The ab crunch is sooo impressive, bending forward 90 degrees or more, then when looking from the back....man, Zambot just self destruct doing that bend. Figure does look good, as long as you are not showing those joints.

Please Take your time. your work is way more important then my old curiosity.
it takes me a whole week just to get the figure out, then takes me another WHOLE day to play "test" it. FINALLY then another day to write my wall of text "review."

Had a few minutes to check this guy out. Looks like die cast is inside like a metal build figure except for the red breast plate which looks to be the only diecast in the outside. The posability on this thing is insane! I hate that the yellow chest piece and backpack like to pop off a lot but that may be just my copy. I’m probably not going to buy any more of the FA line after Combattler V because if you think about it, these are just really higher end SRC’s not that I have anything against them, they’re just not for me.

just got the figure, and my first impression
finally they gave us a decent colored booklet with decent photos in it
the figure is nicely sculpted BUT its not as awesome as Daimos
these stupid people gave it an all plastic shoulder joints (Daimos had some diecast in it)
the closed fists look really really stupid (it have some kinda of closed triangle on it) i kid you not
the is an annoying gap in the upper section (chest area) it gives the figure the annoying hovering looks
so far i still think Daimos is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better over all
i will give you more details and include photos when i review this figure, sadly i have no time to do anything lately

alright i just finished my photography for this figure and here is my final thoughts
first, im kinda sure this figure is done by the same 1 brain cell team who did Daitarn 3, however this time catch is parts will be falling like rain, the yellow wing on his back will fall, the hip armor will fall the jet pack parts will fall (it wont fall as a one piece nope parts and it have 3 parts), think about Fewture Getter 1 now multiply it by 10
i noticed some tiny scratches here and there but this time its manged to reach the accessories (i think we should get used of Bandai QC issue by now and they are not half as good as they were)
the chest joints are really really annoying im not sure, is it a new joint system ? i didnt have half of the trouble with any FA figure before but this one chest joint was really really annoying
the closed fist (the one that the figure comes with) are not actually closed, the have this triangle shape in them (Zambot 3 must have an architectural engineering class)
the weapons and how to put them are really annoying, not as smooth as other FAs
plastic shoulder joints and every time you move it, it make this "im gonna break" sound
i think the team who did this want you to understand that the FA doesn't stand for Full Action, but it stands for F""""ng Annoying
it just lost the goal of what t should do, you know a FA figure should be fun to play with and fun to photograph however i didnt have any fun taking photos of this guy, unlike Daimos and Volts v
so why you want to buy this figure ?
you dont want to pay alot of the old GX-23 (im not saying its cheap but im sure its cheaper than the GX-23)
it have beautiful sculpt
you want to complete your FA line
you are a hardcore Zambot 3 fan
for me i dont recommend it, gotta be honest, its just not there, so far best FA figure is Daimos then comes Voltes, this figure along with Daitarn 3 are the worst
i just hope they dont f**k up Combattler V

thanks for sharing bro, mine sound more like an old rusted door lol
i swear i was a hair away from bringing out Daimos and make it beat the hell out of this, but it wasn't worth it
seriously tho, the price of the GX84 is the same as the others FA but it have some short cuts here and there, so why the price isnt lower,
Bandai really need to reconsider this, and come up with a better market strategy
at the end why we buy SOCs ?
quality
awesome engineering and a QC free product
lately i dont feel im getting this from them

To me, a loud squeaky sound is a hallmark of cheap.
Cheap material, cheap engineering....it just sounds cheap! It literally sounds like its saying "cheap!" "CHEEAP~!"
Any door or any joint on anything that sounds like that you'd know its cheap.....car doors, house doors, floor joints, toy joints...
WTH is it doing on SOC? SMH....
