Do you plan on transforming it with your feet? It looks like rather straight-forward to me. The front of the car collapses to make the cockpit so there isn't any transformation required for the driver area, the hood and front bumper unfold to make the legs in what looks like about two steps, and the side doors swing back to reveal the arms. I stand by my statement, there's nothing here that's any more complex than what I could get in a $15 transformer (I was being generous when I said Leader class, and that's coming from a guy who prefers Sentai mecha). Does it look nice? Very! Would I like to have it? Yes. I'd love to support Bandai so that they'd hopefully make more mecha in the Figuarts line, but the truth is that there is absolutely NOTHING here that would warrant a near $500 price tag. To each his own I suppose.

$470 too spicey of a meatball to swallow? Probably :lol. Just give it a few weeks on AmiAmi, it'll hit a DAT PRICE clearance.

Ah, haha, well then my apologies. I guess my opinion still stands, just not directed toward Sentai, lol. *Goes to edit post*

That is IDIOTIC. Look at all those small parts! Just from one picture I'm seeing atleast 60 things that could break during ONE transformation!

Bandai, stop forcing yourself on my wallet before I call the police! I don't remember dropping soap!

But 500+ is still a tough pill to swallow...I wonder how big this thing's box is gonna be...?

I think the pricetag is up because of the trademark, since it's the first (That I know of) Figuarts to use something 'real' like the Prius.

I'd like to think that for 500$, and the fact that Soul of Chogokin is co-producing this, there's probably going to be SOME die cast reinforcing the joints

I want to support this initial mech release in SHFiguarts so that we can hopefully get more down the road.
