I can't make it out if the height is 172mm,182mm, or 192mm? So he'll either be as tall as GX-01R or taller than GX-18, my guess is he'll be a little taller than GX-18 at the top of his head and alot taller at the top of his horns. Of course this means Gaiking will cost quite a bit. My best guess is, he'll be the same height as GX-01R, without the horns.

You think? Well he'll still be the tallest non gattai SOC if you count to the top of his horns ;D.

It is really sad that Bandai isn't releasing Voltes V or Daimos as the next SOC. I feel happy for the Gaiking fan, but I think that Bandai should focus their attention on robots that they haven't had any major release yet. Like for exaple the countless Mazinger Z incarnations/versions, the Mazinger "ladies" etc. I hope that I won't piss off anyone here with this short rant of mine. I gues that I should just be more patient and be happy that at least Bandai released a 3inches Voltes V.

you know the powered up version.. issomething that I really don't remember from the cartoon. but then again.. the last time I watched the series was someting like 13 yrs ago (sigh *** DVD ****WHEN?!!!!) But I do remember all the accessories after that. How did the bulkier Gaiking happen in the fiction?

The powered up version happened about halfway through the series. Gaiking and Daiku Maryu were getting their butts whooped by a bird like mech and they ended up being pretty damaged. They were fighting in space and couldn't get back to Earth for repairs so they found some kind of metal ore on the moon/astoroid and they rebuilt Gaiking with more power and weapons.

Well you can see them in the blue prints, the one on the right is the normal version while the one on the left is the powered up version. The easiest way to tell is by the bigger forearms, lower legs, and the head has larger horns and his face mask does not have vents in the face shield plus his "Counter Cross" is more cross shaped (cross things on his legs).

Chen You are my Hero!!! How do you remember this so well? The last time I really saw the series. I think I was 8 and then it was off air (channel 47 cable 4; since I know you're from ontario too). Man I wish they would hurry up and release that on to dvd!!!
and getter robo G (I still havn't herd of any translated version yet at a decent price and quality). I think you showed me a link before from that Max something. But I'm a little hesitant to pick it up.. since I havn't herd of anyone buying anything from him.

Thanks! I have the series on DVD and usually watch a few episodes once a month or so. Yeah I think that MAX guy is out of business so I'll keep an eye out for someone new. It's just hard if you want subtitled versions (all mine are in Japanese with no subtitles).

Chen where did you get those DVD's? Kind of curious... theres a lot of fansubbers out there. I know of one site that were translating the old getter series. I wonder if I picked up a set.. if anyone would be interested in getting fansubbed.
Are your dvd's.. vcd/laserdisc transfers? or actual dvd?
