Yeah, GaoGaiGar is still the best SoC in my opinion, even above the DX's. It is the standard which Bandai should be meeting today.

No worries S_Gokin! I will be the Guinea Pig. Just ordered from HLJ thanks to your link.Was worried about ordering from a somewhat shady Chinese site. I could not pass on this Mazinger Z as it is 9.5 inches tall with ALL the goodies/features. I missed out on the DX Mazinger Z and am not about to pay the exorbitant prices it demands. I have decided to collect only 9" up figures from now on.

The Sentinel version looks so much better than that.

Yep, watching that vid turned me off for this release. Decision making time and I am leaning towards canceling my pre-order...

I hope its dairugger for GX76. I have a feeling that it can be Blackwing from Dancouga Yeah it does seem like Bandai and Sentinel like duplicating one another's efforts lately. If it is BlackWing it will no longer be tinfoil hat land/conspiracy theory though.

I tried to get the base off the extended wing Pilder but it was a no go. That thing is on solidly. Oh well, I can live with it being a bit off kilter. Still looks better that the included jet Pilder with GX-70. My GX-73 should be here at the end of July from eKnight or early August. Bandai just won't leave us alone this year and I couldn't be happier for it.

Will do. I will say that the Scrander belt that came with this set closes much better than the one that came with GX-70 which had a slight gap no matter how I tried to close it or worse would close completely but one half would protrude out much further than the other half. This Scrander belt is about as perfect as it can get. Thats great to hear!! Is the belt compatible with the scrander included with GX-70 Yes, they are compatible. The Scrander parts are not though. You can't switch tail fins or wings.

Please let us know how that works out. Will do.

The Pilder that docks with wings folded is off kilter. the front lights are very uneven which you can see from the pics. ARGH!!!! Do I like it, yes. Do I think it's worth $40? No. Really? WTF? The docking hover pilder is the only reason I bought this. Thanks for the review and pics, grayson! Me too! I wanted the classic Mazinger Z look. I am going to try and swap the bases of the two Pilders as the wings expanded Pilder is perfect.

This release is magical. The more i look at it, The more i hold it, the more i love it. Its by no mean PERFECT, but the sum of it is by far more then its parts. I just got to say This year, We truely are blessed by so many spectacular releases. the amazing and very rare Astroganger, the astounding HMR Spartan at $70 ......and of course incredible SOC Voltron. Its only the half of 2017, i cant even imagine what our lovable companies have in store for us for the rest of 2017. This is the year of re-release and hopeful amazement no doubt. Bandai has done a superb job but so have Sentinel and others(Iffy/Scethchy). The whole DC line from Bandai is spectacular. Sentinel is knocking it outta the the park with Baikanfu. Bandai doing re-releases of classics from Dan Couga to Baikanfu. King Art's(SKETCHY) release of damage/normal mazinger Bandai GX-70D and GX-73 are WHAT? Totally amazing I tell you. And Bandai's intermingling of parts to enhance other releases does not bother me as I would have bought them all. I don't even want to mention the glory of DX COMBLTATER V because it overwhelms me.

I don't know why but I am so looking forward to this shipment. It's not like it's a full blown chogokin or anything but the fact I can finally put a Hover Pilder in my GX-70. I am also going to switch out the the tail fins on the Scrander and I don't know why that makes me happy but it does.

Thank you S, but how about DaiShogun, the Dark General? If HMR can do the Massive diecast Monster, why cant SOC DC do a massive General? It obviously doesnt have to be perfectly scaled, but at least as big as Voltron! And speaking of bad guys, can they throw in DC Doublas and Garada? How cool would that be? Yes I'm wondering about Daishogun as well! Hell what about making Dr.Hell and Baron Ashura. Baron Ashrura Mazinger would be awesome but Baron Ashura Him/Her self might be difficult considering the robes they are always wearing, almost completely covered by cloth.
