1.King Joe is a combiner Robot: e.g. Combattler V, Voltes V , Getter Robo, Getter Robo G 2.King Joe is a classic Robot that kicked the teeth off Ultra-seven to a point of U7 wanting to quit the ultr game altogether. Read: respect. 3.King Joe amongst many Japanese and some non-japanese is a classic favorite, okay, a bit like #2 but, yeah. 4.If you have the Ultragokin U7, now you have a baddie, one heck of a baddie at that, oh BTW, the King Joe Vinyl is one heck of a seller, Bandai is banking on it.
The fact is, we are not going to like all of the SOC's they release, but they will be liked by some. Boss Borot to me was a waste of zinc, but I got it for one, it complements my Go Nagai collection, and I got a good deal; Got him brand new sealed in box for $20. LOL Another one that's a waste or atleast I thought of at first was Gold Lightan, however after seeing the actual toy, feeling the weight and seeing the bling and got a good deal as well...cha ching it was bought. Leopardon at first was not very attractive especially since it followed Voltes V, however I don't regret getting two of those. I say wait for the release and then make the decision. Each SOC is especially to someone...I guess.

Im passing on this. In fact I didnt get any SOC after GX-31 (however i have everything before GX-31 though... ...), Im losing my interest on SOCs.

Perhaps this one's a prototype? (paintjob-wise)
Here's what he really looks like, as seen in an Ultra Seven episode...
(if this link is broken, go to my thread "...Ultraman anyone?" in the Sentai section)
Personally, I like him... someday I'll get this figure. I like his menacing mechanical look. In that link above, I found that youtube video a couple nights ago. That was the FIRST time I ever saw King Joe in action... LIVE. I like how he dis-combined himself to evade Ultra7's laserbeam...
...my first impression was "He's gonna kick Ultra Seven's asss; the sight of him would make Me scared if I were a robot fighting him!" I've been hooked ever since! ;D

I personally can't wait for this, I passed on that Xabungle Walker whatever. mind you he looks more like that robot in "lost in space" than menacing but very cool nonetheless But this I'm definitely going for I even hunted for the Ultra chogokin Ultraseven [which is possibly the hardest of the ultragokins to track ] to pair up with this dude Still waiting for bandai to make my godzilla chogokin

in my own opinion...that robot has a love/hate design but it is a MUST to buy if you are collecting each and every SOC toy.

i like it! popy had much more things other then mazingers and godaikins but people keep forgeting about it. my only complaint is that it could have more diecast. i love bullmark gokins but generally they are very expensive and this reminds me a lot their style. i even thought king joe was made by bullmark in their z gokin line. the only bullmark stuff i have is diapolon and king joe will look great next to them!
