Pull the trigger if you real want him Oh you mean he has the all plastic version. Yeah, definitely getting GX-71. This one stands 8" tall but I like the show and it will for sure be collectible. |

I LOVE LOVE LOVE GX-68! Just posing him for a few shots filled me with manic joy unlike anything since childhood. Chogokin Joy! Love the plastic tank treads, superbly articulated hands, pose-ability/articulation, strength of the joints, weight, sculpt, gimmicks. This is about as close to a perfect Chogokin I have ever come across. A little Hell and Heaven action!  Side view of Hell and Heaven, oh what I wouldn't give for a few effects parts! Wait, don't even mention Star Parts, LoL!  Dividing Driver!!!  Final pose for today and at home in the Detolf. He is about to let go of the Dividing Driver and fire a Broken Magnum!  |

Love the pictures 👍 and I'm glad you like this GX-68.
And yes I wasn't sure just like you, but the guys here helped me a lot & then finally I pulled the trigger. No regrets at all.

Just a tip for you Grayson, but you can raise up the shoulders to give GGG a better shoulder line, which really helps with the overall look. You can see what I mean right here: imgur.com/JMF4dJd |

No regrets at all for me either. I love GX-68 almost as much as my DX Great Mazinger. And what a sweet deal I got too from Mandarake. All in all was about $230 with shipping and the box looked factory fresh too. |

Much better. I have to say as well, I forgot how plain Liner Gao looks without any panel lining. |

The only negative thing I have to say about GX-68 GaoGaiGar is that the Stealth Gao can't hide the lion mane parts in it's belly like it does the helmet. Or at least I have not found a way to do so yet.

I recently binge watched the entire series and do not remember the lion mane on the Stealth Gao in the anime but may be wrong. Thanks for the clarification. |

More anime magic! Cool, well my negative point has just become a positive for keeping it Anime correct. |

Ah, I see the mane on the Stealth Gao act as landing gear, seems a bit farcical to me but oh well. You have to remember that in-universe, the GaoMachines were basically slapped together using limited resources. Earth had no means of fully repairing Galeon or creating the Genesic GaoMachines. |

Yeah, I remember that Galeon/GaiGar never was fully operational until after Mamoru took him off Earth to the giant G Crystal left over from the destruction of his home planet to repair him and that the Genesic parts did not come about until like 3 episodes before the end, left in the Crystal by Cain. |

Hi everyone,
I just decided to revisit an issue I had with my copy of GX-68 today.
The metal wrist joint on Gaogaigar's left forearm is quite loose, it's been like that out of the box since 2014. I
I already examined if I can take the forearm apart to tighten the metal ball joint from the inside but had no luck. Any advice on what I should do?

I I already examined if I can take the forearm apart to tighten the metal ball joint from the inside but had no luck. Any advice on what I should do? Remove the hand, and then coat the wrist joint in Pledge floor polish and then let it dry for about 24 hours. Apply more coats as needed until the wrist joint is satisfactorily solid. |
