Already glued, although I guess it would be easy to break it off again (but it's solid now). Basically, I tried rebuilding a new plate to attach to what was left of the knee post but it kept breaking. Still, that GGGG is a pretty sh*tty toy compared to Star Gaogaigar... Too much weight on the back, too many parts to swap/add... Helmet is not very tight... Gee, what were they thinking. Better, what was I thinking.

Btw, I have 2 small parts that are gold chrome with red paint and I don't know where they go. Any idea?

I mentioned this was a great figure before.. well, I kind of lied, but only because I had good intentions and you had already bought it. ;D I know a lot of people here really like this figure and I don't like to hinder anyones enthusiasm. But yeah, its sucky. The DX version is sucky x2.

They go on Gadget Gao's feet, on the top of his back "toe". They look really odd though despite the fact that they're lineart accurate, plus you have to take them off to combine the figure, so they were the first thing I tossed into the ziploc "spare parts" baggie.

I'm not sure if I see what you're talking about, I can't find the holes to insert them...

The knees of this thing are very fragile, mine is broken too. If you decide to sell it for parts, I might buy it, I need the "crest" of the lion.

I was able to glue the leg back, but it can't rotate anymore at the knee... so when I combine it, I have both legs facing rearward but it still works, the poseability is just more limited.
I was maybe considering re-selling it, and my S.H.E. Shin Getter-2 as well (which was broken too but repaired). I'm not sure yet, I'm not too stoked about losing that much money.

I have managed to fix the broken leg, with a small screw and a nut, perfect !
