Yep. Thats on my checklist for my trip to Japan next month.... Need bigger luggage... The box for this figure is massive, I don't think any luggage can fit it.

So I got the gold version of the robot Reideen... The good: super details and the edges are crisp and the quality is good as Sentinel does. The gold I actually was pretty fond of. For the size, there are a lot of articulations on the figure. The bad: I must have been working out because this thing weighs nothing. It was a bit challenging to get it to stand initially until I figured out the joints which were initially stiff. The figure was not too large and it could have benefitted from a larger size. There is no diecast except on the joints.

i guess this is why the priced dropped so hard

They should have added diecast for the legs as there is very limited movement there. Adding that weight would stabilize it more because I had a difficult time keeping it standing with the wings extended out.

I like more diecast as well, but I have a feeling the legs would not be a good place to put them because it will weigh down on the legs or weaken the knees in Godbird mode. Chest and waist would be my pick. But honestly, I am fine the way it is. My favorite Raideen redesign without a doubt, and a well executed figure at $130~ shipped. Bigger than a Metal Robot Damashii, cost similar, and weigh just about as much in terms of diecast content. I consider it as a bargain.

I think that should plant the figure better...

Riobot are allergic to diecast
joking aside, i honestly dont have the figure so i cant weight in on the details and what they should add, but i understand your point

I got mine. While it is lacking in weight, I still liked it. =)
