I think the only issue AmiAmi has is shipping Voltes because of the included batteries. I’m still waiting for them to ship mine but other items I had on preorder with AmiAmi (Moderoid Gaiking models) shipped immediately and arrived to my doorstep in the US three days after release. Fingers crossed for Gordian.

Really love wotafa's excitement when he gets new stuff. That child-like enthusiasm is why we collect. When he picked up the Garbin (blue) figure, his reaction to the diecast heft was awesome.

I thought we collected so we could sell the figure later for twice what we paid? Jokes aside, it's funny always seeing him wear what appears to be a pajama in his reviews.

Just wait for more few days arrive here in US ... I like the size of the individual bots on the SOC but I cant get past some of the weird proportions. Fully combined I still prefer the CM's, i'll get the SOC if I ever find it on sale.

My first impressions of Gordian: Love the Blue Paint No articulated fingers, hands just seem too big like gorilla size Limited hip articulation Couple of pieces were off that I thought they were broken at first. The fist come off fairly easily to mimic launching action. Top heavy in the diecast in Garbin Seems like diecast only in feet for Delinger No diecast in Protteser Clint panther no articulation Corner of Box was crushed but I expect that from Amazon. The super wide shoulders were not as bad in hand. But still has blocky feel to it.

Not a fan of Gordian per se but the excellent blue paint job and overall surface finish got me impressed. Sorry to hear you got your box damaged, always the same problem with Amazon but like they'll ever care.

This might be the least active new SOC figure thread I have ever seen.

Several reviews have gone up on it's Amazon JP page, and those Japanese buyers are really disappointed. I don't remember any SOC, any recent one at least, getting 1 outta 4 stars before lol.

Gordian has arrived in Wash DC from Amazon Japan. Came in a brown Amazon box wrapped in white tissue paper and bubble wrap. Undamaged

I haven’t fully explored the set yet, but on surface I was disappointed by the die-cast content. Only the large piece has significant die-cast and the others are featherlight plastic - perhaps an engineering excuse, but it’s a dangerous precedent in my opinion!

Just shipped mine...via Surface as DHL was almost 10,000JPY with Ami2. I'm in no rush. At least surface has tracking. I'll see it by...summer?

I just unboxed mine and I saddly have to say this is garbage. The old Gokin is light years better. The plastic on these things feels so thin and brittle. Feels like they would crumble if you close your fist on them. The gaps around the joints are so masive you can see thru the bot. It’s like the limbs are floating and separate from the body. Only Garbin has a decent amount of metal in the chest.
I really wanted to love this release but it feels like something made by a cheap chinese ko company. The bots feel like flimsy husks in hand and yes, I know they are technically husks but the old Gokin doesn’t feel like that.
I really hope you guys like this figure, especially with that price tag. I think this scores as one of the worst releases by Bandai so far. I was going to sell my old Gokin but for the first time a Gokin is going to replace a SOC in my display

I'm afraid that Bandai has gone the way of what TakaraTomy and other big name manufacturers like Hasbro and Mattel have been doing for a long while now. Push low quality products as 'premium collector' items for maximum pricing.
Notice how their Bandai Collectors products have significantly increased in pricing across the board while cutting a lot of corners.
Also see how small in size and/or light on diecast the upcoming SOC shown late last year are.
