Me, I'd gladly bow to this tiranny, if only for this time... Problem is, I can't seem to find it... Does anyone have a spare one or a heads up on where to find it? Thanks a lot... ;D

Bought my Big-O for Christmas, but never opened it until now. I was pleasantly surprised by its quality and finish. Love the paint job and the ratchet joints. While not super stiff, they are strong enough for its size & posing. Its very playable too. Has enough gimmick to be not so plain, but not complex to make it fiddly in anyway. Good size too with decent weight. Its one of the more recent gokin purchase that I truly enjoy. Even pulled out my old Bandai Roger & Dorothy figure (came with the plastic Big O) to display with it. Sweet! And no, I still won't get suckered to buy the add-on parts!

Just got my Big-O yesterday and it looks really great. But It's more like an action figure because it lacks of weapon. For $140, Bandai should have included those weapon parts.

I just started watching the anime. It's kinda good but I don't know if I will continue ordering via netflix (it's cool that netflix has the series). Do you guys like the show? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. It's one of my favorites. I really dig the characters and atmosphere, but then again I'm also a sucker for film noir. The ending is controversial for not putting a pretty bow on everything, but I think it's a pretty interesting finish. How far in are you? Do you have any specific questions?

Hi Cyrano. Thanks for the feedback. I've only seen 4 episodes. I am not blown away so far. But that's how I felt about Gunbuster at first... I loved it after completing the series. I totally dig the ending of Gunbuster. I am really intrigued about the lost of memory in Big O. And the show is making me appreciate my SOC of the robot more.

My local public library has the series on dvd, but they only have the Vol. 1 dvd. No sense in me using up my harddrive space for ripping an incomplete dvd set not knowing if the library will ever acquire the rest of the volumes. It's the same problem with many of their dvd selections. Back on topic, this SOC looks very photogenic (looks good in pictures) when placed in the foreground of some old 1920s steampunk environment... someone did that here just recently, and given the paintjob of this SOC the pics turned out awesome. zozo-Magengar I just started watching the anime. It's kinda good but I don't know if I will continue ordering via netflix (it's cool that netflix has the series). Do you guys like the show? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I like the show of Big-O. Its cool and stylish, and pretty intriguing story. The show overall has good production value. Nothing wow you right off the bat, but very consistantly well executed. The story does get more interesting as you go, but the rest won't be leaps and bounce above the first 4 episodes. So watching the first 4 ep does give you a good look of what the rest of the series is, with just more stories to tell and cooler bots to show. And yeah, the ending is very abstract and hard to follow. Not so much visually abstract like in Evangelion TV. In fact, it has some cool robot action to boot. But it gives you the 'what just happened?' kind of feeling at the very end.
A very good show that deserves a A-/B+ grade from me.

I love Big O and its inevitable that I'll pick this up... But I'm going to wait a little longer because as Gold said Bandai most likely will make a deluxe Big-o with the add on kit included if not I'll be pissed >

So does anyone think this might get reissued with the extra bits? I really am debating on getting this figure, but I doubt the extra parts will be in my budget alone.

I'm not the most in the know by any means, but I haven't heard anything near official about a bundle, just guesses and hopes.
This is probably already obvious from my prior involvement in the thread, but I <3 Big O. Even without the extra parts, he's really nice and I would wholeheartedly recommend him, especially if you're a fan of the design or the show. But that's just my unsolicited two cents.
