The jet scrandle looks like a painted prototype to me. And the eye activation gimmick is clearly not dialed in. If you saw the video, the eyes activated when jet pilder was on, and the eyes did not revert back after the pilder was off. And if you look at the close-up pictures of the head, you can tell that it was poorly painted. Unlike the figure shown at C3Tokyo2016. It is a nicely painted prototype. Right but could it not be articulated prototype? they did not push down again on jet .. If it's a spring design you would have to push down again like a pen to disengage eyes..so just removing it would keep eyes still lit..I agree it's a proto but how complete this proto is is speculation ..But indeed you have valid points also CFF |

You have multiple levels of prototypes ranging from mock-ups all the way to close to production.

You can't really tell by this I'm leaning toward clueless presenters with an unfinished piece.. At least if we had better presenters they could play with it more in whatever phase or demonstrate what it WILL do when finished like eyes , scrander etc.. |

Yeah, they seemed to be way too careful with the figures, like they didn't want to break them. But, no matter... pre-orders are up at HLJ, and should be opening everywhere else tonight.  }D |

I think that HLJ either pulled it out of sold out because the link provided by 70s Super Robot fan gives me a server error. And I do not see it doing a search.  |

Could be HLJ's bandwidth related too.

Hmmm... seems we were wrong on the "Changing Eyes" feature. Check out what the Amiami listing describes:
"Mode before Pilder-on created for the first time in "Soul of Chokin" series Set includes face part before the attachment of Pilder. Jet Pilder is attached in magnet style."
Looks like it is a "Face"swapping deal instead of an actual mechanical gimmick.

Never thought it would be an extra face plate.   |
