    Alright got the article and gallery up for the Master Made Gin Hero EX Deluxe set: Link in signature

    [​IMG]

    Article breaks it down but in the end I gave it an 8.5/10. Another solid piece from the company but hoping that at some point they push things a bit more creatively.

    A few pics from the gallery which is towards 30 images:

    Got mine yesterday. I really like the look of him, lots of fun to play with but... none of my electronics work. I even bought a new pack of batteries in case somehow all the CR-2032s I had somehow went bad. But nope, just 0/2 on working lights.

    If I'm not mistaken, this has been a problem with some of MM's releases. I recall people reporting Apollo having the same issue with lights not working (now that I think about, I don't think I ever tested mine).

    I don't plan on getting Gin Hero, but maybe as more people get him, we'll see if this is a widespread issue.

    Pretty sure my Diabolus Rex also had defective electronics, but it doesn’t bother me that much. Still, it’s sad that this is such a wide spread issue.

    In the meantime, any clue if MM will be moving on to Devastator, now, or are they at work on a God Bomber to go with Ginrai?

    Now, I’d like to see MM double back around to Predaking and SkyLynx, or just progress on to Transformers Victory, the best of the JG1 shows from when I watched the trilogy a coupe years ago.

    It’d also be interesting to see MM try to make Chella, Vigilem, and Lodestar from IDW’s comics, but my best guess is that they’d move to the Unicron trilogy after (J)G1.

    The deluxe version of this release (the "statue") has all the God Bomber parts.

    True, but it wouldn’t be the first time a company produced a Ginrai with some armor parts and then decided down then line, “Eh, let’s make a God Bomber, too.” For example, MakeToys’ Thunder Manus had his Divine Suit, and then later Divine Shooter showed up.

    I learned (Or had experience with electronics from high school) how to fix the electronics in these. Got a soldering kit, battery holders, lights (they are on Ebay I had found) and if this is the case with mine, am prepared to fix if it is the easiest way. It's my second option because I'd purchased an MM from a person not a store.

    My Apollo had dodgy lights that only sporatically lit. I never bothered on the rest.
    I was very excited Odin's were separate chunks, hoping they learned to make it something easily replaceable. I assume that was not the case (my Caesar is trapped at work).

    My first copy of MM Titan was a QC mess, including the lights barely working. Luckily I was able to exchange it for a new one and that one still works to this day.

    Is it possible to put the statue head on the “super” body? Or does it only work with the god bomber upgrade?

    You can use either head on both

    So there's no base mode for this figure right? Is there any way to make some sort of fan mode that resembles a base mode?

    There’s this idea, which seems more like a portion of a base, but roughly fits the bill...

    Thanks for posting. That seems like more of a weapons platform than a base mode but still cool to see. I wish I could have this figure in-hand before I decided if I wanted to spend the money. I could always buy then sell if I don't like it but I dunno...
