Just got mine today -I agree he isn’t as impressive a figure as Voltes, but I think that’s more do to the robots design not so much Bandai’s fault. His armor sticks out in a lot more places causing it to restrict movement unless you fiddle with it and move pieces to the side. The waist armor pops off too easily. I don’t mess too much with the accessories but I see its a pain to attach things to the hands. Also it seems to have the same actual weight as voltes, but because there is a lot more plastic armor sticking out he has less ‘heft’ I really like these FA figures - my son and I have fun making them do all the poses from the shows My only complaint with the FA line in general is lack of a color manual with all the nice artwork like the DC line and voltron had I’m happy with my purchase though - no QC issues I could see BTW we have been watching the show in anticipation of getting the figure, and I definitely recommend it. Great art - lots of battles. The copy I found is in Italian with no subs, but its not too hard to follow - it’s like a “sexier” voltes lol Can’t wait to get Daimos in a few weeks and complete the trio Yours doesn’t have marks on the arms?!

“Yours doesn’t have marks on the arms?!”
I don’t use FB so I didn’t see the pics of yours - but yes now that I look there is a little bubble of silver on the outer left bicep. I will admit I am more of a casual collector so that kind of thing doesn’t bother me as much - When I mentioned ‘no QC issues’ I guess I meant nothing broken or missing, or a glaring paint error like some of the monsterarts, but I see your frustration its an expensive figure and others in the same line don’t have those issues.

Hi everyone, here's my better late than never review for the Soul of Chogokin Gx-82 Full Action Muteki Kojin Daitarn 3. Opening Credits Daitarn, Come Here!Daitarn 3! Daitarn 3 is piloted by Haran Banjo. The premise of the TV show was "what if James Bond was a teenager, piloted his own Super Robot, and basically came from another planet?" Yeah, that about sums it up, no joke. Daitarn 3’s/ Haran Banjo’s famous opening speech everytime he starts a battle with a Megaborg: “For Earth, for all mankind, Daitarn 3 will crush the evil ambitions of the Meganoids! If you don’t fear the shine of this sun, come at me!”Optional "open mouth" face plate. While on the topic of face plates, wouldn't it be something if they included the silly face plates like these from the show (Daitarn got "drunk" in one episode and would not follow Banjo's commands despite lacking any sentience or A.I., a classic example of the silliness of the show). Daitarn 3's WeaponsDaitarn FanThe fans were used as both melee weapons and as a shield to deflect attacks. In the show they could be combined to form a larger shield, but that feature is not included here. Daitarn ZambaDaitarn JavelinSimilar to the Daitarn Fan and Daitarn Zamba, the Daitarn Javelin ejects from Daitarn's knees. Daitarn 3’s finishing move: Borrowing the power of the sun! Sure kill attack! SUN ATTACK!DAITARN CRASH!!!Display base There are two adapters used for the display base arm, both must be used in order to attach Daitarn to the base. Comparison with the Gx-53 Daitarn 3 Comparison with the Gx-65 Daitarn 3 R The Good-Daitarn weighs 283 Grams and stands roughly 7.5 inches tall (counting the tip of his horns). Gx-53 Daitarn 3 weighs 933 Grams. -Diecast parts include: --Main joints --Upper Torso --Legs --Feet -Beautifully sculpted proportions and details. -Lots of accessories and weapons and various hands for added expressive effect. -Super poseable and is a lot of fun to handle The Bad-Non-transforming (but I think we're all aware of this). -No Mach Patrol? That would've been a nice bonus. -Lacking a LOT of weapons (Daitarn Hammer, Daitarn Snapper, "combined" fan shield) -Display base connection has reverted back to how it was with Full Action Voltes V. After the impressive showing and functionality of the new display base arm of the Gx-81 Zambo Ace, I was really hoping that would be the new norm. Alas... -Again, same with FA Voltes, No ratchet joints, I guess that's going to be a standard for the entire Full Action series. The UglyThere are some markings left on Daitarn where the sprue was cut from the mold. It's somewhat annoying to see and ruins the aesthetics a bit. There were no such markings on the FA Voltes. This seems to be a general issue on all FA Daitarns and not an isolated case, sad to say. Overall, a very nice piece. It's fun to handle, and it poses really well and it catches the eye on any shelf thanks to the bright colors of the silver parts on the figure. For me, this guy outshines the FA Voltes in terms of shelf presence due to the brighter colors and the more visible eyes and face. Funfact Despite being written by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino (aka "Kill 'Em All Tomino) none of the main protagonist die in this series (unlike how it was a year before with heavy protagonist casualties in Zambot 3). That said, the series still does end on a slightly bitter note, with all of Banjo's crew leaving him for whatever reason all of a sudden. Gold

I'm not a big Daitarn fan myself, but I think this guy was pretty decent. Not excellent but better than what I was expecting. thanks Gold … as usual now I want to get one Thanks Chogokinabdul, you're welcome...? Hehe Gold

I was quite happy with how the FA for Combattler V and Voltes V turned out. I was planning on getting the Daitarn 3 FA until I realized how small the height and scale was, Gold's photo above really sealed it for me. I'd like to get a large size Daitarn to tower over some of my other figures, preferably a figure around 12" but the only one I'm aware of is the SOC line. For those who have the SOC GX-53 / GX-65 how much of a difference do you notice between the movement, articulation and ability to standup without support in the FA vs the SOC?
My Son will also be playing with it eventually, which is why I was leaning towards the FA, but I'm very disappointed the FA for both Daitarn 3 and Ideon are so short.
