to be honest i also like this one the new paint looks really good, cant wait for more official pics for it Got just 1 for now. POSE+ mentioned this time they made the paint particularly shiny/glossy, and it shows here.

New Pose+ video!!! GoShogun content starts at the 16:17 mark:
Notable differences as per according to the video:
High gloss blue color paint High gloss yellow color paint Vacmetal chrome 42th Ann. decal sheet (for the legs to make it look even more like the vintage Takatoku version) Go Flasher clear red light-up
HKACG event pre-sale, guess this means it gets a general release later wahoo!!!

guys the figure looks amazing my only take is the extra details in the legs (the doors in the legs) knees and feet
not a fan of chrome on the robot but the chrome they did is truly wonderful
any ideas on where to buy the goods ? the cups and other stuff ?

any ideas on where to buy the goods ? the cups and other stuff ? They seem to be convention exclusive, so unless you know someone in Hong Kong who's going it'll be difficult.

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 Goshogun re-color ver. is going to be available at the ACGHK Toy Show in limited quantities (yes, you can pick one up there in person, not a preorder ticket). It will also be available on POSE+ new webstore for purchase at an unspecified later date. 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 (same as their white Repli-Gaigar). Hopefully that will change later and they will take overseas orders. Otherwise, most of us will not be able to get these other than from ebay with high markups. Sigh... poseplus.net/

Glad I was able to pick up the original release. For those of us who who already have the original, this news isn't too bad. But unfortunately for those that missed out originally, this is almost like a double whammy.

Good call gunvalion. Forgot to point out it comes with old school stickers. Kind of funny when they bring that up in the video, reminiscing back in the days when you have to put stickers on as a kid, as well as the regret when you messed it up and stickers all crooked. They want to recreate those moments and let you live through that same regret once again. As for those that wants this, it may not be super bad if you need to fetch one on ebay or HK stores that somehow get their hands on some. Markups are expected, but it may not be that bad, and probably still a lot better than the original current aftermarket prices.

And from what I've seen of dead stock on Japan auctions over the years, they were also already applied. So I am confused about this.

Maybe they just meant it in a more general sense, not the vintage Goshogun specifically. But the provided stickers do try to mimmick the old school look.

To me, the point of getting this release was not paying aftermarket prices... I prefer the OG release and I can get one of those for about 600~700 plus shipping so no point in paying the same or more for the repaint. As I said in another post, I have no attach to Go Shogun, I just think it is a really cool design and I really like this figure, but it is not a must have for me.

Better to get two sets of upcoming Action Toys Albegas than the aftermarket price of one of these.
