There are GE-01 to GE-09, GE-01 is an Aquarion Chogokin. This is the "Chogokin" line, which is why it has the prefix GE. GE-09 is that turtle looking thing from Godzilla, Gamera, GE-07 and GE-08 are both Mask Rider figures.

Thanks for the great review Gold. Judging from the comparison pics, I think I will stick with GX-27, although the GE-10 is cheaper and has new weaponry.
The new one just can't stand to the power-up mode of the classic.

Thanks guys, just to add to what Superfarterv said, the Aquarion is GD-99 but the "Forced Attack type"(Army mass produced model) is the GE-01. BTW Manny the chrome on GX27 is mirror shine while the GE-10 has a "grainy finish" sort of like Gx01R. I mentioned this in the previous post Oh, and just an update, I had my GE-10 exchanged with the store I got it from. The good news is that the "trick knee" isn't present in all the produced units, the new one is ok in both knees now(but unfortunately, there's a little smudge in the chrome on the back part of the thigh.. sigh). So I guess it's hit or miss with the QC problems. Yessh. I hope Bandai gets it's act together when Gunbuster rolls out. Gold

I want them to bring the Stinger, the lion and the others extra weapons ! Perhaps we could start a petition ! asking Bandai to release a GE-10 extra pack for Gaiking !

gaiking, raiking, and bullking combined to form gaiking the great- wow! I thought that mechs name was Vulking, but anyway nice pics Manny, this was a pretty unexpected twist in the series. Now Bandai has to make a weapons pack of Stinger, Kani Tank, ect. plus these two new mechs to form Great Gaiking. I just hope they do they don't combine the fireing fist with the poseable one.

Opened up my GE-10 yesterday. I'm fairly impressed with it. There's something very nice about how much the color of the skull stands out, and those upper teeth not being silver. At the same time, I think it also reaffirmed the coolness of the SOC gaiking to me. The SOC is definately our old classic Gaiking- this one is cool, but it reminds me of the OVA version Mazinger. Its a little too cool. Also, I found that thanks to the legs locking into position after you swivel them to the combined form configuration, this Gaiking's lower body is less posable than the SOC's.
Ya know, it really would be cool if Bandai would do a color variant of the SOC gaiking with the skull being a non-metallic, solid yellow-orange like in the show, with white upper arms and legs. In the meantime I think I'll mess around with swapping parts between the 2 gaikings. I'm thinking new gaiking horns on the old gaiking normal version head, on the new gaiking skull and upper body but with the old gaiking normal arms and hands and the old gaiking normal legs.

Hey guys, there's a video for the combination sequence of Gaiking the Great over on Youtube. Search for "Gaiking the Great" The "Mega Puncher Grinder" sure looks like something out of Mazinkaiser. At least the arms now come back automatically(as oppossed to the original Puncher Grinder where he had to manually pick up his arm ) Gold
