Ok guys just some opinions...how do you feel about gimmicks in modern Gokin? Do you like shooting fists?light up eyes? firing missiles?,plastic yellow effects?pseudo firing fist extensions?
I like them as if they were mini versions of the real thing.Effects are fine,flaming shooting fists etc like SRCs have,but not actual firing ones like SRCs have,.Id rather the gimmicks stay with the vintage stuff frankly.
Usually the guys who like shooting stuff also collect vintage..One of the main reasons I dislike gimmicks is it makes for possible broken or distressed springs,battery leakage all sorts of stuff IF not taken care of..
Do you guys keep your fists cocked and loaded on SOCs??Ive heard this can cause distressed springs,But I do it.I dont have them loaded when it involves extras though,for instance on Gx-01Rs base..the extra fists are loose from the springs.Sometimes you can get a fist that doesnt stay locked! all sorts of issues.Missiles same thing.
We now turn to light up gimmicks..BATTERIES!! batteries can leak over time,so really its fun to light up eyes and all but you cant leave batteries in for the long run so its a pain,ALSO windowed eyes without paint can look odd unless they are lit or have a translucent color like red.
Saying this Im all for the SRC and HLPro type fist extensions with plastic fire ,those are cool,dont use them much myself,but i do occasionally.A much better option i feel,more realistic,less toylike
.Also the translucent effects like lightning from Great Maz sword or from Grendys horns for me are very cool,and I do use those time to time also.But not ALL the time.I like my robots holding weapons,but not necessarily effects.
So in the end I guess its,do you like your toys "toylike?" or representative of an actual robot?
Or are you the third party who just use stands and pose in a statue like A pose,as if the robots were in the base unactivated? that is also an option I see.Yet that brings us to even another choice SOC like stand-bases or No stand-bases?
So kids is it Gimmicks or no gimmicks? Or are you split like me?I like some but not others.. lets have your opinions..
