Okay, with all of my recent complainings.... I just want to change my tune and praise Gunbuster. I absolutely love this robot. I didn't know anything about the show but I went ahead and got it (it was a gift actually from my honey).
I am somewhat disappointed with Voltes V. Maybe I was expecting way too much from it (I am Pinoy afterall). But I think its because I can't seem to even out its legs--the right one seems a tad shorter. Also, in comparrison to design, Voltes V seems dated in comparrison to Gunbuster. I find Voltes V a bit chunky. Oh well, I've always been a bigger Mazinger Z fan (imagine me as a kid in the Philippines defending Maz).
My top 10 SOC robots to date are:
1. Dancouga 2. Gunbuster 3. Yamato (okay, this is from the BPX line) 4. Grendizer 5. Mazinger Z 6. Voltes V 7. Minerva X and Aphrodite A (I wish I have all of the 3d incarnation of the Angels) 8. Xabungle (I am sure that I would love Walker Gallia as well--I've yet to open it) 9. Evangelions (all of them) 10. Tetsujin
Okay, I am ending this thead on a positive note....

I share your love for Gunbuster too. Initially I was put off by the huge shoulders but then I saw a cheap one online and thought what the heck.... I glad I got it.

I hear ya dude... I felt the same way with the Voltes SOC. It was so underwhelming. Anywhoo, here are some pics of my Gunbuster. These were taken last December.

Hey hey, one doesn't need to see the anime to see the beauty of this toy (actually, I got some of my toys before I've ever seen the show!). Gunbuster is beautiful, and let's see the Ideon topping that!

Robots with big shoulders always catches my attention. Like the shin getter armageddon! I wanted to get the gunbuster so bad, but Im really out of the budget. Im still trying to complete my getter robots and come March, when the OVA version arrives, I might have to get it before it runs out on me. Hopefully, someday, the gunbuster will still be available.

I agree with your assessment with voltes v... though... i'm not bagging on his legs... i'm bagging on how small he is... i mean, come on... at least make him as big as optimus prime masterpiece... but no smaller than the voltron masterpiece... but i'm still waiting for daimos to come out... i bet he's going to be pretty much the same size as combattler and voltes.. which is kind of disappointing already just by thinking about it..
