The goodsmile dancouga I skipped on just because I have the Sentinel Final dancouga and didn't think I needed another one, but based on how this one turns out, I may get it.

@CZEN2 Oh I can definitely understand that. The Sentinel may have gaps and is small but the articulation is unmatched. The ab crunch,the better die-cast butterfly shoulders for the latest release along with the OVA Wings set added in the Final does give points.

You never know it may happen!

@CZEN2 Guard Diver is a nice one but Battle Bomber are a team of Triple Changers

I haven't heard anything about any villain brave figures. The last I remember was the smp Draias, which was a p-bandai exclusive. Kotobukiya also released a Dino geist, but those are models and not figures. From what I have read in years past about the industry is most companies don't release villain figures, mostly because they don't sell as well as the hero figures. Maybe that has changed in recent years since the time I heard that, but based on most releases, probably not. There are many exceptions of course, but on average, that seems to still hold true.

@@CZEN2 God damned P-Bandai keeps finding new ways to torment me. Sometimes it's a cool model kit, sometimes its a combiner; always getting in the way.

🤣🤣

I would love Draias as well as Gohryu and Hiryu.

Yeah, that is unfortunate

I'll think about it as another subscriber asked me to review it as well, but I'll probably need to read it again before I do.

Not as far as I know

It did, with a metallic repaint, it's called the "Original Edition"

So the original edition is the re-release.... I wish I had known that I would have went for that one

@CZEN2 Yeah, I have no clue why they called it that. It makes things really confusing. Either way, all you technically lose is a darker and glossier paint job similar to Great Mazinkaiser's

You're absolutely right. I thought the original edition was actually the original silly me lol But it does seem to be harder to find as well

You got the bug lol

Yeah, for whatever reason they no understanding of high-end figures and how they should be shipped. When I use Amazon Japan, I don't have that problem, but I usually have to pay a ton for shipping.

However, Mazin Emperor G was able to achieve it.

That's from super robot wars right?

​@antoniotrabuccop4727 Mazin Emperor G was only able to achieve it because ZERO hadn't taken over Koji yet, and it had the help of Shin Getter, Beserk Eva unit 01, and many others. Great Mazinkaiser had no help.

In my opinion, the term "justify" may not be entirely appropriate in this context, as it is largely a matter of perspective. Additionally, it is important to consider the recent inflation that has affected the pricing of various goods and services. The current market value of the item in question is closer to $300, excluding shipping and handling costs. Furthermore, the Sentinel product offered specific features that aligned with my preferences, such as die-cast components and enhanced articulation. Consequently, I opted for the Sentinel product over alternatives like the Might Gaine. I will closely monitor future releases, such as the upcoming Fighbird from Goodsmile, to assess if they address some of the concerns I have identified.

🤔 that's a thought I'll think about it

It seemed that way, but it was only in there for a chapter or 2

Thanks for watching!

I don't know if I've ever tried to put all the packs on one unit I have seen multiple packs on, but usually, it can't stand under that much weight but I'll take it under consideration

@@CZEN2 If there’s a way to put them all without any MS having them attached to, then go for it!

The battery pack doesn't come with any of the striker packs

ooh thanks for the info

Thanks for watching!

Sounds like you got a steal! If I could get it for $100, I would probably pick up the Heliopolis Ver. As far as striker packs, I think I'm only missing the lightning striker just because I didn't like how it looked

What you guys working?!

Thanks for watching! Based on what I saw of them, it looks like it has the original decals and a more glossy finish, which would be like the original release

Only time will tell !

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Not yet

Tbh, I never went back to it. I always wanted the gold frame in its original state, so I never planned on putting any backpacks on it. However, after doing some research, I found that you actually don't need the adapter, and most alternative striker packs should connect without it. But I never tried it to see if that was true or not

@@CZEN2 The peg on my Lightning Striker pack was too wide to fit into the Astray's back, it was not gonna fit through force I had to use a sanding stick on an extra adapter I had from another Metal Build to see it that would fix it, thankfully that worked so I sanded the striker pack's peg and it fits fine now Its just crazy that they released the alternative strike version and the peg doesn't even fit without modifications

I maybe late for this as teh striker pack adapter you need push harder in force and it will click on it and hold very strong.

I can agree with that! I will say the director & people involved know exactly what Seed is and went in 💯

@@CZEN2 I love that they know what they where doing when leaning in to the tropes of seed rather than trying so hard to be deep and seem smart. The movie is so meme worthy that it made it fun as heck! I see Seed as some kind of cheesy soap opera with robots
