I'm not really a new member,just a new username that's all.And like I mentioned before, I'm Chogov9(the 14 year old inquisitive toy collector),just with only 1 and not 3 stars.So yes, I sort of needed the welcome.

And the height for the powered up mode is unbelievable.It's about 8 inches right?

He stands 7 1/2 inches to the top of his head and a bit over 8 inches to the top of his horns.
Also I was putting Gaiking next to some other figures and found out that he looks extremly good next to the Black Wing Mazinkaiser. If someone has both could they post a pic since my camera sucks.

Cool!!!!!He may also be one of the tallest SOCs ever made(aside from the gattai SOCs).

One more thing about Image Anime,don't they usually have re-stocks if a new item is sold out?Just asking because there GX-27 GAIKING is already sold out!

you could try www.bigbadtoystore.com, they have it in stock and it's cheaper plus if you live in the States you can get flat shipping for $5.00.

Thanks,Chen;but I'd rather buy it locally than on-line and DANG,these SOCs(GX-27) are selling like hotcakes!

I finally got GX-27!!!!!GX-27 is to my surprise much better than I was expecting it to be.He is pretty posable,much more posable than GX-01R, and has a ton of gimmicks. Transforming it is cool, and the flaws that were mentioned aren't noticable and can be fixed. On my GX-27, the legs don't retract easily, and the leg armor for the upgrade mode does slip,but very slightly. The fists actually shoot far.However on my GX-27, the arm joints to connect the forearms are tight,however because of this,the arms don't get off easily. And that back shredder gimmick is cool,giving GX-27 a "tail".Overall my rating for GX-27 is 9.5/10.

Also forgot to mention about posability details.This is one of the best SOCs to put in poses.And by far the funniest poses. Putting those upgrade hands on normal GAIKING will give him one of the most funniest poses.I was able put GX-27 in a feminine pose,don't look at me I'm too ugly pose,big hands mayor pose,etc.

I am still patiently waiting for mine!! I ordered it through my local comics/collectible store. I guess they order it through Diamond. This is my first time to order stuff from them. To all of you who go this route..does it really take this long? He told me that it will arrive around late July...that is too late don't you think?

Yeah, Gaiking is right up there with the best SOC's. CHOGOv9 the back shredder flips out then you push it up so it's flush, but it is a cool gimick. I don't really play with it just incase I snap it off, I have a feeling it would be a b#tch to fix.

Also when the wing is in back shredder mode,it's sort of difficult to change the back shredder mode to normal mode because there's no lift available and the only lift you can use are the shredder spikes,which I do not want to lift sometimes just to prevent chipping or breaking.
