What's the ballpark price of their diecast robot products?

their last metal tetsujin (the 12 inch one with internal details like this one) was 30,000 yen MSRP. That was 2018 though, before chogokin prices really soared. The quality of the last one was so so, looks very good as a display piece, but nowhere near SOC DX in terms of fitment. Panels kind of flop around once opened and the lack of sturdiness in the panel connections don't give one confidence, but the paint was good, and it is visually an awesome piece. If you're like me and just display the bots and don't pose with it too much, it's a good piece.

That video is a bit odd the way it was edited. Those flashes with panels closing one by one, took me a second viewing to notice the panels closing from leg and up. Was wondering if there was some bugs on the youtube playback. Figure looks pretty good there, but not confident about the quality.

I wonder how big this is... the problem is bandai soc is great, and I don't need opening panels. So price point probably would be a deciding factor, and the soc is really cheap right now....

I'm usually hesitant with anything by Evolution Toys, after being burned by QC issues from their Dynamite Action Albegas, Future Quest Albegas and Future Quest Tetsujin-28 figures. However, I did pick up their Getter Robo Future Quest figure and it actually had really good quality. I am hoping that is an indicator that things are improving with them. I am patiently waiting for their Future Quest Getter Dragon whenever that may come out. If this Getter Dragon has the same exact quality as their Getter Robo, this purchase would be a slam dunk for me.

I wonder if Action Toys will do this figure to compete.
