Opened mine tonight! Wow, it's really well made. Chen was right, it totally felt like Danguard, but bigger and more fun. I love they include landing gears in all modes. Even the tiny transformable head has like 4 modes and two sets of landing gear! Impressive. The combination with Trider Shuttle was secure and well thought out. Not a whole lot to gripe about. crappy phone pics on chain users:

Maaaan... I really didn't plan to get this at first, but after all the pics and the recommendations... Don't know, maybe I'll do as Actionawesome did and put it in my SOC wishlist with the Iron Gear We'll see.

So here's a more interesting question for the design team that worked on this release of Tryder G7 as it is pretty obvious that the same team that did the Danguard worked on this one. Would they be willing to go back to the drawing board for Danguard and scale the s.o.b up a bit. The engineering is already there, we just need them to add some magic water to make it grow a bit more (like maybe 3" more) and I'd be a happy camper. Don't get me wrong the original release has its merits but its just missing this one final element and they'd would of knocked it out of the park.

Bring on Zambot. ...unfortunately he probably won't be able to pose even half as dynamically as this.

Guys, be very careful when rotating the crest/horns on the transformable head. It's made of very thin and brittle plastic. I snapped one of the horns off while rotating it into the hydrofoil mode. Follow the instructions and don't spread them while putting them into the retracted position. The rear red part of the head lifts up so you can get it into place. Good thing I have some plastic welder and was able to fix it though.

Aside from my mishap, I have to say that I really love this figure! Tons of diecast. Super articulated and transforms into 5 different modes! All the things that make a toy a must buy in my book.

I just took time to unboxed mine : wow. Love the mat grey finish (beware fingers !) Too bad front panels on bassin can be separate part moving like any Gundam or Transformers to give more angle for the legs to bend (bassin axis). Shape is awesome EXCEPT THAT DAMN PEG ON LEFT FOOT !!! The guy is heavy due to diecast and hankle joints are not so tight : they will soon get loose (ratcheting is light). These same joints got only 1 axis : no tilting left-right... Screw hole are well designs and have all a cap : this creates pannel lines and keep design in sci-fi flavor. "Space trailer" is full plastic but shape is great and this is the option part we all need in box for any SOs. Bandai should propose Ships we need for the SOCs instead of Arcadia and Yamato ! C'mon, give us the Battleshark and others ! Edit : wow, shoulders joints are really tight ! I am afraid to break something... Do you have the same issue ?

Yeah, I can confirm the loose ankle joints. I need to balance mine just right or he'll topple over

It's kind of ironic really - he's a lot more stable in a dynamic pose but if you try to pose him more like a brick, yeah, it's a bit of a problem.

BTW no you wont get any replaced anything from AMIAMI they just dont replace to USA customers. Yea, AMIAMI told me that they could only give me store credit for 1000 yen, which is like 10 bucks. The chest crest is all scratched up, looks like someone was rolling it on some hard surface. the gold paint is about 30% gone with center part all messed up. I tried to clean it up a bit and thinking it maybe dust. The right foot also got circle shape paint scratches like a size of half a dime. Other than that basically nothing else is wrong.
