Third Party company Fans Hobby have updated their Facebook account with our first images of their upcoming MB-06D Orange Power Baser (Fire Guts Ginrai).
We have a very impressive orange redeco of MB-06 Power Baser, which resemble the colors of the G1 Fire Guts God Ginrai which was a E-Hobby exclusive while back in 2002 in Japan. We sill have no price or release date at the moment, but according to the Fans Hobby pre-orders are coming soon in a few weeks.
You can check out the mirrored images on this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

In the end I decided I didn't care enough to make a decision, but honestly I think almost all (maybe even all) Combiner Wars combiners look better than MPG Raiden, even without the advantage of a Commander torso.

As of now, Ginrai does look screen accurate.
With raiden, it looks nothing like the show, is unstable, and each components go over the hundred dollar mark. We’ve recently had a Menasuar that, while having compromises, still looked way better.
Curium
I have complaints about Ginrai as a "Masterpiece", but I have no doubt it will be significantly better than Raiden.
TheLastBlade
Raiden was a freaking misfire since the first images of one part was shown. At least Ginrai is more convincing of a good toy.

Such a gorgeous figure.
Hope they eventually do him in Ultra Magnus colours too.

Deservedly so. It's in my Top 3 Third Party podium together with Carnifex and… no third place yet.

Fans Hobby has made Soooo much scratch of this mold and its variants…..

Another fabulous set of photos of PowerBaser – bravo, well done buddy! Do many of you fold down those ankle panels in combined mode – like in these pics? Having never read the instructions, I don’t know if that’s what’s expected. I just refer back to the pics on the back of the box which shows them upright. If that makes sense?
P.S. when I say ankle panels, I really mean the heels on the feet of combined mode!
Sigmalock
Doubly so, when you factor in the Bomber combo:

Yeah, it's genuinely hard to see how the base Ginrai costs nearly as much as Brawl. I mean, when you think about it, how does it cost almost exactly half of the full Super Ginrai package, despite the trailer being larger and having way more accessories?
Curium
I don't like the look of MPM Brawl, same with the overwhelming majority of live action designs, but I can clearly see so much more "love" that went into making him compared to MP Ginrai.

I don’t think anything quite showed this off better than yesterday’s MP reveal.
These two are both official and cost nearly identical, being only $5 apart.

And one is very much larger and more complex than the other, along with more accessories.
Dodgy Dan
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw the MPG version. The whole thing feels like an exercise in cutting size, quality and production costs while keeping the price tag the same.
Curium
Exactly why I haven't posted there. I did end up posting in the Raiden thread due to how short Raiden is next to MP Rodimus Prime, but for the most part I avoid the 1P threads. They just aren't worth the time.
