Hello all, Just picked up the Dark General today and I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed. I was suprised by the sheer weight of the toy. This toy is HUGE and Heavy. Enjoy the pics.

stonesunshine: yes, this version(black) of Ankoku Daishogun includes Baron Ashura. The regular version comes with DR Hell and the limted classic TV version includes an Archduke Gorgon. I believe the late Mazinkaisers include a little Ankoku Daishogun.
Congrats!

Dai Shogun is one of THE best dollar for Gokin deals out there. I have the metallic and the TV version and spent under $200 for both, plus they outweigh pretty much 99% of my collection and are almost as tall Zambot. Pure goodness.

^ I don't think they are hard to find. But they are hard to find at a reasonable price, since the first few months it was out.

Here's a thread with images of the TV color version: robotjapan.proboards12.com/index.cgi?board=SOC&action=display&thread=1151431339You can also check out mycollection on the gallery board(he's on page 2). The TV color version was limited to 500 pieces worldwide, and features a completely different paint scheme. There's one in an ebay store right now, at about 2x retail, so I guess it could be approaching triple. I got mine from ebay around xmas for about the same price as the other two(which I broke down and ordered since I love my TV version so much). I believe RJ member Chen got his TV version from the same seller for less than retail! But be careful if you're trying to complete the set; I recently had a bad time with a seller that decided to list The black Ankoku Daishogun two different ways, with two different sets of pics and descriptions(only one of which is clearly labeled BLACK). Like a lot of Aoshima's million and one variations, the differences can be subtle. He's soooooo heavy and he towers over my mazinger and getter SOCs! He's just an awesome toy. When I opened mine, I had to restrain the impulse to wave him around and have him bash my SOCs off the shelf, like a little kid! He just has a combination of size and image that just takes me back to being a little kid and playing with big gokins and toys from my childhood. Pure toy magic.

Is $140 a fair price for the black ankoku daishogun? I saw one and was thinking of getting it. Thanks guys!

the first 2 I think (wearing black) has more appeal.... the last one is a bit fruity....

Well the last one if from his appearance in the Great Mazinger Anime so it's really the original look.

Yep, that's based on the original, which is why I had to have him.
And much less fruity than the grape Mazinkizer they recently released.
