That thing looks slick, love the design of the God Cannon, less enthused about the lack of a second rifle, and utterly confused by the inclusion of a katana.

At least Hasbro didn't charge $100 each for Action Masters.

Action Masters were simplistic kids stuff. This isn't.

can we all agree that, yes theyre TF characters that dont transform. yes its expensive. yes its very niche. can we leave out all the rage involved in those views?

i think super deformed anime stuff is stupid. i dont enter every thread about them and rage about how much i dislike them.

action masters rabble rabble rabble. we get it.

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...

If I had any familiarity with Masterforce at alI I would be all over this. As it stands, it's an awesome figure I wish I could justify buying.

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

I posted these already in the MP Rerelease thread because they feature the new MP-10 Vector Sigma but I think they show how good a figure Alpha Trion is. Since the character doesn't transform anyway the lack of altmode just means they could make the figure as true to the cartoon a possible. I highly recommend him at least and it does make me interested in other figures but I don't see myself getting them. Trion's stand does work great for the Vector Sigma orb itself as a plus.

I wonder when Elita and Arcee are gonna be release? Them first then Ginrai.

So, the first three they make look super cartoon accurate, then their God Ginrai goes into a completely different direction and is all "Super Stylized Super Gundam Hyper Action" like with details on details on detailed details.
That thing is just sick and incredibly awesome.

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.

God Ginrai was the same guy in Victory as he was at the end of Masterforce.

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 don't follow.

No soft chewy "human" Godmaster center.

So? The Transtector was brought to life with the same name and personality as the human who once powered it.

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.

No sword for him in Victory either.

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

I'm totally down for getting Arcee and Elita-1! If they're the same height as Trion, that puts them at the size of the MP cars making them perfect for my collection! If they make an Orion Pax I'll just start mailing them my paychecks directly.

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...

Hmm, that looks pretty nice. I'm digging the Obari-esque proportions a lot, and that photoshop (nice job by the way!) gives me the impression he's gonna look pretty sweet when he's 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.

I'm working on the same exact thing, guess I can stop now XD

A little more than a month ago, pictures of the prototype for Art Storm's EM Gokin God Ginrai had surfaced, and now we have images of the finished product.

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.
