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. I've had mine for about 2 months now from HLJ, and it's still MISB... I am anticipating a move before fall so I am slowly working on just packing up all my other toys and don't really wanna mess with opening up new ones, but with all the praise I hear about this SOC, I am tempted to break it out of it's coffin.... you guys suck!!!

Just picked mine up from my local comic store today. I ordered it through previews and all I can say is I am very impressed with this SOC. Well worth the wait. Very good weight and looks just sweet. Definitely one of my favorites. Mazinger is going to get a run for his money now. Only time will tell if he will prevail or lose to the new kid in the display cabinet. ;D

Then when you open it,you'll love it right AWAY!!!!!Forget the flaws,the leg armor only slips slightly,but it's actually helpful to give GX-27 armor mode more movement. The same case is with the arms to but not as notable as the legs. Plus the leg retraction isn't a problem. Overall you'll love it!

Yes, yes I do love it. It's an amazing toy. So many nearly duplicate parts, but with different details. The stand is WAY badass too. I like that it comes with Gaiking already on it and that it's not a sticker.
His legs do seem a little on the weak side though, do they really just retract that easily, or am I missing something?
Has the Gaiking v. Grendizer question already been posed before? I haven't got the Grendizer yet, but seeing this one makes me think Grendizer should be next. Then the Max Factory Mazinkaiser. I can't remember the release date for the Black Getter as pictured in my avatar - seems like it will take forever.

I just got him yesterday!! It was my first time to pre-order from a local store through Diamond Direct. I think it is worth the wait (1mos. delayed) because i don't have to pay shipping and sometimes the duty taxes. It is just more peace of mind.
Anyhow, I am very impressed by Gaiking. The box alone is quite a surpised for me. I thought that it is going to be the same size as tose of the Mazinger's. The robot looks very cool, and it has lots of accessories to boot. The only problem is that now that I have him...I want to have the Dragon. ;D thumbs up for GX-27.
I will post my updated collection soon.

What is the purpose of part 40? It's a little red, round thing. Is it just a pushing tool?

The little red round thing is for the powered up forearms when then on the regular ones. Just incase there a little tight, take off the fist and use the red thing to help push the extra forearm off.

Great display design,hac. The Gx-27s are a highlight in your collection, and it does serve as a substitute MAX GAOGAIGAR, but with higher quality.

Congrats Clifton. Looks like you have Grendizer too, which do you prefer? Gaiking was number one for me for awhile but Grendizer took the belt back and is still the champ.

Finally,I'm probably the only collector here that thinks GX-27 is the best SOC(so far my favorite)!

Gaiking could be the best SOC, if they didn't miss on the QC. Almost seems like the loose legs retraction, loose head lock, and loose armors can be easily avoided, but Bandai chose not to fix it or too late to fix it after production started. If not for those few flaws, Gaiking would be my favorite! Love the design, and it looks so cool & beautiful, with so many things to play with, yet so solid & simple. If the execution is as good as the design, this will sure be the best SOC so far.

I see Grendizer and Gaiking as "brothers" since there design and look is quite similar (retracting legs, horn heads). I also had the RAH Grendizer, the figure is ok but I much prefer the SOC version. No idea what the G stands for, probably just sounded cool to Nagai.
