So there's a bit of both show- and toy-based influence in the deco.

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

Looks pretty cool but does anyone know if the sword was featured in anything or is just something they threw in for the heck of it?

Pass...it doesn't transform and looks like one of my Gundam model kits. Either make it transform or stop stealing design cues form other robot lines.

WHAT?! Did you know that Transformers itself exists because it took cues from at least 7 other lines?

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?

Stop

That figure looks like a Gundam. Sorry I think it stinks.

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

I don't see what the issue is with Transformers occasionally having some legitimate action figures on the side of the main stuff, unlike Action Masters which were the main stuff at the time. It not like this thing is taking away from some hypothetical main line transformable "what could have been" figure, what with most of the ones we've gotten in recent years having come from other companies that aren't Hasbro or Takara and that don't produce transforming Transformers toys.

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! :lol:

And those katanas/swords are really out of place I'd grant you that.

I'm perfectly happy with my DX9 kit for Evasion Prime... now that's a nice God Ginrai!

Anyone who wants an updated transforming God Ginrai figure are never going to get one from Art Storm.

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?

Do you have Tourette's or something? :roll:

Dude I know what companies do and non-transformable transformers yada yada yada. Geez man you keep posting responses like I dont know anything about Transfomers I have been collecting since I was 11 in '84. Man please you want to prove your point...here then:
Yes I was so unaware of other companies making non-transformable figures and I just posted randomly because-- oh lawd forgive me I's not know this was not *gasp* not made by Hasbro/Takara

You really should stop now...I get it, the internet gets it. :BANG_HEAD:

But then what is the point of complaining if you know that this company doesnt do transforming toys? You know there are a bunch of products out there for all sorts of collectors, so why do you stop at this one to call it out for it not being the collector's figure it never said it was.

It really does sound exactly as random as you wrote it above.

Again, I have every right to post my opinion. This is why I dislike being on this board because when 5 or more people like a figure and one disseminates you get people like you trying to tell me what I should like and dislike, as if I did not know this was officially licensed 3rd party statue.

So again...imma go back about six posts and state one more time. I do not like the way the figure looks like a Gundam. I do not like the fact they borrowed form another robot line, Gundam, to make the design of Ginrai look so similar to one.

Are we square or is that tick going to make you post again, eh?

If you have a problem with what I said...go get you a mod.

What the internet "gets" is that you are incredibly rude. I don't care how old you are, or how many years you've been collecting - you shouldn't treat people on the boards (or in life) this way.

Shame on you.
