Anyone try combining this one with the old GX-13 SOC Dancougar? Is it even possible? Gold Did not try, but doubt it will fit. The reason why the sentinel one is able to combine is because of a special adapter/connector that comes with the black wing. The adaptor appears to be specially molded for sentinel dancouga which fits nicely onto its back. I doubt the adaptor will fit the bigger gx-13. The "adaptor" i am talking as shown at the bottom right corner: Actually, quite a smart move from sentinel. If the adaptor is universal and can be used by gx-13, it might cut down on the number of buyers for sentinel dancouga haha

Mecha is right in that it just won't work and soc is also so much bigger that it would look like a grown man wearing a kid's backpack.

hi kuma..great pics as always! will you be doing a video review for both Black Wing and Dancouga? i've held back on purchasing due to size and price, plus i have the SOC version as well. would you recommend them both? Black wing looks great, but for the price plus Dancouga...over $500...not sure.

Been wanting to get this for the longest time. Always felt that it was way too expensive. Got some gift cards and credit at Amazon and was either gonna buy this or the RX-78-2 the Origins GFFMC. But I already have the MG V3 of the RX-78-2 so didn't really want another. Also considered the GFFMC Banshee but again, I have the Unicorn and didn't want what I still considered to be a Recolor. Anyway BlackWing Arrived today. I got the chance to play around with it tonight. Transformed it once into bird mode. Very easy transformation. Didn't break out the stand so I didn't take a picture of the bird mode. Overall, really nice figure with a good amount of die-cast. Main reason I got this is because I love the way it looks. Both Robot mode and Bird mode looks fantastic. Articulation is decent. Would have love to get some swivel on the bird head/arm guard. It gets in the way. The paint apps are nice. QC is excellent although I would like the hip joints, waist joint and shoulder joints to be a little tighter. The joints hold in place for now, but they are primary friction style joints and may loosen up more in the future. Have never seen the Dancouga anime. I know nothing about BlackWing but that doesn't matter much to me.

So I was putting away the latest Black Wing (Real Color) and did some thinking... in my humble opinion this is the best transforming toy that Sentinel has put out. Between the sculpt itself itself, the articulation, materials, and the contained transformation, I don't see anything else they've put out beating it or even close. Hell, I like this design damned near as much as Dancouga itself. Not a lot of love since it's seen more as an add-on to the king but it's damned amazing in its own right. Also... where the Real Color version of Dancouga is a lot more attractive to me, I actually like the regular colored version of Black Wing more. The lighter colors and separation on it let the details shine more overall although I do like the gray wings of the Real Color more.

Been messing around a lot more with Black Wing getting my displays tidied up and it's growing on me. In fact, as an individual toy I like it better than Dancouga. It's just a fantastic sculpt with diecast parts, articulation out of the butt, and a neat transformation/alt. mode. I feel like it really gets overlooked because of the fact that it's a companion to Dancouga but this thing is freaking great.
