same here... i think i like the SOC version better... i guess because it comes with more accessories including that dragon thingy... (i dunno... i don't know much about gaiking, that's why... but it's one of those toys i'm still thinking of getting)...
anyone care to bash me for what i just said? HAHAHA!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

GE-10 is just a low-cost GX-27 ... except for the extra weapons...it doesnt offer anything substantial... 45caliber... Pat said that the HK exclusive item will arrive in about 1 week... not 3 days just got my GE-10 gaiking from PTOYS.. well it's not basically a SOC.. maybe in looks but different in design particularly the legs.. much improve than it's predecessor GX-27.. no more faulty sinking legs but the thigh can only be rotated by 90 degrees with a clicking sound.. so it can only be position in two different angles.. mine is a little bit stiff but i think a few more click and click should do the trick.. less die cast i think but the wapons and accessories are awesome.. it only got 2 sets of hand.. one with closed fist and one open for holding the weapons.. it also got a mouthpiece/cover.. the stand is basically a GX-27's but different racks for the weapons and less with the plastic nameplate instead a sticker.. the shades of the skull are rather lighter than the GX-27.. and oh yes mine had a hongkong item.. a diecast shield according to atrick of PTOYS but it should follow within a day or three... been comtemplating on getting this but today i have no regrets thaty i bought it.. and another thing yen rice on its box was 6800 unmike the ones posted months ago for i think 7160yen as far as i remember...and yes i've got a nearly C10 box.. thanks to patrick of PTOYS for the deal.. pchin and highlander, what time were you in GH? I was with a group of collectors this afternoon... we were there at around 2 PM... we left gh at around 9:30... got a great mazinger stat... unfortunately, i wasnt able to bring it home... bought some macross and sentai stuff... a case of DCD New Frontier... i was afraid that I might damage the stat anyway, hope to catch you next time

It looks good in display but annoying when you try to toy with it (firing mechanism/collapsing legs) price wise is fair but if you have other priorities get it first before this piece. Cheers to everyone. dri1 tnx for the heads up. same problem again with the collapsing leg yay

Thanks for the review dri1. So I'm taking that it's an OK figure and only a must buy if your a Gaiking fan. I might wait awhile and let prices stabilize before I get this.
P.S I would love to see some more comparison shots with GX-27 ;D

aw crap! The collapsing leg is what I disliked about the GX-27. Sigh... now I'm having second thoughts again.

I haven't bought the GX-27 but thinking of getting it soon but all these collapsing leg tales make my heart jump...What is this actually? is this something I should fear? Any1 got a pic to show this "illness"?

It's nothing major just the legs would retract when to much pressure is added or when you trying to pose it. It's more of an annoyance than anything else since the same feature is on GX-04 but with much better results, it could be because there's some major weight in Gaiking's upper body.

I had the GE-10 on preorder, but decided to cancel it recently. I've been watching the new TV series and Gaiking is able to combine with the 3 ships. I wished that Bandai would release a combiner version of Gaiking with all 3 ships + leopard. Otherwise, it looks like the GX-27 with less accessories. I need a styrofoam case though.
