I ordered mine from there. I think he's still available there too.

Anyways, popped open Ginga this afternoon. He's fun.



He comes with a promo flyer for Tiga Multi renewal, which I found interesting (can't remember the last Ultra-Act that came with something other than the instructions).



I haven't had a chance to check out the previous Ginga ep's yet, so this is my first exposure to him outside of pics of the show I've seen here and elsewhere. Not quite "Iron Ultra," but definitely "Armored Ultra" in appearance. The clear sky blue is really pretty and makes him quite striking, especially in comparison to your average Ultra. I do wish he'd come with an extra head where the entire back was light-piped, so that way the clear blue could look that much more impressive.



His shoulder pads are connected to a ball joint on his shoulder piece; if you move the arm/shoulder to far up, it can pop off. Nothing feels delicate though that I'd worry it'd snap and take the ball joint with it one day. Each shoulder pad does have a letter designation to remind you which is "right" and which is "left."




You remove the blue piece on his right forearm to attach one of his effect parts; it's an easy swap, and both the incumbent piece and the effect plug in nice and tight. For whatever reason, I guess you can't do it with the left arm though? Only the right forearm piece is removable on mine.




With the other effect part, I found him harder to balance, not because he's now more top-heavy/off-balance than usual thanks to the effect part itself, but because the waist joint became more loose as I tinkered with him. He's not floppy, but he'll lurch forward a bit at the waist at certain angles, which means he'll tip over with the other effect part added.



Overall, cool figure. Aside from the waist looseness on mine and inability to plug the one effect part onto the left forearm, I do wish he'd come with more hands (just two extra pairs), but it's not a big deal. I do love the blue used on the box though, especially the metallic foil blue; it looks silvery in the pics here, but is much more distinct in-person.
