Ask and you shall receive. The poncho doesn't fit snug and the excessive diecast on the feet weighs heavily on the Daizyujin. I don't wanna leave it on too long because it was putting too much pressure on the knees. Bonus, I attempted the dragonzord battle mode but the pegs on dz are too short and won't reach into he ports on Sabertooth and triceratops.

Thank you very much for your information Tomorrow will add fund to account to Preorder from Kirin Hobby I don't think it's an outer sleeve for gx-72 power rangers. I think you just get the power rangers box in USA. You got the outer sleeve for Voltron because WEP owns both Voltron and GoLion. I see, just saw a Megazord GX-72 on ebay. Seems like this time not outer sleeve but the box will be Power Rangers design. It's good , actually i think i prefer box design more than outer sleeve

Good stuff Guys I've been playing with this thing for almost 2 hours straight and am not tired. I now fully realize what a SOC is and don't think I can go back. I am having a blast transforming and posing it, I have really been missing out. Xephon mentioned this SOC has relatively more playability than other releases, would you say voltron has a similar 'playability quotient'? What about gaogaigar and baikanfu?

My very first gokin was a Voltron and man I was blown away! That figure you should get! It will look good next to Megazord. If you feel Megazord is heavy, wait until you get your hands on a Voltron! Voltron is also fun to play with man, highly recommended, but the price is too steep now. I hope Bandai reissues him again so that people who missed out can get a chance to own one. I can't say much about Baikanfu as I don't own one but I also do have Gaogaigar. Very fun to play with but you don't get much poseability on it however the transformation is very much anime accurate. I would also recommend GaoGaiGar. Thats good man. Still waiting for my one

What about gaogaigar and baikanfu? well you kinda answer my question, i was wonder about the playabilty of the gx-72 im telling you, same feeling with voltron i just COULD NOT put it down it took some really hard core action poses easily and now from your feedback i guess the gx-72 is the same well 4 more days then i will ship it ASAP

Welcome to a very very nasty addiction. You've just upgraded from the Weed that is Transformers to the more Hardcore robonarcotics. Stuff that you stop putting on plastic shelves in the basement and start designing your house around. (I wish I was kidding about that). Did you have a wife and family before you started this hobby? Oh well too late now, best not to think about it... move along. No really Voltron is probably the single best SOC to date. There are other really really good ones. And some that are far more complex. But it seems to hit all the balance points. If you are looking for more like it, GaoGaiGar and Daizyujin are the obvious ones with very similar engineering. God Sigma as well. In fact Voltron, God Sigma and Daiyujin make a perfect matched display trio. A Better Voltron I, II and III then we got on screen.

Welcome to the SOC rabbit hole where you will keep coming back for more. Gaogaigar and Baikanfu are both wonderful SOC releases. Gaogaigar is still one of the top pieces in the SOC line. While Baikanfu is a 10 year old mold, it's still pretty fantastic for the age. Hefty, very poseable and has a super neat gimmick.

I'm sitting here thinking that I should order one from Kirin but they aren't BBTS good. It's cheaper but the last thing I ordered from them wasn't packed all that great. My item got a little crush on the corner because it wasn't covered by the packing material and the box was way big and the item wasn't secured properly inside. I could save $40-$50 but I know what I get consistently from BBTS. On the fence. Oh and TJ got his so get ready for some awesome pictures!!!! I'm just as excited about his pictures and review as I am about getting my own. Living vicariously through TJ's pictures and review. LOL!!! LMAO! I'll try to do it justice, man.

That special blue kranck or kronk or whatever that spins your mind around and gets you doing desperate things for a fix... like selling organs. Not yours mind you, I mean somebodies. I'm sure your family can spare a few. Nobody really needs 2 livers or spleens. But he'll get you hooked on the Sen-Ti-Nel stuff or the Fewture! Yeah that be some addictive stuff there.

Hey bader how does that weight compare to Voltron? I believe Voltron is just over 1400grams.

You guys are the worst 😋 thanks for the recommendations, I'm looking forward to this new addiction, student loans permitting. Man and I thought I was "done" collecting mecha with gx-72. To be fair, the only stuff I had is the legacy power rangers stuff so this SOC seems that much greater.
Great photos, very inspiring!

The poncho doesn't fit snug and the excessive diecast on the feet weighs heavily on the Daizyujin. I don't wanna leave it on too long because it was putting too much pressure on the knees. This concerns me. If/when we do get a proper SOC Dragon Caesar he won't be able to handle this mode due to the extra weight.

I think it's because the legacy dragonzord diecast distribution wasn't properly planned to incorporate transformation. I'm sure a SOC dragon Caesar would be more thoughtful about this aspect ( maybe diecast only on the claws instead of the whole foot)
