Man. They didn't even add any poseability for the backpack's cannons. What is the point of having said cannons if they cannot even move forward and over the shoulder? It is a good thing that the individual mecha look pretty good as that may be the way I will be playing around with my SoC Dancouga. Couldn't agree with you more buddy. Hopefully they add some kind of hinge so the cannons can fold over the shoulders like the sentinel release.

Question for everyone. The tamashii website states:
"In addition to the deformed head, it also comes with a non-deformed head that emphasizes new shape. In addition, we redesigned the joint structure of coloring and booster."
Does this mean that only the head, colors and joints of the booster will be redesigned? I know Japanese to English is hard to translate sometimes, but I'm just trying to understand what will be improved. It doesn't state anything about the joints of the figures being improved so I'm hoping someone can clarify the improvements! Thanks guys!

I agree. They really seem to have knocked it out with this one. I remember reading something about functional improvements on the arms, though? I wonder what is different engineering-wiese. Good question bro. To be honest, I'm not sure. I know they said there will be the thighs will be die cast, shoulders will be redisgned, head redisigned, new colors and the tamashii website says the wrists will be redisigned as well. So I guess in terms of engineering it will be the wrists. Oh and the hips will be improved as well. I think that's pretty cool since the original was a great piece.

I'm really diggin' this piece! September can't come soon enough! Looks wise, I like it better than the sentinel version. Now if only the SOC Dancouga R had better improvements like the Baikanfu R...

Right, I initially asked that question a couple posts ago and quoted this item description from hlj but is that coming officially from Bandai? So far only Hlj seems to be the only site confirming the joints have been improved unless I missed something. If they truly improved the joints, then I'll keep my pre-order. i think i didnt see your post but both AE and BBTS mention it got some improvement over the old one www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/54353www.anime-export.com/product/36200and to be more sure they mentioned that they DID improve it in the tamashii site here you tamashii.jp/item/12161/?wovn=en hope this answer you Thanks for the info bud. I still have my reservations, but I guess that will change once I have it in hand. I almost want to wait for a review before pulling the trigger. Hopefully we get more info about it regarding wha the improvements are. Isn't there a tamashii event going on this weekend and wonderfest part 2?

I'm still torn with this release. The Baikanfu R is much more than just a simple head redisign. Redisigned shoulders, more metal, hips etc. Where as seeing these pics of the Dancouga R, I don't see any improvements other than the head design and the coloring (what Kuma style stated). I mean we haven't even heard from Bandai whether or not they improved the joints. And if that new head falls out easily like the transformable eagle fighter head, I'd be pretty pissed. Not to mention the original yellowing like crazy. I'm definitely buying that soc Baikanfu r, but I'll most likely cancel my Dancouga pre-prefer. A pity since Dancouga is one of my favorite super robots. I'm regretting passing up on the sentinel dancouga, but have no regrets selling the original soc Dancouga. allow me to answer you bro this is from HLJ The Soul of Chogokin Dancouga was a popular choice in Bandai's questionnaire asking which of their mighty giant robots should be re-released, and here it is! Like the original release, this beautifully engineered toy stands about 25cm tall, and it's fully posable and transformable, with all parts present: the Eagle Fighter with beam gun, Land Ligar with blaster gun, Land Cougar with blaster gun, and the Big Moth with its beam launcher and pair of pulse lasers. It also has its sword, the booster, and two interchangeable heads: a regular head and a newly sculpted non-deformed head. The joint structure has been improved over the earlier release, too. You need this iconic robot i your collection! link hlj.com/product/BANN17767Right, I initially asked that question a couple posts ago and quoted this item description from hlj but is that coming officially from Bandai?

Glad everyone is enjoying their f91! It's a great piece! I love mine! I'm more of a UC Gundam guy so all the au mb Gundams don't appeal to me. I sold all my au mb gundams. Patiently awaiting for an mb rx-93 nu Gundam. Come on Bandai!

According to Hlj's product description the "joint structure has been improved". What does that mean? Have they improved the ratchet joints? Is the internal hip joint metal now instead of plastic? No more loose hips? Did Bandai confirm this? Looks like this one has an extra "non deformed head". Dancouga is one of my favorite super robot combiners along with Golion and Voltes. If Bandai confirms these improvements then I'll bite. Are the treads still rubber as well?

Did Bandai confirm any other updates other than the head and shoulders? Yeah. It's 7k-yen more than the original... That's quite an improvement!!! Consider me sold! Lol! 🤣😂

I think I'm going to pass on this. So far the only improvements they announced are the head, shoulders and paint. This mold needs way more improvements. The ratchet joints, hips, tarnishing sword to name a few. Heck Baikanfu has way more improvements (head, hips, more diecast, shoulders, paint). And the msrp on that is 25,000 yen vs Dancouga 27,000 yen?!! How did that happen?!! I don't understand why Bandai doesn't make a brand new Dancouga. So unlesss Bandai makes more improvements to this mold, it's an easy pass for me.

I hope this mold gets a major overhaul. This SOC didn't age well. Honestly, they should just start from scratch and make a totally new figure instead of just retooling here and there. Give us the Dancouga you couldn't back then Bandai! Yeah, I agree. Given what they did with SOC Voltron and Megazord Bandai should give the Sentinel Dancouga a run for its money with today's modern engineering. We all know Bandai can do it. Do Dancouga some justice Bandai!!!
