Package design looks good as well! I'm sure this one will make many a happy Chogokin fan.

Man, the normal Gaiking, not upgraded version, looks *really* good. The hands are a little big though. Still, with all of this stuff at this price, it feels like a good deal.

Canceled a preorder I had for something else and preordered another one of these. It just looks too beautiful. This looks like the nicest SOC since Getter Poseidon, but the wealth of accessories remind me more of the GX-01R and GX-02R. GX-01R is my favorite SOC, so that's a good thing- a very good thing. Man, I could look at that picture on page 3 all day long.

Ya know, I get the feeling they decided to cheap out on the hands a bit this time. I had been thinking they were too big before, and I realized what it is- the normal fists seem to have holes in them for holding the counter crosses. It's a shame it won't come with normal tightly clenched fists that most other SOCs come with, but I understand why- if it did, that would be 4 more hands to include. It's nice that it comes with makyuu hands though.

Here are some photos a Japanese guy uploaded over at 2channel. Gaiking's looking nice. Dragon looks kinda bad, as usual. (I wish it had turned out as nice as the Liger and Poseidon)

Nice pics Ataru! Gaiking looks amazing especially in his powered up form plus he looks pretty tall too, my poor Grendizer is gonna' look like a kid next to him ;D. By the way I like the way Dragon looks although he is on the slim side but adding the Mach cape really adds to him.

woah look at that MF! it looks awesome! can't wait!
Ataru sorry to hear you were disapointed in Dragon... I was pretty happy with it except maybe the head being plastic(or off colour).. and forearms being plastic as well

I agree that the mach wing makes the Dragon look quite a bit better, but I can't shake the feeling that Bandai really screwed that SOC up. The lack of volume in the chest and legs, the ultra-thin lines on the legs... It wouldn't bug me so much if I didn't like the original design as much as I do. (the insanely tight forearm connection doesn't help either)
I don't know, maybe it's because I have the original Getter set and I'm so much more satisfied with the Getter 1. It's pretty much perfect except for the red chest piece not being painted.

It may just be me, but although Gaiking looks awsome I'm still thinking the head/chest is maybe 20% to big it completely blocks his crotch area, it makes Gaiking look like he has a potbelly too.

I think Gaiking looks pretty pot-bellied in the original too. I like the size of the skull for the SOC a lot, but it's pretty clear that the color of the skull is much more yellow than it is in the show- it seems like the Daikuumaryuu SOCs got the color more accurately. I guess this color is homage to some of the early gaiking toys more than to the show.

I guess this color is homage to some of the early gaiking toys more than to the show. Gaiking always reminded me of a baseball catcher or umpire in the Anime, if it were me I would have tilted the head in a little at the bottom so it would give him that "pecs" look. But I guess they added that "bite" feature, which I've seen in the Anime maybe once, so it has to stick out a little. I agree with you on the colour of the gold too, if it was a shade darker it would have a much richer look to it.
