Just got my RX 77-2 Guncannon.. Im so impressed i had to make a sperate thread. Let me just say this...i do not collect all plastic robots. Its not my cup of tea. Yet here we are.
cons Its on the smaller side. Since its 99 percent plastic, its a lightweight. Yes, its all plastic figure. A tad expensive for an all plastic figure....YMMV 99 percent of the figure is bare color molded plastic...minimal paint app. No clickies.
Pros. Since its a "Green Monday, " ill say this is a green and healthy figure. No styro, no toxic smell, only hands are PVC. Yes exception of many pairs of hands, everything is tough as nail super high quality ABS. That includes the antenna, and.....effect parts!! That is the first for me. This is not your cheap model set ABS, nor EV quality ABS...This figure is made of Legoesque quality ABS...the best there is. Virtually unbreakable!!
A perfect sculpt. It looks exactly like the anime counter part. Tons of articulations. If you like sSentinels sliding panel joint engineering, youll love this.
Final Thought. With bit of a pity Metal, more painted parts and a few clicky joints, this line can easily, so effortlessly kick SRC and HMRs ass. Super impressed. I eagerly wait for Z'Gok and Guntank. For an awesome video review, check out Ohiko2000. His reviews are amazing even if i dont understand a word of what hes saying...
Highly recommended. Get it if you see one around $40 total.

wow!! A video reviewer missed a neck joint.
it CAN look down. There IS another joint at the base of the neck. You pull both neck and head togather.
Now you can turn the head freely. Now he can look sideways without the collar nor cannons impeding.
This thing has amazing articulations.

Got ZGok today and had a chance to play with it.
Heres my quick and dirty humble review. Cons The effect parts are all made of horrible PVC. What happened Bandai, GunCannons were all quality ABS. It regressed....wth. Pros Its much MUCH bigger (thicker?) then GunCannon. This is one and only robot toy that i have, who can do the IronMans 3 point landing pose with an "EASE." The articulation is even better then GunCannon. Built like a tank.
I got him from Amazon for $40 total. Im thinking, this should be $30 total. I just feel that way. If it had bit more (?) metal, couple of clickies and had more paint app, yeah maybe $40. MSRP of $60.... I'd say, Are you crazy!?!
Unless This line release more of my favorite side characters, i think Im done for now. GunCannon and ZGok.....ahhhh, Life is good.
Oh one more thing, the individual missles on top of his head? Its removable!!! Bet no video review mentioned that! Also there IS a "1 percent" metal.....tiny part of toe joint and hip joint is metal...oh wow.

NVM, upon closer look with a flashlight, the metal turned out tobe screws and such... Im not TakaraTommy, i dont count screws as diecast
So no, NO metal in this figure.
