Macross73 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 just learned through Robot Japan that the new Fewture Mazinger and Great Mazinger wont be available thru HLJ. only thru the online store and apparently Fewture Artstorm doesn't sell outside asia.

Graham Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yeap. Prefer the first link of Dragonnar. Though tecnically that's the upgraded form I think. I prefer that one. It's not an upgraded version. It's a stylized version of the Dragonar that appears only in the opening animation. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHobo Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Question. Is the Dancouga being sold at HLJ right now a reissue? If so does anyone know if this reissue will include improvements and fixes over the original? At first I was going to pick one up. but after hearing about the loose: head, hips and feet being able to chip easily I'm rather skeptical about this bot. Can anyone give me some information about this? Thanks I'd really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was going to pick one up. but after hearing about the loose: head, hips and feet being able to chip easily I'm rather skeptical about this bot. Can anyone give me some information about this? Thanks I'd really appreciate it. I used to own one (i was destroyed in a fire), I vaguely remember the loose hips. The main complaint was the way the head attatched, requiring (not really requiring as you could attach it without any part swaping but an optional neck piece that offered a firmer connection and greater range of motion was included.) The toes on the elephant mecha ( forget its name, Great Moss?) Can scrap easily if you don't handle them with care. And the treads on the bottem of the feet also wear easily. I'd still recommend it, but from what I hear stuff like the Ideon and the Gunbuster are much more solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macross73 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I've been a Star Wars fan forever. I admit this is bit of a stretch as far as chogokin are concerned , but Darth Vader is now like the Hyper Dynamite Mazinger Z. same inner die cast body and vinyl armor.

Mowe Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) A Darth Vader SOC would be very cool, but this one seems to have some head-body proportion problem (the head is a little too big and the body is too much like a child) I've been a Star Wars fan forever.

Mowe Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) I have seen a few posts where the torso connection (a ball joint made of plastic...but fairly strong stuff) actually snapped, possibly due to the weight of the upper body (remember some people display their Getter 2 with that freaking big drill) or the mis handling of the owner. Not common but it has happened. I display mine with no drill, a save bet. Nevertheless, good enforcement around crucial connection is important, especially with the price tag of these babies.

Twoducks Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Nevertheless, good enforcement around crucial connect is important, especially with the price tag of these babies. You can say that again! I really don't know if I should wait for a rerelease (come on Fewture! At least put out a metallic grey version if you don't want to piss of the collectors) or bite the bullet before they get even more expensive (how's getter 2 compared to the others?). I could also wait and see if they do the other Getters. At least the late Mr. Robo left some more designs based on Getter 1: I don't know if these are his too (but I thing I see his signature and they all share common elements Found here http://gettermario.dynamicforum.net/277042...NING-t684-0.htm Edited September 6, 2007 by Twoducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) OMFG!!!! They definitely have all the signature of Sato. Where did you dig them up, 2Ducks!!!! I so want Dai-Apollon in metal, I knew of him when I was very little and he is one of my fav but there are really no good diecast of him (or at least I can't afford those E-Bay Price Hike). Can you imagine that Dai-Apollon weight 1Kg?? And the Dragon Getter BTY, personally, I think Getter 2 looks the hottest (please excuse my pun but he does look like a drag in diecast....). Sato did such a fantastic job re-inventing Getter 2. His movement are also better than the Getter 1 because he doesn't has that freaking cape. his accessaries are fun and has the best fitting of the 4 getters. Don't let my comments about the torso joint frighten you, I think if you are careful with it, it should be fine.

The other ones just poped up when I was searching to see if it was "Dr" or "Mr" Robo when I was writing my last post. Nice surprise I say Hope Mr. Robo's familiy gets a compensation for those designs. Fewture has material to make a lot of chogokins (even though it kinda worries me that all of them are variations of Getter one... maybe he didn't dot any variations of Getter 2 ) I just wonder how cool a Getter Ligar would look. BTY, personally, I think Getter 2 looks the hottest (please excuse my pun but he does look like a drag in diecast....). Sato did such a fantastic job re-inventing Getter 2.

Macross73 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 i'm gonna go broke getting these guys (if they're ever made). I am concerned about the waist joins of the Mazingers. I had hoped that the connection would be a metal connection. as long its super strong then OK. though it'll still worry me. I finally got a Fewture Black Getter absolutely the best but its so expensive. I haven't messed with it too much I just want to keep him safe. Of all the diecast figures these have been the best purchases. As far as playing/ posing I dig the Hyper Dynamite Mazinger it heavy, looks nice and I don't think I'll get upset if something happens to it.

Macross73 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'm not familiar with the series so I'm not sure about getting this yet, but looking at the diagram it doesnt look like its a combiner. it looks like it one piece with various joint through out.

Mowe Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) Aoshima Shin Getter. I have a little mix feeling about this. May be not so much Aoshima's fault but the design just doesn't look as exciting as I hoped. I think it needs a bit more getter red somewhere. I am imagining it will look a little out of place when parked next to the Shin Getter 1. I really like how SHE interprets the Shin Getter 2 colour scheme. Also, I hope there is a good reason for that big joint running through the drill (may be it opens up??). The joint makes the drill less convincing. Nevertheless, I'll remain as an Aoshima sucker and hope they will do another colour version... :-[ Aoshima Shin Getter Pic source: bizzio from Japan Robot Edited September 16, 2007 by Mowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
