I want to thank you and the others f360, if not for you all and for you posting the links, I might have never been able to lay my hands on GX-68 GaoGaiGar. At Episode 36 now and really loving the anime which makes my desire for this wonderful chogokin exponentially more so. I Kind of skipped and watched the last few 8 minutes of the anime and know it ends on a sad note but what a ride it's been. |

Mandrake's damage box is probably just a small dent. |

Mandrake's damage box is probably just a small dent. They gave me a tracking number yesterday but EMS can't find it yet but that's not unusual in my experience, probably take another day to update. I chose the one that was opened for Quality Inspection with damaged box so am sure the figure will be in great shape. |

BTW, I can't tell from the review vids I watched but do GaoGaiGar's fists swivel down on the SoC like they do in the anime when attaching to the arms?

Unfortunately the mechanic isn't that great - it usually happens so clunkily that you can barely notice it. Personally my favorite feature is that the transformation involves overshooting Liner Gao into GaiGar's torso. |

Pretty much from alot of reviewers saying that due to the transformation engineering of this one - it limits the articualtion, but then again this is the best representation of gaogaigar!! They say if you want to play or a fully articulated one - another option is to get the SRC, can't wait for my one to arrive as well! Been selling some MP transfomrers to fund some Gokins - this would be my 3rd Gokin |

Been selling some MP transfomrers to fund some Gokins - this would be my 3rd Gokin If you want to cheaply explore the difference in articulation between SOC and SRC, look for an SRC GaoFighGar. They were on sale for as low as $20 usd not too long ago. And they are basically a GGG retool, with exactly the same engineering and articulation. |

SRC GFG is one of my Favorite SRCs.
A Beautiful paint work, Ton of metal and SRC articulation.
A Real shame that its not selling as well as it should....

SRC Gold Gaogaigar is literally the first Gokin collectible I ever owned not knowing anything about gokin products or Super Robots at all. It was so well made, so poseable, and so just plain awesome looking that I went from being s TF collector to going full on into Super Robot watching and collecting diecast.
I don't collect them anymore, but I have a huge appreciation for what SRCs used to bring to the table.

By the way.
Did the SoC Gaogaigar had a reissue or was it just a second shipment of them over past year or so?

Same here I was only collecting MP tfs but when i first owned a gokin (gx71) I was like man, this things are heavy and look awesome! Trying to limit MPs now and starting to focus more on super robots! Unless tak decides to release a MP combiner! Haha |

I wouldn't mind having a second one either but to display the vehicle modes and Gai Gar by himself too. Ugh that would necessitate a third order of the same figure to show Gai Gar as Galeon too. Ugh, FML! Ah well, consider it an investment and all worries go out the window. LoL. How many times have we all told ourselves this but luckily for us it is kinda true.
