LOL. Nice pics. And yes, Gaiking and Mazinger Z definitely are wanted! Looks very cool in that first picture too.
You're saying that it's more prone to fall over in that mode than the other mode? Are you sure that it's not just that you try to put Gaiking in wilder poses in normal mode because it has more range of motion? Anyway, thanks again man!

Nah it's actually because Gaiking has tiny feet compared to his body. It's not too much of a problem if you take your time and pose him carefully.

IMHO the powered up Gaiking with his big forearms and hands looks like a GORILLA!! ;D Of course I will buy it nevertheless..I actually pre-order it through Diamond...I wonder when my local comics store will have it?

"I think the powered up mode makes the upper arms and upper legs look ridiculously skinny and weak, kinda like the upper arms on the 1/48 valkyries- that's the main reason I prefer the normal mode"
Yeah, but the skinny one makes him look like a middle-aged wrestler with a "fat-assed" beer belly like tetsujin ;D
just kidding both versions of gaiking are great this is one superbly executed SOC !!!!

Hehe: How ya' doin' Mazinkaizer? There are three or four of us whinging and whining about terng 3110 over on the "general toy" board. No, I don't have the damn thing yet. After a careful look at his feedback most people have had to wait about six weeks for their shipment. Maybe I'll get lucky, and they'll both get here the same day. JWM

I am doing ok. I have been working my butt off, that is why I have not been here much. I am hoping that I get a very large commission check this month so I can work on my HIFI stereo and buy a soc or two. I have been wanting to get Gaiking pretty bad, but I always try to buy from Tam at Twin Moons Anime. He has been on vacation this past month, so any email sent to him would be useless until he gets back. I don't know if he is gonna get Gaiking or not because Gaiking is not on the Twin Moons site. I like getting stuff from him cause I like to promote the little guy and buy locally when I can, and I trust Tam.
I really hope you get your stuff soon from the ebay seller. There really is no reason at all that an item should take 6 weeks, unless they are custom building it for you.. He may actually be a nice guy that orders the items when he gets payment, therefore not tying up his own money. However that is not really fair to the buyer. We should all pool our resources and have Robot Japan become a distributer for the Bandai SOC line here in the states.
Well buddy I hope Combattler V comes in soon.

For anyone still looking. There is a price difference between the japanese and hk versions. The jap versions cost more. If you see on ebay, the one with the bear sticker is the jap version.

This is probably my first post. I ordered my Gaiking from HLJ and it was back ordered. However, this morning, HLJ list Gaiking as "Discontinued". THis is unbelieveable. One month after release, all gone!!! Well, at least I can still get one from Ebay.

kaichuan: Welcome to the BBS. Did you actually place an order with HLJ? I know they list stuff as 'discontinued' when they have sold their quota. If they took your order, you'll get your Gaiking. JWM

I'M BACK!!!I'm not a newby,it's Chogov9 with a new username. I'll be here for a few hours.Anyway Gaiking is sounding tobe like a really impressive SOC.And it's a good thing the leg armor doesn't completely fall off.But one more thing,is Gaiking worth the money and is it one of the greatest SOCs to be made,or is it just great?Replies,please

It's definitely worth the money if you can get it for around $80.00 since I bet prices will start to go up. For me it's right up there with Grendizer as the best SOC put right now.

WOW,Comparing the GX-27 to GX-04S.But really the leg flaws are just minor right?(Just like the GX-04?)I wasn't expecting the GX-27 to be one of the greatest SOCs to made,but the way you described it made me want to buy 2.But Chen, one more thing, can you put up really clear pics of your Gaiking,please?I can barely see the awesome details of this SOC masterpiece.

The legs are a little fiddly and can get annoying (the legs seem to contract easier than Grendizers) but all the positives more than make up for it, plus I'm a huge Gaiking fan from way back to the Force Five days.
Sorry for the pics but I have a crap camera, there are alot of links at the begining of the thread that have a ton of pictures. Plus theres a thread called "Robotanime" that links to a site that has picks of almost all SOC's.
