Man...this improvement/marketing/insatiable-fan-demand/recolour things sucks... Our Dan' is a terror in the shelf. Put it alone, it takes space. Put it with the other....you only see him, others demoted into "just"a figure instead of their original glory. Die-cast heavy, (almost) perfect (complicated yet chalenging) transformation, posable, durable (survive falling from my desk..twice)..what else can you ask for? Then..few years later, the company reissue it for for a (*cough* rip off *cough*) $$$ and add nothing but an altered paint? No nononononono.... nonononoono Blame me, for I'm not a purist. *WHACK-PIFF-POW* (insert sound effect me being thrown and bullied by the purist in these forum) LOL different people have different things that they prefer but again IMO, dancouga is already good as it is.

soc robots have always plastic in them. starting from GX-01 to GX-31, including the renewal and black versions. tis just the way these things are so what's the big fuss? if you know they will have plastic, why get em and grieve?

I quite agree with Manny. Dricks, if you don't like your Danny anymore, just send it to me! I will take real good care of him, so you don't have to use him for target practice!

Hello, maybe im late about this, just to help/share you guys, the 2006 reissue of Dancouga is here.... From my newsletter (BBTS): SOUL OF CHOGOKIN - GX-13 DANCOUGA: Bandai has decided to finally do another production run of this intricate and popular figure. Preorders have been opened at $219.99 www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN10012&mode=retailOctober baby! But expect some delays, hehe. I guess the price is not bad eh. I ope there will be an improvement, at least.

thanks for the link.. that's what i call "DROOLING" and yes it was a pretty decent price for the three black socs.. you can have the GX-04B here for 10K or less.. the 01B might be 4K or less wasn't sure but the 02B might be at the 6K range here
