Not sure why but been seeing so many Daltaniuous Jumbos on sale lately. 5 within the last 3 months or so.
Maybe these prices are a little wacky and may go done once more and more come out.
I want one but not sure I can afford the price it is going for.
I also see there have been a couple of Gordians on sale as well.
Anyone seen a Godsigma? I'd love to get one. If anyone has one for sale, PM me.

Gordian secured. Ok. Now I need a Godsigma, Daltanious and Daidenjin. Anyone got one for sale? Just putting it out there in the universe. I probably need to get in line for those robots.

Thanks Joweone. I always admired my friend's Gordian and I finally got one. The design has always been one of my favorites. Not sure where some of the hate I'm reading about comes from. I like that there are side missile launchers on his legs. They could have added this to any of the other Robot Factory Jumbos that don't shoot missiles, Daidenjin or Godsigma but not sure whey they only chose this guy. I always liked the Jumbos that could fire missiles. It would have been cool if designers found clever ways to put missile launchers in Voltes V or Daitetsujin 17.

Congrats on the Gordian. It's really one of the best. It has been one of my all time favorite ever since I saw it the first time. All his proportions and his large shoulders make him stand out of the line.
As for Daidenjin, even if he doesn't shoot missile, he can transform completely in his space ship mode, that's an incredible feature. And Godsigma comes with a huge sword.
For your info, Voltes V comes with missile launcher in his shoulders, they shoot straight up but it's more usefull and make more sense when you put him in tank mode. Don't remember if the planes that comes with D17 are shootable or not, I haven't look at it since a long time.

Yes. I always thought when looking at the Gordian, the designers really took their time to make this piece unique to the others. It's as if they just added those side missile launchers just cause they wanted to make the best kick ass Jumbo they could.
I'm looking for the plastic figure for Gordian as well. I doubt I'll ever get one. I had no idea Voltes V had missile launchers. I guess a lack of missile holders threw me off. I need to get one! Godmars or Leopardon don't fire missiles as well, right? ( I know Mazinger and those guys don't fire missiles either but at least you can add an attachment.
I usually check out collectiondx for info on jumbos. They haven't done a page for Voltes V, Daidenjin, Gordian, Leopardon, Godsigma etc. Would be awesome if someone could do a review w pictures on these guys.

Funny you mention that as I'm planning on doing some review in a near future. The idea for the review is to try to show specimen as much complete as possible. Unfortunately my Leopaldon and Voltes V are far from complete. But you can expect a Godsigma and Daidenjin review soon.
Leopaldon comes with two kind of missile he can shoot from the launcher on the side of his legs. He's one with the most accessories: shooting fist, webshields, swords, missiles, the car in his back and the little Spiderman figure. Pretty hard to get one complete.

Great! Can't wait to see your reviews. How about 1 for Gordian, Red Baron and Mach Baron? Is that asking for too much? I don't mind seeing reviews on incomplete items. I like to see nice detailed pictures of any item before I plan on buying.

I think it would be great if one of us would shoot video reviews of each Jumbo and post on youtube not unlike how current toys are reviewed. The reviews can show how the missiles are shot, etc. Maybe put a robot factory jumbo together. I was surprised how easy it is to put those together. No need for that tool at all. More like a gimmick for kids.
