Buster review is up! It is a prototype sending to reviewer to review; there might be slight modification, but it is pretty much what you can expect. The lights are cool and you won't need a stand to keep it light up like strike did. Enjoy! WOW! Look at this one. @ innorous Thanks for video update, man! Really appreciate it. Now, this is what I call a Metal Build is! Look at the size of this beast! Its even a slight bigger than Strike. Yes I'm excited for this release and I don't think I can buy Metal Build now after owning one of these 1/72. That's right don't need stand to keep LED lit up. My only concern like with Hot Toys is leaving these tiny batteries inside figure itself. Sometimes the batteries are pain to install and take out especially if the batteries need to be replace often from my experience with my War Machines. Unscrewing panels, losing tiny screw,removing head off potential broken tabs or just forgetting the batteries in general. But I can deal with it because these are just damn impressive pieces. I'll buy any of the releases I'm sold. π I have ton of Chogokin and this is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. It's on top center shelf

I Manage to get a Aile Strike for my Xmas present and just opened it. π Thanks for everybody's great feedback in this thread I had to have this piece in my own hands. This is exactly the scale I'm looking for and very happy with the purchase. I just preordered the Buster. Like to have Vientiane 1/72 Destiny Gundam once it's available.

Yeah I've been thinking lately how expensive and bigger these "toy collectibles" are now these days. Seems 1/6, PG,DX size items are popular and average costs is $300-$500 easily now. That's the new norm. Like Hot Toys Hulkbuster like $900??? Do any of you ever sit there and look at your collection and roughly estimate and total it all up? I know I've done it and joke to people I could buy a nice used car with what I spent. π
But they damn sure look bad ass all displayed. I haven't been so happy and proud about collectible line Since I got into Chogokins though and I've collected many toy lines.

Actually if you all remember the SOC Voltron kept going up in price at BBTS and still kept selling out and add rising cost of shipping prices the new retail price for SOC Voltron won't be $300. I think last batch was like $350 not including shipping at BBTS before it totally sold out. Every year shipping goes up so you have to account for that as well since this Voltron is like heaviest SOC. $375-380 was considered a steal after it just sold out. I got one at $280 then 2nd for $375.

I would love to just geek out on mecha heaven over there. I wish anime jungle in LA would expand their shops to Be like this so I don't have to do long fly over. π Great photos and share.

Holy crap good I saw this thread. Was about to collect Metal Build but I don't like 1/100 scale. I'm going to have buy one of these 1/72. So they are just two of them by Mo Show at 1/72? Welcome to the Club! Unfortunately, yes. Almost two, for exact words, because Buster is not release yet. Collecting 3rd party Gundam is like playing a roulette. If we get lucky, we will have it. If not ( I mean, BANDAI shutdown the company first), then we won't. LOL Thank you. Where can I get second version of Mo Show Strike without cable sticking from the back?

Yes it's little long. I was wondering if I could push the head down myself. I'm just glad it stays on. The neck attachment could have been thicker.

I like mine especially since head issue is fixed with the extra head. Didn't have any problems and glad I just got rid of the discoloring original.

The drill set was cheap found it on eBay few months ago several of them.

I Was little hesitant to throw down lot of money on DX Mazinger but my DX Mazinger is solid no issues. Even changed my forearms to iron cutters while elbow joint attached and no problems Nothing falls off. The DX Mazingers and Manon/Gorg are centerpieces of my collection. Just not sure where to fit DX Combattler and Grendizer

Yeah I saw listed at that $171. Couldn't believe how discounted it was and how this didnt sell well compared to Voltron. You would think it would have sold out. I see this on on resell on eBay like regularly too. I was going to buy this later but admit I thought it would sell out like Voltron earlier this year. Yeah, Iβm glad I bought two Voltrons when the first came out. I can display the lions π¦ and Voltron both at the same time. Itβs my favorite SoC to-date. Same here I have two Voltron displayed same way. I thought about it doing same with Megazords since it's cheap and I was like naaaaah.

If its that tall from what everybody says I'll most likely buy it even though it's not Getter I want.
