolutely love this set, but I really wish they had made wing effect parts smaller and lighter. Honestly in 2022, this kind of mistake is just...pathetic and shameful; especially for the price.

Yet another great sale I cannot take advantage of, since I already have one. $400 GX-100, $190 MB Hi-Nu, now this. Oh well...

Though sold out pretty fast that morning they posted their sale a day or two ago. They might still have some good sale left in their Black Friday section.

I've been picking up a few pieces for pretty good price. The threezero getter metallic version I picked up recently for less than $100...
