I got mine a week ago, I had originally planned on getting 2 however, upon inspecting the toy I just couldn't get over the chest (upper torso) being soooo plasticy. I got used to the godaikin version with the die-cast torso. I guess its a small thing but its enough to dissuade me from purchasing another.  Overall it is superior to the godaikin version, save for the plastic chest. |

I just ordered 2 from Angolz... teh only thing I don't like about it is during check out... when i paid for paypal... it did not give me the choice in paypal to either pay for credit card or debited the amount from my checking account-- it was automatically debited from my checking account... which sucks... unless tehre was a step that i missed... on the payment part it was either credit card or paypal.... i should have clicked on the credit card instead-- but i did not want to fill out the form...i thought on paypal it will give you that choice like on ebay when you pay with paypal and then log in to paypal and then you are given "funding options"... correct me if i am wrong guys... |

You can use your credit card to pay with Paypal, just have to make sure you look at the "Funding Options" and switch it from bank account to credit card before you make the payment...

finally got my 2nd and 3rd daimos from betatoys..
from inspecting them I found one of them had scratch in its inside thigh.. so after comparing all three(including the first one i had already) the scratch up one gets to be the display and the other two are mib..
I can finally transform daimos.. been waiting to compare all three before i transform..
Even though one of them had a scratch i consider myself luck that the 2 of them werent scratched..

crap that was dissapointing.. now i get all the gripes of the leg plates being too unforgiving int trying to transform to tranzer..
worse is that i did actually have to take the hands off to make his arm fit in truck mode.. and still it felt awkward positioning his arm in place.. it didnt feel naturally of trying to tuck his arms together versus how the smokescreen binaltech.
they should have sacrifice part swapping with to make a bigger tranzer truck shell also in the bottom half if they didnt want his legs to be to big . which i think the reason was for making it such a b*tch to fit in place..and his arms should have been tuckable inside his upper body, which in turn would allow waist articulation.. along with having the master piece prime/gundam groin skirt to allow more realistic leg articulation..
daimos is right now is not a toy one could easily transform back and forth ..without b*tching of trying to squeeze his truck shell in pllace.
oh yeah not to mention the paint chipping
i'll skip on the daimos respect version..
unless all of these issues are fix..
i already have 3 daimos after all

I haven't attemped to transform mine due to the lack of time & effort. However this Daimos looks best in robot mode anyway and right now I'm satisfied with the mere thought that if I wanted to, this bot could transform into Tranzer mode. Instead, I transformed my godaikin version to Tranzer and displayed them along side of each other  |

after transforming him again today.. this time i read the manual..lol
i was able to transform his arms better.. but i still had to take of the jointed hand out... i think the close fist would fit but i didnt put it on. . still very tight inside the side leg missles felt like skewering off inside or want to come out.

It's all in the arrangement of hte double jointed elbows to give his fists space to breathe. With the closed fists they fit nicely with a tiny bit of wiggle room if you line 'em up right. I've never been able to get the arms to stow with the poseable fists, though  . As a result, my Daimos never uses any of his accessories because I like to keep him transformable. |

I ordered 2 of these.. one for robot mode and one for truck mode... the one with scratches will be in truck mode... I really need to redo my glass cabinets... I have been neglecting my collection actually .. maybe time to fix and clean teh toys after the holiday season... |

comparison shots-- the bigger head for tranzer form and the head used in robot form... big head:  small head ( sorry the horns were all messed up-- it was just a quick and dirty shot)..  |
