Always enjoy Charles' review. Thank you!. I do have couple of questions. Any clickies on this figure? Also, not including the joint, are any part of the actual foot metal? Thank you in advance! Yes, FA Voltron would be INSANELY popular...."but " WEP. I'm eagerly waiting on FA Zambot. Any bro know the release date on FA Zambot? No clicky ratchet joints at all for this piece. In fact if my memory serves me right, all 3 FAs so far don’t have clicky joints. The entire foot is metal.

No wonder Bandai dropped $100 plus SRCs.... Thanks for the pics and reporting in. Glad the figure is awesome. Any clickies? Any metal on his feet? Any QC issue of any sort? None so far, joints are tight, feet are die cast, quite a good heft on it...
No issues on the paint on my one. Great figure, obviously would love to see a translucent plastic on the cab + wheel details on the legs.

Thank you TJ.
Yeah So happy to hear feet are metal. Anyone else want FA God Mars and FA God Sigma! ( though I love my SRC GodSigma, many bros don’t like the size....)

Got this and Daitatn in the other day. Haven’t had much of a chance to screw with them, but right out of the box they are really nice. Love this line. It’s everything SRC wasn’t.

Got my first F.A , heavier than expected, a little small but the level of articulation is far above SOC GX-43, joints are tight too... For someone like me with space constraint issue, this small guy is a perfect addition to my toy collection. Overall , I am quite happy with this purchase.

my first thoughts, Daimos is just EPIC by light years its the best FA figure in the line
Daitarn 3 was also good but i hardly played with it

thanks bro
i cant rank the other two yet since i didnt handle them properly it wont be fair
just wait till the weekend and i will give you my honest opinion
i also was going to skip Daitarn 3 since i have 0 info about the character and 0 interest in watching the show, but i like taken photos, and Voltes V was ton of fun, i spent a good 10 - 20 min just posing it with the Chodenji Goma, so i thought Daitarn 3 might be fun as well lol
i hope im right on this one lol

hello guys, well today i manged to fake my own death so i can play with Daimos lol worked fine for a while but it didnt last sadly
after that awful joke here is my thoughts about the BEST FA figure so far
the cons first
i think the side (skirt) armors are not detachable like GX-79 Voltes v the front red ones start to show some pressure marks not sure if they are on a ball joint or fixed (didnt want to risk it)
i feel somehow Bandai got extremely cheap with Daimos since this figure lack couple of key details in the robots, first the treads on the back of his legs are not there
but Voltes v have treads on his back ! so why they skipped it here ? also no treads (wheels) on the back of his head
speaking of the head, it got limited articulation because of the helmet (the only part that didnt move like i wanted)
these two points about the FA line in general
attaching the weapons could be tricky, by this point i really wonder why Bandai dont have a fixed fists on the weapons so we just swap fists that already have the weapons attached to them, it wont cost a thing in the production plus it will save alot of time, i wish the figure was a hair bigger than this
pros
nice vivid paint (tho mine have some scratch here and there also bubbles) maybe just my unit
cool weapons specially the Souryuu Ken and Battle Break just wow
the articulation on this figure is super good, Daimos deserve this we finally got a Daimos that can do every pose in the show
the double elbow joints are insanely strong (tight) on my unit, i used alot of force to wake the joint lol but i didnt need it that much in posing since the articulation is superb
finally after 11 long years we got a 2nd Daimos, can you believe this is the 2nd modern version in market, and its by Bandai again, i wish other companies will do a take on him, fewture ? please lol
i took about 200 photos for this guy, i wish i could took even more but my cover was blown so i had to stop lol
here is some of the photos i took, i will share the rest after i finish editing them
let the record shows that i did this pose first
with his Karate buddy
Double Harken pose
lastly i really love this figure and i recommend getting it, i also hope we get a new SOC for Daimos
this is the best FA figure so far, i didnt play with the GX-82 so i cant put it in the list yet, but the GX-83 is much better than the GX-79

Good that I didn't pass on this one then. I really need a more articulated Daimos. The original SOC didn't serve me well enough.
