Well, all the black versions are cools, but for me the GX-04B is the best of all and (in my opinion) this one looks better than the GX-04, you know looks evil, dark, incredible. What do you think guys?

GX-05B is the best, you should only have the rights to judge them when u have all of them on hand and feel them all together.

Does it really make an impact on a shelf? i love the gaiking design but people generally complain that gaiking is very small! i have been very close to buyng gx05 a few times! i wish i could see one up close!

I love all of the SOC Gucci's!
If I were to choose, it's a toss up between the GX-04B, and the GX-02B.., but I have to agree with Bigfire though. Black Grendy is the "Shaft" of the SOC world.

GX-04B "He's one bad MO'FO' " ;D! Shut yo mouth... Since the only black SOC I have seen first hand is GX-01B, I can't really say which would be my favorite. However, considering Combattler is my favorite SOC, based on pictures I'll vote for the GX-03B. I really do like all the black repaints though. They're so elegant! ;D

GX-05B is NOT about Gaiking, it is about DAIKO MARYO. Gaiking is just an accessory OK? If you want Gaiking, Bandai is releasing a pure Gaiking figure in the future, maybe GX-27. It really depends on which is ur favorite character, like chen, without any doubt he will pick GX-04B Grendizer, even before he acclaims it, just look at his head icon and u noe how much he loves grendizer. For me, i didnt really watch any former super robot cartoons and my favorite super robot is mazinger. However i think i judge toys fairly since i dont have that many bias about "which robot is better than which". I asked one of my friend about the best blk ver. chogokin that he likes the most when he first saw them all line up together by the pic I've sent him, he said daiko maryo looks the coolest. He neither has any idea wut chogokin is nor ever saw them before. I think his point of view is the fairest.

Yup, you can pretty much guess which one I will pick. But I do own GX-01B and GX-02B also so I'm not blowing smoke out my ass. But I will say next too GX-04B, GX-05B and GX-3B look like the second coolest Black versions out there.

I only have the Combattler V Gucci, so that's my fave...
I tend to go after the anime accurate ones. The only reason I got the GX-03B was because he was going cheap back then. The ironic thing is I recently purchased a used original GX-03 for $60 so I'm happy I have one of each color.

I think his point of view is the fairest. i usually do the same thing. i ask my girlfriend her opinion before buying because she only looks to them in terms of looks. i on the other side i choose them in terms of looks but in a great part i look to the soul of the robot and the kind of feelings and cultural background the robot is associated with. i am both rational and also act by by instinct.

Actually my favorite is the GX-01rb. Simply because it is rare and I had just bit my tongue to buy it. Currently have all of the black versions I think.
I have the following:
GX-01b GX-02b GX-03b GX-04b GX-05b GX-10b GX-01RB
Unless I missed something..... I also heard that the bossrobos black versions are getting to be fairly up there in value now.

My personal vote goes to the Black Grendizer, followed by the Black Great Mazinger, though I would have to agree that the Black Daikyu Maru is lot nicer and has more of a "shelf impact" than the original Gx05. I also agree that the Gx05 should be about the Space Dragon and not the Gaiking itself(I like the fact that the "Dragon" can do pretty much everything the cartoon version can do, except maybe execute the spin attack by itself but that's expected:)) . I'm still looking for the Gx10B. The Gx01rB is a bit out of my price range but I would really like to own one someday:) Gx04B Spacer Gx02B and Gx01B Teamshot Teamshot 2 Gx03B Gx05B Gold

Hi Fugly, The Gx05R is the one in the middle in the last pic. Generally, it's a darker repaint, plus new chrome paints instead of silver on Gaiking's arms and thighs. The mini vehicles(Skylar et al.) are now in slightly metallic finish. The overall paint finish is also nicer than the original Gx05(my Gx05 had a lot of rough paint edges when you open up the the Dragon's body to reveal the launch pad. The Gaiking still is a problem to combine but to a lesser extent(strangely enough the Black Gaiking combines perfectly). I'm not sure if the Gx05R is still made in Thailand(the original Gx05 was the first and last SOC to be made out of Thailand I think). I got my Gx05R when a shop here had a sale, but I think if you already have a Gx05, you can pass on the Gx05R(unless you're planning to complete every SOC). But if you don't have either the of the two, then get the Gx05R due to the better paint finish. Thanks Amuro:) I don't know why but the black versions come out prettier in the photos than the colored ones, I guess it must be the matt finish on the blacks. Gold
