Look good and retro. Extending elbow and knee joints might be a bit old school (Aoshima days, just look nicer). Nice to see at least a bit of diecast is used too. But sad that pretty basic figures like this have now passed the US$100 mark as the norm of current market.

Just got mine last night and I'm pretty disappointed. Its really floppy compared to the Mafex Astroboy, very lightweight, and the articulation is quite odd. The left arm popped out in minutes and after some nervous attempts with the thin ball joint I was able to get it reattached. Hand options and head sculpt are nice though.

[greengetterguy]

That’s too bad.
I was really looking forward to this.
The sculpt looks fantastic. Definitely a display piece.

Thank you for the heads up Bluetengu

20 cm or about 8in. Very interesting. Wish it was a tad bigger, but this is the trend... smaller.

Jello Bris!

I FINALLY put up a YT review video on this guy. Only it's a B&W version.

Before the link, I want give "a bonus content" for our RJ bros here hahaha

Pros:
1.at around 120 from BBTS it's a fair buy.
2.Again, Proportion is idealic for this character IMHO.
3.Thick, solid diecast feet guys!
4.no strange oil residue, no foam coffin, The package is perfectly sized.
5.No paint qc issue. Just flawless beautiful anime matt paint.
Cons
1.no clickies
2.flopy knee and hip joint
3.tight squeaky shoulder joints
4.horrible floppy shoulder pads
5.couple of fall apart accessories.
*oh I wouldn’t know about reg color ver., but my B&W does NOT have clear eyes.*

And YET, I give him 4 of 5 despite these glaring flaws. I dont know when we're going to get this character in this color looking this good at this price... He looks AWESOME displayed. Make SOC look like a toy.

Anyway, I humbly present you all, my humble video review.

Very nice review! Everything you note is also true of the regular colored version in my experience.

Hi GreenGetterGuy.

Yes it uses clear yellow plastic with the iris painted on top.

[greengetterguy]

Nice! Looks really cool.

Yeah B&W is completely painted white then painted black iris on top.

I do really like the quality of the plastic they used.

“Sounds” it makes when handled is very sturdy haha. Reassuring “clunking” sounds.
