No official price info yet, it seems. So far, all Robo-Dou figures had a list price of approximately US$160, according to HLJ. They have the Patlabor Ingram 2 & 3 set (just one figure), EVA-01 and EVA-02 up for preorder at US$154.52. Cheaper at Threezero's store, where they go for US$129.00 each.
Threezero's small and mid scale figures are relatively affordable. They only go in the +$400 territory with their larger-scale figures (and multi-packs), like their 19 inches tall Premium Optimus Prime.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the price for this toyline. Don't see it go much higher than what krimpov pointed out. Though I am not feeling this sculpt and paintjob myself.

Ordering metallic one kind surprise at the price. 3A figures are cheaper than anything else but no one knows how they achieve it. If you check their Transformers figures you'll see that many love them and they often wonder how they keep the prices as good as they are.

I have DLX Optimus and its INCREDIBLE.
The joints are ANOTHER level above Metal Build...perhaps THE best in the industry? (IMHO)

(IMHO) I've gotten several of threezero's gokins (Optimus, Bumblebee, Blitzwing, Nemesis and Ingram 1) and I'm quite happy with them also. I'm looking forward to getting Eva-1 in the next few weeks, and hoping the trend continues. I do have to say though, I think the Robo-dou Ingram isn't quite at the level of DLX Optimus in terms of articulation and joints, but it's not a huge step down either. I just wish Eva-1 and Shin Getter were going to be as big as Optimus is since they are some of the larger anime mecha. Also, apparently the difference between DLX and Robo-Dou is Robo-Dou is exclusively anime/ manga derived mecha and DLX is mecha from everything else.

I finally got my anime color version Shin Getter from the ThreeZero store, today.
I was a bit disappointed at how matte the paintjob looked through the box window. It did look kind of lanky, too. But once I removed it from its packaging those lukewarm first impressions just went away.
That paintjob is simply gorgeous, but CCS Gurren Lagann it is not: it's definitely a ThreeA/ThreeZero piece. Those who like their robots to look like showroom sportcars might be disappointed (even the metallic version looks like it has paint weathering), but this is exactly the way I like them. The white parts have a matte finish with SOME shine and metallic sparkles into it: not quite an eggshell finish. The red part are a bit shinier, with the shoulders and "kneepads" being the most reflective. It kind of looks like someone went rally racing with a Ferrari. It has scuff marks and dirt everywhere, but when the sun hits the hood, you can still catch a glimpse of that sweet candy red shine from underneath. You can see it once was a showroom piece, but beating up alien invaders all day long tend to be harsh on the clearcoat.
I didn't get the metallic version, but I'm tempted to grab one while some stores still have some stock available. I shouldn't, though: I don't even have enough room to display the first one that I got.
As for the quality: it's a solid piece. Nice heft to it. No floppy mess here: Articulations are nice and strong, but not too hard to move. Although it doesn't have any ratchet joints, so only time will tell how long it will stay that way. Putting the alternate hands parts can be more difficult and annoying than it should be. The double joints on the knees with sliding parts look sweet, considering this is not a + $300 Sentinel figure.
And about those proportions. It is true that it is skinnier than it was in the anime, but in person it looks just right, really.
Conclusion: if you don't mind the off-model non-anime accurate sculpt and the paintjob style, I would strongly recommend it.
Oh! And be careful if you're wearing long sleeves. Those arm blades are long, thin and pointy. I bet they could easily cling into your sweater and snap off. I was having flashbacks of the Aoshima days playing with that thing.

Cool! Thank you for the review.
Glad you’re enjoying your piece. ThreeZero is building good reputation with their top shelf joints AMAZING price and generous metal count. Good on them.

DLX Optimus Prime is VERY heavy.
It’s a TRUE Masterpiece. It is top 3 figure in ANY figure category in my book.
Can’t recommend him enough. He is neck and neck with CCS Zero. The ONLY thing these two lacks is external metal. Thus like CCS Zero, It’s a DX Metal Build class figure NOT Gokin (again, in my own little book). still, DELUX in every sense of the word.

The deep metallic red looks great, but for some reason grey limbs just don't work on Shin Getter, IMO. On Getter 1 neither. Getter Dragon gets a pass, because it doesn't have a white Getter Machine, I guess. (But still looks better with white limbs.)
It looks good on its own, but I think these pics confirm my decision to skip the metallic version and stick with the anime one.
Now... if ThreeZero were to make a repaint with deep red metallic parts like this one, but with white limbs — a "Metallic Anime version" — I'll be a little poorer.

Agree with you on the color. I had both versions PO'd but when I saw video reviews of the metallic version I cancelled it. The silver color looks off to me. Of course this is personal preference for my collection, so for those that like their metallic version, you win too.

I like it myself, it will stand out from my other getters which all have white.
