Fewture ExGokin ENERGER 1969

Just announced from Fewture , Energer 1969 will join the ranks of the EXGokin series.
Frankly speaking, I am not very excited at this release though. Although the ExGokin range is a great line, its come to a point where i wish Fewture had some other liceases to make rather then just Mazingers..

But anyways, this mecha doesn't look too bad. I like the gold trimming. The articulated bike ramp on its back is ok.

Overall, it feels and looks like the other mazinger releases and I just can't get excited about it. This plus the lack of accessories (it only comes with 4 hands, stand and small bike) means I'll probably save the 300 dollars for something else.

Specifications
Material:Die-Cast, PVC , ABS , POM
Height:23cm
Expected Release date: March 2011
RRSP: 19,800Yen (~SGD$310)

Fewture EX Gokin Getter Robot - Getter 2 repaint Ver

The Fewture Getter 2 repaint version has been released in Japan and already in the hands of some lucky folks in Hong Kong.

I must say the actual product looks better than I expected. I was never a fan of the getter 2 mecha design but Fewture has done well to make this version not like the hamburger on slits that Aoshima came out with.

Only downside is that there have been reports of QC issues such as tight joints/fist, and some received theirs with two right fists. I do recommend that you open it up to check if you do get one.

Overall not a bad piece to get and price for Fewture's stuff more often then not skyrockets anyway.

Great Shot of Getter 1 & 2

Mecha Update Consolidated July 2009

Heres a consolidated update on various mecha from various companies recently. Some of the pics are of mecha featured at the recent WonderFest 09. Lots of interesting designs to suit most collector's taste, ranging from plastic kits, resin, gokin to pvc figures. Prices also range from affordable to wallet burning...

So look through and pick the ones you like. :)

Fewture

These are some preview pics of Baikanfu from the Fewture EX Gokin Series of SD Mecha. The 3rd pic shows the upcoming lineup for the series. Looks promising with Dancougar, Lightan and Gordian.

Wave Corporation

The following pics are of PVCs of Panzer World Galient's mecha from Wave Corporation. Very nice I would say. First 2 should be fixed pose and the last one Tetsukyojin is actually articulated. the prices for these are way high...
1/48 Patlabor mecha HellDiver. Also from Wave. Plastic

MaxFactory

This next pic if of a poster from Wonderfest 09 of a new mecha to be released by MaxFactory. FullMetal Demon Muramas. Should be diecast. MaxFactory mecha are normally Great, IF they every get released (think re-issue of Mazinkaiser and Big-O.... )
Still on MaxFactory, we have pics of Dragonar 1 from MaxFactory. This piece is highly anticipated by many gokin collectors (including myself). Should reach our greedy hands soon. Extensively covered before..

MegaHouse

These are actually from MegaHouse of the SAC Tachikoma from Ghost In The Shell. The Tachikoma actually moves :) batteries? Wind up? dunno.
Also from Megahouse, we have the SRW deformed robots (Alteisen &Weibritter). This was covered earlier HERE. These pics are from WF 09. ALL Plastic.. no diecast content.. expensive...

Five Star Stories

Next are the very nicely designed but horribly expensive resin mecha from Five Star Stories. I love the mecha designs.. but they are just too $$$

Kotobukiya

Kotobukiya : Frame Arms. These are model kits with internal movable frames. I'am just too lazy to make model kits. I like my mecha like I like my pizza delivery, ready to be savoured right out of the package :P

rom Alter Mechanical Model Collection, mecha from Linebarrel and the anime Full Metal Panic (love the anime). All plastic. :(

CM's Corp

Next we have sneak peaks at CM's Corp New Chogokin that they plan to release. Form the pics you can see the Neo getter Trio and then the Gaiking Trio.. Oooo.. can't wait for the gaikings. Hope they can combine to form Great Gaiking...

Volks

N.E.X.T series: Mecha Action figure by Volks. Very nice and highly detailed. Quite pricey if I am not mistaken

Bandai

Bandai Soul Spec: Space Knight Tekkaman Blade. One word.. FAT...

Aoshima

Aoshima 1/48 FMP TSR M9 Gernsback 'Sagara Sousuke' Ver.
