Can we get a news credit here? Stop shirking my boy!

 

I love you more than anyone else ever will. Except for a few people. But you’re high on my list!!!!!

 

Wow wow!! It's hard to determine accurately, but I'd say Raiden there is a good 'twice as tall' as the individuals. If that's true, closer to 35cm than 30cm! That's two inches that really do make a difference if correct!!  

 

I've never ordered from Amazon Japan. Will Getsuei automatically ship once it's in stock?

 

At least from the side, looks better than in the magazine pictures

 

If you have a preorder in you'll automatically be charged and he'll automatically ship.

 

Im not too sure about the specifics but it seems if you pay off your item with gift cards very early you’ll have your item shipped later than the people who are charged at the time of release. At least it feels like that. Cause I need these paid items asap!!!!! Getsuei is shipping this weekend!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooooo~~~~!!!!

 

Getsuei came to about 16609 yen or $117 USD with a couple yen taken off with reward points. Can't wait

 

Is that with or without shipping?

 

Should be with. I'm at $115 and change from when I ordered

 

Oh I think Raiden in the new pictures is holding a gun - that’s new!

 

Is there still an active link to order Getsuei on Amazon JP??

 

Here's the link but it's through an Amazon affiliated seller rather than Amazon itself. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/aw/d/B09PYVWFLT?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

 

That Getsuei Ad reminded me of the 2001 Bionicle ads, where the Toa would just do something lol

 

I find it absolutely bizarre that TT seems to prefer the weird back plate sticking straight out on Getsuei. Even putting it like that in the CG ads. That is going too far to try and replicate the G1 toy look, in my opinion. I'm so happy it's possible to fold it down flat against his back.

I think that Raiden on display is still the block proto, but I hope to be wrong. It would be great to see an update on the design.

 

that promo video went really fuckin hard. God, i wish we got a Tf show that looked like that. Im not against using the toys as show models when they actually look that hot when they transform. Im not gonna be picking up Getsuei, im good with just Shouki, but god DAMN if i was on the fence that clip would have sold it for me. im digging all these promos.

I love how the original promo homages the original raiden commercial too, with all the environments n stuff.

 

Posted this vid hours ago in the Takaratomy expo thread. Takaratomy really know how to do epic promo vids.

 

We knew the back plate folded months ago

 

Anyway, Raiden is a chonky boy, compared to Legacy Menasor
