Ok!!!!! They are making the Godam tiger and bird parts!!!! That is a big yes!!!! Hope it's a special package with extra body parts to form them. Also is that Mospeada guy on top FREE of magnets??? If so ET is gonna go in a new direction and finally the naysayers will get a brain and realize what a cool company ET really is. BUT let's not forget the guys who rag on ET also like things that suck and have no appeal so..

The Legios toy does not use magnets, but I heard complaints from people who both their Macross toys (also no magnets).
Hopefully, this one will have all the issues fixed.

Hmm, I wonder what is that blurry product on the right-side of this picture:  AFAIK, no one posted pictures of it. Fan service.   |

That danguard has been shown for at least 3 years now.. Lol. I'm looking forward to the other Godam parts and Gakeen which looks good.Man ET has such shadows of CMs , I can't help to miss the company despite the haters because of the "awful" Grendizer.This isn't a hobby for value seekers .. Many times even from Bandai I've felt ripped off , but that's the nature of buying niche exotic Japanese toys of by gone children's heroes.
Btw ET have the best looking fists barnone! One other thing I think it was Yujin or ban-presto that made a Getter one with those shoulder Windows.. Funny as its only been done twice.. Is it a manga thing? Don't remember that in anime.Im thinking yes as they did a Getter Dragon manga figure with slight differences.

I am sorry Baron, but I have to disagree with you on this one.
Although collections should be based on what you like instead of future investment, everyone has the right to expect certain quality on their purchases. Specially when your purchases are north of $150.
I am fortunate to have a job which salary is not that great, but it pays me enough so I can afford the luxury to be in this hobby. And I tell you there is not worse feeling in the stomach than spending $250-$350 on a product with worse quality than a $20 toy.
So yeah, people have the right to demand for the quality they paid off. Because if it comes to throw money away, I already do that when I pay taxes, which I hate!
As for ET, I love their offerings. But that after showing the same figures for the past 3-4 years, and shipment delays they are like HL-Pro.

BU TOYS' Hiroshi Cyborg looks better than the Evolution Toy's, in my opinion. It's too bad BU TOYS' won't be released, at least not for a decade or so, if ever.   |

But that after showing the same figures for the past 3-4 years, and shipment delays they are like HL-Pro. Maybe I'm not communicating it right because I'm bias toward CMs.Ill tell u why first Grendizer by CMs is a good toy not perfect but good. Why I'm irritated is CMs isn't for everyone and the ones who complained the most were expecting Bandai quality...besides the money... I mean most of these guys never owned a CMs toy .. If they did or took any interest in their other toys they would know they aren't always the best although I love all of mine and I have all their Super Robots.Also expecting it to be great based solely on that its "Grendizer" is ridiculous and that's the feeling I got from people. It unnerves me that CMs closed because of people expecting perfect Bandai quality. . CMs is always known for expensive toys and maybe not worth as much as the asking price but it just pissed me off that if they had tried a CMs toy in the past and done some research on how SOC only collectors feel about CMs maybe they would have passed on it. I don't mind paying for a flawed toy if it's a great character but that's me..OK example I have so many ET toys which are worth around 40$ in reality , people know that are magnetic and plastic but still buy them for the price because they know what they are getting and settle for the price do they feel ripped off? Maybe but the money doesn't matter so much when you know what your getting.There was WAAAY too much pressure on CMs to produce a SOC quality toy for SOC guys and either they were rushed, or had used a different factory as I've heard so it suffered.But people chose to put faith in a company they knew little about thinking all toys asking SOC prices will be of that quality.They took that risk and yes some specimens were bad but certainly it was the minority..and blown out of proportion. This ruined my favorite company.Also it costs a smaller company much more to produce than Bandai so prices were higher...making it worse for people.Ofcourse I can understand being mad paying a lot for a bad toy, but the Grendizer case reeks of ignorance about the company,SOC snobbery,overblown attitude about all of them being bad when I've seen only a handful of unnavceptable ones,TMZ got a bad one and a good one,thee was one in RJ with bad paint horns,and a few complaints about the leg paint at the seams.The spazer issue of the doors is fixable but hiding the figure in the ship? Who would display it that way? It's not a tiny toy. Maybe I'm just mad as CMs would have completed my collection eventually and IM entirely pissed about Acrobunch being their next offering and that was nixed by the "Horrible" Grendizer,I'm looking at mine now and it's THE best looking Grendizer in the world so that has to say something. |

CM's definitely proved they could make way better figures than Bandai when they released their Brave Kotetsu Jeeg and its add-ons packs. Bandai SOCs have not been able to touch that yet! If they had released that amazing Dancouga Nova, oh boy!!! And yes, Bandai has released a several less-than-perfect very expensive figures too. The DX SOC Mazinger Z is one of them. Faceplates that like to fall off at the slightest touch, chest plates fall off if you stare at them for more than a second or two, elbow locking mechanism totally sucks ass, etc... However, CM's for whatever the reason, did screw up the Grendizer release. They should've pushed it back or even cancel it temporarily instead of just switching factories and skimping on Quality Control checks. I got three of the CM's Grendizers, two Regular and one Limited: First Regular one had very floppy hip joints, and Spazer doors would not work. Then I got an Italian Limited one, which was perfect, but the Spazer doors will not work. Then I got another Regular one, which was also perfect... minus the Spazer doors that would not work either! After that, I got rid of the first one with the floppy joints thou. But like Baron said, I display Grendizer on its own, not inside the Spazer, so defective doors don't really matter much. And Baron hit it on the head when he stated that we pay for the character. I wish the Evolution Toy figures were $40, or regular price but made like SOCs/CM's die cast figures. Unfortunately, ET is the only one making those characters at that scale. I know what they are, their quality, and construction materials, so I just pay no questions asked.  }D |
