    Honestly, it depends. They easily have the worst reputation for QC.

    For what it's worth they have excellent after sales support. I feel safer buying something from them than I do Takara but XTB is definitely not without its issues.

    That depends on the figure, their more recent ones are good.

    Each figure is hit and miss. No one can guarantee the next one will have good QC and no one can guarantee the next one will have bad QC. You either have faith or wait for reviews.

    Powermaster Prime is gonna be the next Haslab project. It's gotta be. Powermaster Prime is in Victory.

    God Jinrai (same design as PMOP w/ Apex Armour) makes a brief appearance in Victory, before being remade as Victory Leo. Much as I'd like a good God Ginrai (to put alongside Power Baser and Thunder Manus) I'm not thinking that's enough of an appearance for it to be included in any Victory project.

    Others already said that but if they plan to make God Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus Prime they would have teased Super God Masterforce, where he was the main character, instead of Victory.

    I would love it if they would eventually give Ginrai/ God Ginrai/ Powermaster OP at least the Commander Class treatment that Rodimus Prime just got. Would be a helluva figure.
    But to stay on topic, I hope we get more info about this guy from KFC soon. Would love to see more pics of the combined mode(s).

    I would even say Victory Saber eventually. It makes all the sense in the world for them and it would fit the higher cost crowdsourcing protocol. They got $450 for MP-44 so they can get a lot for this one.

    That can also be a "beware" situation. Depends where the reviewer got their figure. If they got it directly from the company so they could review it, chances are they cherry pick a good one for the reviewer.

    My strategy is to watch Bobby skull face because he is hyper critical and breaks everything and emgo because he loves everything.
    Then you split the difference

    Think we'll still see some of this show up this year? I don't know why I didn't think about it until just now, but they're selling this in 3 parts, which at the cheapest I've seen them all listed(showz) we're looking at $485 for the complete set. That seems insane to me compared to say fans hobby's version which is usually around $350 for everything.

    I am just fine watching only Emgo, because he is quite fair with the figures he reviews.

    I have a feeling we'll at least see something else new by EOY.

    Either way, at this point i'm all in. Opened my copies of FH's Ginrai and Godbomber the other day and while Ginrai was fine, I never got to PMOP as the Godbomber just ruined the entire experience for me and i'm both keeping my POs on the Raijin set in and most probably gonna sell off Power Baser.

    It's really hard to say, Keith Just put out a bunch of re-issues so it seems like now would be a great time to get back out their with the next project.

    The problem is that XTransbots just revealed a dozen projects, so this could be way on the back burner
