I suspect the style will be very much in line with their designers flexing on GGG. But this is a pricy line to get into so I think I’m staying out. It’s the perfect “I wish someone I knew had it so I could mess with it” item.
Maybe Choryujin will be a little cheaper since it's only two robots, fewer parts ya know? Yeah, probably not.
They have some nerve leaving out the accessories at that price, reminds me of how angry I was when Bandai pulled that shit with the SoC Big O. I still brought it though, like a chump. #partoftheproblem lol In other news, we were talking about Shinkalion last week and I mentioned how over whelming its presence seemed when I was in Japan. Well Goodsmile are holding a poll for their Moderoid line, this is the third one they've done apparently, I wasn't watching the line prior to the Gattai exhibition so I missed the previous ones. Anyway, to cut a long ramble short they put up the results of the first poll and well it speaks for itself. Conversely the view from outside of Japan was very different. It really just shows how much they love their trains, it's hard to even comprehend for most of us I imagine. It does help that the anime was airing at the time but even so the Shinkalion vote must have been split in quite a number of different directions and it still dominated the first poll, just crazy. The current poll is here: 第3回 MODEROID 商品化希望アンケート｜メカスマ Goodsmile are actually encouraging international fans to take part and so there's an English option for it. I voted for Ganleon (SRW OG), Eldorado V (Gun X Sword) and Eureka Seven (just in general lol) I didn't put any braves in my answers because I'd rather see those in Hagane works. Be interested to hear other people's answers, I'm sure there would be many different choices from this diverse group of fans.
I'm just happy to see El Dora V, I would love for him to actually get a toy. Seven Changer, Dr. Yellow, Dann, Mazinger Zero and J Decker would also be on my list.
Another issue I have is the actual figure is smaller than advertised. At almost $500 without some of the accessories, it's definitely not worth it but I've paid for it already since last year. :/ Well, most Sentinel products aren't worth the asking price.
I think he's saying that all those accessories in those pics are an option set- and weren't included in the base fig.
Wha Okay, yeah, that's bullshit. I thought those actually came with it. I agree, for the price they're asking all of that should've been included.
It's not hard to imagine why the Japanese love trains since they are a daily part of life for tons of people there.
Trains were a daily part of my life for years and I certainly don't love them for it. It's not just using them a lot, the Japanese take real pride in the quality of their transport system
The new Shinkalions are up now. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B08WZRFNT5/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_track_package_o1_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B08WZSL569/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_track_package_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You beat me to it! It was the first thing I did this morning. Off the shinkalion train, do we know if Ga Orn transforms? It looks like he has some transformation hinges on his back, but I don't know if that's for the combined mode or not.
Yeah I'm starting to get a little nagging voice at the back of my mind about that too. I'm sure it does, there are a lot of hinges there but those legs look like they're only for the robot modes, they look a bit slim to hold all that up.
