Just got mine from Amazon.jp yesterday. Haven’t had a chance to open it yet. I really hope that most reviewers are saying is wrong once I do. I really want this to be a great toy since I was never able to get the CM’s one.

I’m glad I kept my Marusan Blue Metallic Gordian. That’s the one to get. Has a Beautiful metallic paint job and head sculpt is better too. Lot more diecast overall not just in Garbin. As I mentioned earlier it’s more aesthetic than SOC Gordian.

I heard that the overall weight of the Soc is heavier than the CM brave gokin version, can any body confirm this? even for individual robots.

Got mine and Im pretty disappointed too. Maybe its because so many other brands out there now that are competing with Bandai that I just think somewhere their quality has dropped quite a bit. the antennas on his head fall out easily btw...

Glad I didn't buy it. Came so close to doing so. Instead, I purchased GX-68 GaoGaiGar.

Glad I didn't buy it. Came so close to doing so. Instead, I purchased GX-68 GaoGaiGar. Here's a similar take, longer treacherous road. I'd made a pre-order (with down payment) on SOC Gordian, mostly out of childhood nostalgia for the original Godaikin Gardian I longed for it on the shelves of TRU. (full disclosure, no familiarity to the anime source, just a toy bot-obsession) As fulfillment of my order got closer, reading some of the board's less than stellar reviews of SOC Gordian, was disheartening. However stubbornly, locked in for 10%, I kept my order, sure to suffer some buyer's remorse as we often do. A few weeks ago, my shipment with SOC Gordian (traumatically plus other pieces) was lost/stolen in transit at FedEx. It has been a gut-wrenching experience for which fortunately I have since been issued a full credit/refund for the shipment. Took this opportunity to re-consider my purchase of SOC Gordian. Guess Gordian and I were not meant to be as those funds will likely go towards Pose+ GaoGaiGar. See… almost the same. :-P

From the looks of it it wasn't really a great hit and I wouldn't be surprised to see heavy discounts on it.

Hi guys, really sorry for this super duper late review. 2021 was nuts and a lot of items came in very late in my neck of the woods (the Gordian came out in March 2021, it arrived around July for me, I only got to work on in late into the holiday season of 2021, when free time finally came around). I figured I'd still post this for posterity in case anyone was still curious about this release (lol... even though it's already 10 months late, again, apologies). Please click the image to proceed to the full review. Gordian is big and heavy when combined and there are certainly a lot of bright spots here, but there's also a lot of things Bandai really messed up with this particular SOC release. The lack of diecast on the smaller robots (and paint) is probably the most glaring negative aspect of this figure. Sadly, unlike the rest of the SOC big combiners, it fails to impress. Gold

Awesome review as usual, Gold! Thanks!

Thanks for the review. Wish it was a better figure because I like the design better hwn Baikanfu and the size gives it a presence.

Thanks guys. Magmatron, agreed. This really could've been better in execution. The Garbin is the only figure that looks great (Daigo too). Gold
