I have a question. i collected the item on monday & it's the japan version that i got. so when i opened the box, inside the plastic baggie with the instruction there's a small clear sticker sheet included. What the heck is it? what's it for? b'coz the instruction never indicate on where to apply it. i hope someone can enlighten me on this. thanks. & btw the figure is really a thing of beauty. i luv it! ;D

Are they four (eight? I forget...) clear, long, angular stickers? If so, you can put those along the sides of the chrome "toes" so that they don't scrape along the inside of the ankles when you move them. I never put mine on my GGGG, it didn't seem to need it, but they're there.
I never did figure out where to put the two screw caps they gave me, though.

Btw are you referring to the two big screw caps? well they're for Gadgetgao (the bird). you're supposed to put it inside the circular slot near it's talon/claw. the same spot when you combined it to secure with Gaigar. b'coz when i opened the box the factory already slot it inside.

No, there was a small sprue of two tiny screw covers, about 1cm in diameter each. One was angled, the other was flat.
My memory might be a bit hazy on the quantity and shape of them, admittedly. I took one look at them and promptly tossed them back in the box while I was unpacking everything.

So I got an email from HLJ that said the item has just been shipped... weird.
So I cancelled my order from BBTS.

I can't tell if its the lighting but, did they repaint Gaigars and GGGG's faces silver? Also hows the figure itself combined? Is it nice and solid? I nocticed into some pics you had a piece of paper under the feet. Does he still have a problem doing splits?

Heh heh..sori bro but since i've always liked my original DX GGG by Sonokong so much, i decided to paint the faces of both Gaigar's & GGGG using tamiya chrome silver. also the lack of any paint apps on the CMS ones didn't bring out enough detail on the figure's face. well that's just me doing it purely for aesthetic reason ;D.
As for combining all of em' no problem at all. nice & solid. as for the piece of paper i did mentioned that some parts of my GGGG was broke/or popped out, i was using the piece of paper to mix the epoxy glue while rectifying the problems & taking pixs at the same time.
No more splits at all. the minor improvements they made to area between the crotch & legs did improved on the overall stability of the figure.

Ah I did'nt think I was seeing things. Anyway thats great to hear. I really wish CMS would just release Galion by himself. As much as I want him I just can't sink that much money into him again.

So, wait, just to be a bit more certain: can anyone confirm that, should I order the Brave Gokin GGGG in stock at HLJ now, it's going to be the new version? There's very few hints to go by.. I'm tempted to order one, but lord knows I don't need another Genesic V1. (In fact, it could be argued that I don't need any more genesics period, but I'd beg to differ. Heck, I'm even more sorely tempted to get the MF GGGG final version, since my original was damaged..)

Well for anyone who cares I just got my Genesic Gaogaigar in yesterday and I can honestly say that the stability and effectiveness of the joints are a huge improvement over the first release! For those who want to know I got mine from www.locushk.com, however their out of stock at the moment. This set rocks as now I have a GGGG with a full weapons set that also transforms! Pros: New head sculpt is a nice improvement over the first - Joints and parts fitting are greatly improved where mostly everything is nice and tight - finally 3 bolt driver heads and hell and heaven fists! Cons: - Still top heavy,but thats due to the nature of the design, but its not that bad - Kind of tricky to pose, but once you get the hang of it, there's not much of a problem - Watch out when putting the helmet on Galeon as the gold chrome paint can rub off onto Galeon's head. I suggest maybe sticking some tissue paper between the inner head and the helmet. :C If anyone could tell me of something that could remove the golden paint thats now on Galeon's head could someone suggest something? I was thinking a little dab of paint thinner could take it right off, but i don't want to destroy the PVC head of Galeon. Final Conclusion: Since this is my first GGGG I love it and my hat goes off to CM's as I had good quality paint job and quality control on mine! Advice: Take it slow and everything should be fine. Great set! By the way how do we post pictures on this forum?

Also I'd stayway from the Max version. I hear it still has the problem of its toes breaking from being posed too long.

Sweet, thanks man.
As for the Max Gokin version: never heard of, or experienced, any problems with the toes. o.o The only problems I've had with the figure is having the rotten luck to get one with a malformed shoulder that makes the left arm really, really loose, and managing to pop off, and subsequently misplace, one of the large teeth of the lion-head. But that was just with one out of the three I own.

No problems on my Max Factory Gokin either.
Also, BBTS has the CMs GGGG now. Mine's shipping :-)

Great set! Hmm.. good for you bro. maybe i didn't take it slow enough & that's why parts of mine broke or popped out . Those areas which i've circled yellow are the ones that broke or popped out but i have since rectified them w/epoxy glue.

So is it really broken or a part just keeps popping out BUT not really broken? Just curious.
