"Less detail"? Whaddya mean "Less detail"?! Look at all that complex sculpting all over his body! His crotch is more detailed than the 1988 brick.GuyIncognito wrote:So it's a non-transforming figure with less detail than the tranforming version... and let me guess, it only costs three times more than the transforming version. If they removed all the articulation and cut the legs off, they could call it a "bust" and sell it at double the price.

It's like some people think $100 for an action figure is never heard of... I mean Play Arts? Hot Toys? Figmas? LOl Japan's been charging $100 for action figures for a while now...

a better comparison would be like Revoltech, but this is more like
a finely sculpted statue that looks poseable

Just noticed Godginrai sporting a samurai. So this incarnation of his probably from Victory?

Good point, but after looking at the few Victory pics with him on tfwiki, they don't really seem to match up.

This redesign with a sword is more likely just Art Storm having some fun with his look.
Though, word is getting around that it might not be what we think it is. That is, not another EX Gokin figure, but something else like a model kit.

But this time no "Ginrai".
Model kit? Must be a very expensive one.

I surmised "Victory" incarnation because iirc, Ginrai never used a sword in Masterforce. A lot of the TFs in Victory either had swords, javelins and melee weapons.......not included in their original toys.

The inclusion of this figure's sword is probably just artistic license.

That artitistic license again Here it looks bad@ss but on MP Starscream ver.1 it kind of got screwed.
I do hope the reports are wrong that this is a kit. If this is the regular TF Ex Gokin, then I'm in!

Just a quick Photoshop halfassery to get an idea when it's finally coloured...

I'm looking forward to Arcee too. She's always been one of my favourite female robot designs (perhaps eclipsed only by Charming Drossel) and it's good to see a proper representation of her robot mode. I hope the headsculpt isn't too pointy though- one of my favourite things about her head design is how rounded, gentle and "cute" it looks, and a pointy chin could somewhat detract from that.

These new images of the now colored figure come from a post on twitter by the designer of Art Storm's EM Gokin line, Alan Moriguchi.
This is a stylized non transforming figure representing God Ginrai from the Transformers Masterforce series, who we know in the west as Powermaster Optimus Prime.

The Katana's still an odd inclusion, but not a bad one.

Takara Diaclone
Takara Microchange
Tomy Plarail
Tomy Zoids
Tokatoku Dorvack
Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie series
and a toy from ToyCo called 4 Changeable Astro Magnum
So Jetfire and Omega Supreme look terrible too, I guess, because they are taken from other robot toylines?

Why are you telling me the history of transformers because I had a difference of opinion. My goodness the internet creates stupidity on a grand scale, and memes aren't helping you either. You literally wasted precious kilobytes because I just told you and you response to go implode on itself. My,my,my we feel special.
yes I'm a bad ass, thank you. Now run along with your posts and drool over Super God Gundam...err I mean Ginrai

You do know that in anime, everyone gets an inspiration from everything? Starsaber looks like a Gundam Core fighter connected to a G-booster etc etc.
Moriguchi just made the Godginrai form more proportional. The original is as blocky as a cube (which I sure love) and the gun it is sporting comes from the Godbomber version that was not produced.
Not even trying to convince you to buy this but I think it is uncalled for to burn wj88 for his post.
It not transforming............well you had the Action Masters.
On the record, once this gets a retail release date, I'm getting one.

Nah he deserved it by implying I didn't know how many lines Transformers borrowed from and posting that stupid meme. As I have stated it needs to transform and look less Gundam-y.
I want an up-to-date Ginrai and GodBomber not an add on kit or statue that really does not embody what I saw in Super God Masterforce.

What you said! If there be a kick@ss MP of Godginrai, I'll triple wet my pants!
And those katanas/swords are really out of place I'd grant you that.

But dude, this isnt even a proper Hasbro or Takara release. They just licensed the character to Art Storm for them to make a toy as part of their Gorkin line which isn't based on Transforming figures. It's akin to the Roadbuster release pictured below. I am assuming that since you know so much about the brand, you were aware of this and that it isn't Hasbro or Takara making this figure. It's like all the superdeformed transformers figures out there, just another take from another company on the characters. If anything transformers related had to be a transforming figure to you, then does that mean we can't have any other kind of transformers merchandise?
