everything about it, other than the sculpt, it should not even be in the soc line. lots of plastic, very light weight figure, with huge biceps that don't look good at all!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with boricua, the GX-49 sucks. When I got mine upon it being released and at full retail price from HLJ I just put the box away without even taking it out of it. I even got the GX-49G thinking it would look cool next to the GX-49. Well, one day I decided to take out the GX-49 and fiddle with it - oh man, how disappointed I was! So much that I decided to permanently leave it in fist mode (which kind of sucks too). Yeah, I have to say the GX-49 is a huge fail... }D

Totally agree with you one this one. I too only have it in fist mode. This was one regrettable purchase for me and a lame duck for Bandai. It will be the first one to get boxed back up when I need room in my display.

I think that's the problem it's just a average toy while most SOC's are above average. So when you have a line as well regarded as the SOC line is when a toy just turns out to be nothing special it sticks out like a sore thumb plus it doesn't help the price doesn't match it's execution.

Xabungle is not bad, just perfectly made to its 1/144 scale (small figure). The other SOC that IMO fall right next to the GX-49 in the lame execution category is the SOC Reideen. They both could've been amazing figures, but Bandai made them expensive, unimpressive, and lame instead...

Chen sums it up for me. I wouldn't say I hate it as so much as it didn't live up to my expectations. It was overpriced when it came out and compared to the rest of the line it falls short. When I look at all the great SOC Mazingers that Bandai has made, this is my least favorite. Cool concept, poor execution.

No way, its worse than xabungle aka GX-28 as far as I'm concern. I got a defective one with the plastic connector attaching the leg to the hip crumbled on the 1st transformation....and I just never really warmed up to the actual character. I actually like the GX-49, and keep it in fst mode as well, its a different/ interesting take on Mazinger's rocket punch. I think if Bandai made the legs diecast it would've had a hard time balancing itself on its stand in fist mode. If I was to choose between Gx-45 & 49 I'd take 49 because 45 is pretty much a downgraded "shrunken" GX-01/(R) whereas 49 has that whole fist action going making for an interesting mazinger variant. I did get mine for about $50 on sale, so that's probably why I'm not as bitter about it.

Lol battle damaged limited edition, i dong think i can afford such a rare item.
All jokes aside if you threw it againt the wall numerous times and all it has is some scratches then i must say the quality isnt bad, but it must be tested, throw your gx 1R against the wall to see how they compare, and be sure to post what happened, we are going to settle this once and for all.
Lol
