My experience with Dancouga is only with the super robot wars games..and i was like wow this mech looks cool. Then with the announcement of the sentinel version in 2015 i was like this is a must have, i dont have any experience with socs by that time. I only had sentinel this year and it is a very fun mech to play with. I dont have the soc one but pre ordered one. Tj has review of the sentinel..you should check it out. He can do a iron man pose..articulation on the figure is amazing I hope this helps yea it dose help bro thank you i checked Tjs review and awesome photos, i know the SOC is outdated but maybe as an overall figure its better, and im saying maybe i will only get one figure for this character since i dont know it, i preorder the SOC already because it was on the most wanted SOCs reissue poll couple of months ago, and it won that so i guess people liked it I dont own the original one so i cant say anything about it - and yeah..pros and cons for both figures..im looking forward to the soc renewal.. The sentinel version's price is way up there nowadays. I do reckon that either figure you get or have is a win win situation

that new head looks so good, but hard to justify buying it again just for the head.....same goes with Baikanfu

Owned the original and sold it. Too fussy as most classic SoC are. Have this on PO but with all the stuff coming out I'm probably going to cancel. Missed on out Baikanfu rerelease, which sucks because that's the one I'd prefer.

I'm still torn with this release. The Baikanfu R is much more than just a simple head redisign. Redisigned shoulders, more metal, hips etc. Where as seeing these pics of the Dancouga R, I don't see any improvements other than the head design and the coloring (what Kuma style stated). I mean we haven't even heard from Bandai whether or not they improved the joints. And if that new head falls out easily like the transformable eagle fighter head, I'd be pretty pissed. Not to mention the original yellowing like crazy. I'm definitely buying that soc Baikanfu r, but I'll most likely cancel my Dancouga pre-prefer. A pity since Dancouga is one of my favorite super robots. I'm regretting passing up on the sentinel dancouga, but have no regrets selling the original soc Dancouga.

Like the original release, this beautifully engineered toy stands about 25cm tall, and it's fully posable and transformable, with all parts present: the Eagle Fighter with beam gun, Land Ligar with blaster gun, Land Cougar with blaster gun, and the Big Moth with its beam launcher and pair of pulse lasers. It also has its sword, the booster, and two interchangeable heads: a regular head and a newly sculpted non-deformed head. The joint structure has been improved over the earlier release, too. You need this iconic robot i your collection! link hlj.com/product/BANN17767

So far only Hlj seems to be the only site confirming the joints have been improved unless I missed something. If they truly improved the joints, then I'll keep my pre-order.

I still have my reservations, but I guess that will change once I have it in hand. I almost want to wait for a review before pulling the trigger. Hopefully we get more info about it regarding wha the improvements are. Isn't there a tamashii event going on this weekend and wonderfest part 2?

Isn't there a tamashii event going on this weekend and wonderfest part 2? you are welcome and honestly im not sure, but i noticed something while i was looking at the pictures, the hands (fists) are just like the GX-72 ! with no optional hands in the description its just that concept is very very old and not practical, so why they didn't change it

Looks like gold is the new trend? Both this and Baikanfu R replacing the yellow/metallic yellow with gold paint. Sentinel's Baikanfu also used gold.

Yeah, GaoGaiGar is still the best SoC in my opinion, even above the DX's. It is the standard which Bandai should be meeting today.

Question for everyone. The tamashii website states:
"In addition to the deformed head, it also comes with a non-deformed head that emphasizes new shape. In addition, we redesigned the joint structure of coloring and booster."
Does this mean that only the head, colors and joints of the booster will be redesigned? I know Japanese to English is hard to translate sometimes, but I'm just trying to understand what will be improved. It doesn't state anything about the joints of the figures being improved so I'm hoping someone can clarify the improvements! Thanks guys!

Man. They didn't even add any poseability for the backpack's cannons. What is the point of having said cannons if they cannot even move forward and over the shoulder?
It is a good thing that the individual mecha look pretty good as that may be the way I will be playing around with my SoC Dancouga.

Hopefully they add some kind of hinge so the cannons can fold over the shoulders like the sentinel release.

I don't think you can fold over the cannons - if you can, they would've showed it - I guess we just have to wait and see? but I'm not keeping my hopes high on that.
