Figure Review: POSE+ METAL GOSHOGUN
Produce Name: Sengoku Majin Goshogun
Manufacturer: Pose+
Distributed by: ArtStorm
Release Date: Jan 2020
Price: 35,000 yen
+Sculpt & Painting: The paint apps on the figure is vivid and the eyes are the best part of it. Its really accurate to the source material. The figure also got the size (27cm) and the weight to go with it since it's loaded with diecast. Its not super heavy but it has some good heft to it. The face sculpt is just so beautiful, I was kinda feeling down because they didn’t use LED in the eyes but after seeing the paint they used for the eyes. In person I didn’t feel like I need LEDs in the eyes, they just glow perfectly. So lets talk about TriStar, its doesn’t feel like an accessory any more it’s a figure on its own, it have some really cool details to and wide range of articulation.
+Articulation & Posing: The figure took every pose I tried with no problems. The figure is highly articulated, with lots of clicky joints. Goshogun have rubber in the feet to help make the figure more stable when doing dynamic poses, this is a really smart idea since it helped me a lot during my photography, the figure could do a high kick pose with 0 problems, for a figure of this size its really stunning.
Speaking of the feet there is a huge joint to help extend the figure overall height by 1 and half cm but that is not the main purpose of that joint, it really help with dynamic pose general and it really helps getting that extra tick to get a really good pose of the figure.
+Gimmicks & Accessories: I got everything I needed in terms of accessories. The figure have a very bright set when you attached the Go Flasher effect there is also a clear yellow plastic in the chest compartment to allow some light in it.
The legs compartments could be pulled out a little which is a really nice feature in my opinion, there is a part in the chest compartment that extend when you open the chest as well.
Things you need to be careful with while handling the figure
The back bag (blue part you need to attach to the back)
You need to be careful and patient you cant just force in into the back or you will end up scratching it, ones you align it, it will go smoothly.
While combining TriStar, there is a part that you need to align as well (head & arms to the mid-section).
While using the sword or the axe be careful not to force it or you might damage the paint in both the fist and the handles.
While handling the weapons sword and axe use a glove or have a microfiber cloth near by. While I was taken photo I accidentally drop the figure 2 times lol, first time my back drop felt on the figure and it fell off on its back but thankfully nothing happen, the second time while I was trying to attached the Go Flasher it felt off on it face, luckily nothing happen, this is one of the main reason I love ArtStrom the durability in those recent release is insane even some of the old releases.

I also love the attention to details, TriStar got its own movable armor skirt, a joint in the feet, AND waist swivel so it can do some decent poses a huge improvement over the CMs TriStar figure.
+What I like about this figure is:
1. it’s really a quality piece
2. for its size it’s a very solid figure
3. the paint they give the eyes is amazing
4. highly articulated
5. LEDs are strong and its really a nice touch
6. a lot of clicky joints
7. the high attention to details

+Things I wish they did:
1. Bigger LEDs switch.
2. LEDs in the legs compartments.
3. I wish if they didn’t use matte for the fist, it looks good but I'm not sure about the durability while using weapons.
+Conclusion: This is the best Goshogun you can buy, but a honorable mention goes to the CM's Corp Brave Gokin 08 Goshogun. It’s a bit expensive but hey at least you get what you paid for, its not over priced in my opinion. For me this is toy of the year, and I highly recommend getting it, if you can get it.
