I've always wanted a true combining ChoRyuJin. I'm very curious how they pulled it off- unless it has part swapping like the Minipla, which would be a bit disappointing but not a deal breaker.

I've always wanted a true combining ChoRyuJin. I'm very curious how they pulled it off- unless it has part swapping like the Minipla, which would be a bit disappointing but not a deal breaker. ChoRyuJin looking good. Shoulders a bit big and the arms seem a tad short. But knowing the limitations, I am going to let that slide. Have the same concern whether there is part swap involved, hopefully not. Hope POSE+ can pull it off without it. My eyes are on this one, and not gonna double dip on getting a SOC, even if Bandai is making one (I think they are, but can't remember if there was prototype, or if I am just imagining things). Would have preferred a POSE+ GFG over the SOC. But who knows how many years we'll have to wait for that to happen, and I am getting old enough to be aware that I am not going to be around forever LOL. Only need one ChoRyuJin, and this one would be it. I am also considering Repli-Gaigar. Gaigar was very nicely designed, but it can be a hassle taking GGG apart to get to it. Repli-Gaigar is a nice excuse to have an extra around. 30000yen at current exchange rate is not too bad. Have to think about this.

Ok, managed to watch the key parts of the video, and I have some bad news to report, for those don't understand Cantonese. This white Repli-Gaigar be available on POSE+ new webstore for preorder, and will be available roughly around December. HOWEVER, it will not be available at other shops or channels, and from my quick look at POSE+ webstore, they are selling to HK locals and not selling/shipping overseas. Hopefully that will change later and they will take overseas orders. Otherwise, most of us will not be able to get this other than from ebay with high markups. Sigh... If that is the case, I most likely will skip this altogether. Too bad. poseplus.net/products/pose-metal-series-repli-gaigarlimited-edition-%E3%83%AC%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AC%E3%83%BClimited-edition

Keep an eye on this Artstorm Webstore (Fewture Shop) listing the next few days. Goshogun and Repli-Gaigar may appear as preorder. Will need a proxy service though. fewtureshop.com/artstorm.co.jp/

Looks like POSE+ finally saying something about the KO GGG, also a good reminder for us that POSE+'s mother company is called Awaken Studio. Remember seeing that name on the boxes and promos. While Artstorm is likely just their distribution partner on the Japan side.

I'm surprised they didn't take action sooner. I wonder if Showz will stop selling it now, as to avoid losing direct purchases.

Found out another tidbit about POSE+ through ToysTV's live coverage interview at POSE+ booth. Fred was the POSE+ staff in the interview, talking about various new products in the displays, and he is the guy on the right in the recent POSE+ official preview video (wears glasses, wavy hair). Interestingly, Fred has been referring Ah Lu (the POSE+ main designer we know) as "老板". And in Cantonese, 老板 means "the boss". But not just in the sense that he is a higher up or a manager above Fred. Ah Lu is quite possibly THE boss of POSE+/Awaken Studio calling the shots on all their releases, as well as the main toy designer/engineer. Now it kind of make sense that he has been the POSE+ spokeperson the past number of years in any official videos, interviews or appearance in ToysTV, until very recently with Fred joining in to share the load on public appearance.

Man, this is a really good review, in terms of showcasing how cool and useful the Option Set is, as well as adding some cool photos and nice usage of clips and music. Very nice!

i guess we could say this is the ULTIMATE Gaogaigar set Pretty much. With everything included, it cost more than a DX SOC, hitting Metal Structure Nu Gundam retail price level. But it is a pretty darn impressive set indeed.

Goldymarg looks incredible and makes me happy I sold the SOC years ago. Plenty of articulation and cool gimmicks on this guy to boot. Now to patiently wait for that big payment request it come in for this set.

I got mine a little bit ago but I finally got it all set up. It's very nice. A few comments overall on the set. I like the design, it's kinda like they mixed the animation design and the design of Genesic GGG. The overall engineering is interesting and pretty solid. They do make a lot of concessions on the combination engineering to make it work, it's not very true to the design, but it hardly bothers me. The end result is good. There is also some nice gimmicks and effect parts for this, such as the way the Phantom and Protect Rings connect to the fists, and how the Drivers connect. You can tell the people who designed this were thoughtful on the designs and were trying to plus it all up some. I also think the lighting effects are pretty nice. The way the LED sits in the UI-Tech Engine in Stealth Gao where the G-Stone would be is a nice touch. Is it better then the SOC? No I don't think so. It it worse? Also no, it's just different. The SOC is true to the source, this is not. I like them both.
