You guys are funny! Have you guys seen the Anime? The only thing Jeeg transforms into is Jeeg from a human being...some magical crap having to do with that Jeeg necklace. Kind of tough to engineer into a toy. But other than that, this one is a good representation. So SOC Jeeg is basically a doll?

Once again, I wonder why anyone would purchase an Anime figure without actually watching the anime and then expect it to have all kinds of Transformer gimmicks... I just don't get it. And I agree with 00silvergt, this is one AWESOME representation of the Koutetsushin Jeeg! ;D }D

I NEVER EVER mentionned ANYTHING about transforming. I asked what were the GIMMICKS. Read before making comments, or worse, false assumptions.
Btw, unless you still live with your mom and need her approval, you don't need to know a girl to find her pretty. Meaning you can buy a toy because you like the look and design of it regardless of the show it's coming from.

Hey megatroptimus, why are you so difficult to get along with. Do you derive pleasure in attacking others? Seriously

Go read again the stupid reply you gave to my simple question and then ask yourself the very same question.
"no as in does jeeg transforms into a plane, car, truck, dinosaur, snake, dog, bunny, rat, mouse, toilet bowl, yo mama, etc ... you get the picture"
YOU started it.
EDIT: Oh wait, you felt personally insulted when I wrote "Btw, unless you still live with your mom and need her approval, you don't need to know a girl to find her pretty."? C'mon, you more than well know that was a general "you", not "you" as in "calibre". It was just to make the parallel with buying toys based on look alone.

What's that small Jeeg? I love having small versions of larger robots; "Toys playing with toys" is one of my favorite posing pasttimes.

Ha, that's a cool pic, I remember that one.
BTW, checking on Youtube, it looks like there is some transformation (anime magic, I know) involved with the Jeeg since the guy pretty much forms the head of the bigger robot. Some kind of Headmaster?

got my jeeg today (have gotta check that anime now) and have to say, I am very pleased with it. didn't take it out of the box though, simply run out of space to display, but it's really my type of SOC (could be bigger though...) intricate details, nice finish and good (not checked yet) quality... and that's really a cool picture quinjester!

Some kind of Headmaster? Exactly what I said. The guy has a necklace which transforms him into the head. A ship carrying the rest of his parts shoots them off, Gattai....Voila!

To be more specific, the necklace of Hiroshi from the Classic Jeeg is more of a communication device. Hiroshi also wear a pair of 'racing gloves' that activates his henshin into a cyborg, as well as his 'morphing' into the Jeeg head (You can say that Jeeg is one anime that push 'morphing to its limit, even Getter Robo can't match LOL). Then the Big Shooter aircraft usually shoots out all the body parts and they all combined with magnetic power (generated from Hiroshi/the Jeeg head). While you can say the concept is a little like headmaster, it exist about a decade earlier.
For Shin Jeeg however, the morphing is out and what remains is just a mechanical bike that literally transform into the Jeeg head, more or less like a cockpit (...more logical, but less cool).

Less cool? Maybe. Bikes are always cool. So, what I want to know is, can you mix and match magnetic joint parts from the new SOC Jeeg with the SOC Getters?

Well, less 'cool' may not be the appropriate word for it. But since the 'morphing head' is such a major signature of the Classic Jeeg, turning it into a folding bike is just less...."Jeeg" to me Kind of like making a new Getter Robo that doesn't combine with 3 jets or doesn't use Getter Beam, making it less...."Getter". ;D Not sure if the parts fit Getter, since Getter don't have a lot of circular magnetic connections. But I know the SOC Shin Jeeg can mix and match with the old Takara Jeeg.

I received a ship confirmation from betatoys just now. Could it be Jeeg? The only two things I have preordered with betatoys are Jeeg and Daimos. Unfortunately I am out of town on business the following two weeks :S, so i won't be able to verify it.
