if the price between bbts and HLJ is that close i would surely buy it from BBTS because of its great services. I agree. I would get it from BBTS as well. The only problem might be in determining who can ship it to you first (BBTS or HLJ), unless you don't really care too much about that. }D

GGGG has his review up for him. Looks and sounds like all my problems with the figure have been solved. But with the price point I might just sit this out and stick with my old fig.

Thanks for the link! So there is no new box which means there is no "version 2.0" designation. You have to open it up and look for the H&H hands to be 100% sure you have the "improved" product (if you think your seller has old stocks of the 1st release).

Is the main torso guy (lion) identical to the one found on GGG or SGGG?

No, not identical, though the differences between GGG's Gaigar and GGGG's Gaigar are pretty minimal. The two main differences are the lion's head and mane (meaning the GGG's mane pieces wont really line up with the GGGG's lion head) as well as the waist armor pieces. GGGG's Gaigar also has die-cast legs, but that's a structural difference more than a visual difference.
Long story short, you could swap the two of them, but there'd be a few bits that wouldn't quite work (you'd pretty much have to ignore the fold over mane pieces on GGG, and the waist armor would differ), however there's no reason I can think of why you can't make it all fit.

Gold i've seen this page before & also i'm looking for more info concerning GGGG ver 2.0 on CMS website.
But i think this is an old listing for the original GGGG release. b'coz i translated the page using babelfish & the item was stated to be released on january the 12th 2006. & it didn't mentioned some of the changes that was revealed on toysdaily i.e a new mold for GGGG head (not Gaigar), knee joints improvement, 3 new driver heads & a pair of hell and heaven fists.
So far there's been no additional info on the GGGG re-issue on CMS website. (umm..maybe i'm wrong on this. if someone here have the link abt it on CMS website, it would be nice to know)

That's the original release page, yeah. The 1.0 GGGG had diecast legs.

On the main page that has a caption with the news, it states that the reissue will be on sale from May 31st. But nothing about it being ver 2 or anything.

Thanks guys, but I just copied that link from the CMs main page's latest news info . www.cmscorp.jp/top.htmlI wonder why CMs didn't have a new page up for the 2.0 release? Gold

Thanx for the heads-up bootx2! at least now i roughly know when i'm gonna get my re-issue GGGG. Coz the one i pre-ordered isn't the HK limited version.

They probably aren't (and wont) put up a separate page for it because it hasn't been given an offical "2.0" designation. Technically speaking it's just a second run of the same product, but they've upgraded it. According to the importers it has the exact same SKU as the old product, so as far as CM's is concerned it's the same thing and they have no interest of letting people know otherwise.

Well, I asked HLJ about the reissue. Apparently, they were unable to get their order for the product and the preorders will be cancelled. Kinda bummed out about that... So is BBTS the only other place that offers it?

Post by kamenrider on May 27, 2008 21:28:53 GMT -5
Wow, if HLJ japan could'nt get it then BBTS might not be able to get it either. This might be a super limited run for both HK and Jpn versions. Your best bet might be to keep an eye on toywave since they got some of the HK versions.

Whoa.. first Dancougar Nova now the GGGG 2.0 is running into complications. Hmm.. Gold Hmm quite strange just a few days ago i also checked fantofan pre-order page for CMS & somehow the listing for the said item (Genesic GGG) is not there. just the word CMS & no pixs at all. black & blank. nil. this doesn't bode well.. But on the other hand since i'm not too sure how it all works (fantofan), was the listing removed b'coz the item is already out or what? b'coz last time i checked fantofan the item was listed as end of may release.

That is strange. I wonder what's up with CMs Brave Gokin line? Even their Gakeen seems to be in production limbo. Dang.. just when I was excited to hear that they're ACTUALLY going to start releasing Braves again under the Brave Gokin banner with Dagwon this happens.
