still think this was a waste of spot, now we have two same figures holding two spots unnecessary. they should just called this one just GX-53R instead of GX-65.

To be honest, I think it is a missed opportunity, this new Daitarn 3's arms and legs should have been white color. Then it would be closer to anime accurate. Great point! Many people forget that the very first release of the vintage DX Daitarn 3 by Clover was a white leg version - and it looks great. Later releases were changed to standard silver (metal) legs, and the Sunrise Taiwan versions of the same toy also had the silver legs.

Ordered one as well from Amiami. Maybe the repaint will make me like it better. Checked most Japanese retailers and all the final prices including shipping come out to about $240+ bucks no matter who I order from.

Ok got mine today,looks great,but..for some reason the forarms on my original are tighter in robot mode,the new ones seem to have a tiny bit more play.Doesnt matter really just an observation and probably just my specimen,not noticeable enough to be a flaw..He looks great!! The stand is basically useless if you want to stand Daitarn on it..Its like standing Godmars on Mazinger GX-01 stand! Big robot on a small stand!

I might be wrong, but I though that the stand is for the accessories. As shown on the promotional picture here:

Ah, OK. Anyway, I am more excited about Giant Gorg. Stupid question regarding Giant Gorg, since I did not open the box yet, are the batteries located in the head?

Baron, so is the blue the same as the promotional photos? Or is the final blue different?

blue on chest is a solid non metallic medium sky blue,the metallic blue is VERY VERY close to teh original almost no difference,maybe a shade different that is IT!Only new things your getting colorwise is head crest,head and chest!!
That crazy lit up metallic blue in press photos is FALSE ADVERTISING!! It is almost not even noticeable side by side!! Forgot to add that,but the new blue on chest and gold crest make toy pop more,I wouldnt warrant buying the new one if you have teh old one BUT between teh two teh new one is nicer.

Thanks for clarifying. This is actually good news for me. While I originally wanted that metallic blue at first, watching the cartoon has totally made me want the original colors more. I missed out on the original release, so this will make up for it.

The coupons and deals thread just had a note that amazon pre-order price for this is now $200.

I'm kind of glad I got the original now. You think you will do a side by side shot? I still can't get over the head crest...sticks out like a sore thumb. I don't know why they didn't make all the yellow bits chromed...

That crazy lit up metallic blue in press photos is FALSE ADVERTISING!! It is almost not even noticeable side by side!! It's all about the lighting, man. The Italian gallery shows photos under what is clearly different lighting and it actually does look like the metallic blue in the other ones. Maybe it's a new finish or something, I dunno. EDIT: And speaking of galleries, here's another one.I don't know why they didn't make all the yellow bits chromed... Because that would look gaudy. I'm guessing they only chromed it so it would match the chest emblem on Trider better. Apparently the upcoming Zambot 3 repaint will have a gold chromed crest too.

The Zambot you can get the gold crest with the small robot variation already,so no brainer I guess for them.Im done with SOC repaints though,not really worth it.

I don't recall that a recolor for zambot was announced! zambot needs retooling not recolor

That's because it hasn't been announced - but a version of it with a gold chromed crest was displayed along with Daitarn and Trider, so I'm pretty positive he'll be coming down the line.
