Not a fan of the Battle Damaged look. Just want my perfect looking Gaiking back! Can't believe that piece fell off!

Have you try using a magnet ( or even any thing that's made of steel or iron!!) to help you find it?
Get any available magnet (or steel/iron) and sweep the area where you think it might be at.
That thing is SO tiny it will be hard to find with naked eye ...but luckly it has a magnet!
If its hiding you can fish it out with a magnet(...or a steel object)!!
Goodluck my friend.

Review for this is uploading now. Worst figure I've bought in some time. I don't see it. It's a long video at a high quality so unfortunately it's still uploading: At 91%. I need to figure out something with making these videos smaller file sizes. |

Great new setup you've got. Always appreciate your honest take on stuff. Glad I resisted on this as well as the Grendizer. Both look fantastic, but always just had a bad feeling about the quality vs price point. Though the Grendizer is now dropped to about $160 shipped.

Thank you man and yea I don't understand the mindset behind propping up subpar stuff because there's no upside to it. You sacrifice your credibility and give companies an excuse to keep churning out junk. It's insane to me that this company has been around so long and putting out stuff like this. |

Thank you for the review. I’ve been on the fence about this figure and I can’t understand why some people love it and some people hate it. I caved in and ordered (still in transit) but now I’m nervous about getting it. I’m also looking forward to the Jeeg which looks fantastic 😕 |

You sacrifice your credibility and give companies an excuse to keep churning out junk. I don't think GGG and I were looking for any personal upside - we're simply hobbyists who enjoyed this figure. And we pointed out the flaws, and took time to spell out how to remedy them. Why call our credibility into question? We're RJ bros... we're not doing this professionally. We don't have .com shops and merch with our names on it. Different people like different things. As I recall, you LOVED the Titan Power Voltron. Well, out of my 50+ Voltrons it's DEAD LAST on the list. Did I call your credibility into question when you reviewed it? RJ is a place for many viewpoints. And I'm glad to see yours. But please don't call into question the credibility of others because their opinions are not your own. |

I don't think GGG and I... I wasn't speaking to you directly or in a passive sense (I don't have a problem with or hesitation towards quoting and speaking to you directly) and honestly haven't read through this thread to be on the up with anyone's individual opinions so I don't know where you're coming from with all of this. It was a general statement which I wholeheartedly stand by and nothing more. As said in the review if you or whoever likes it then great; I honestly admire the fact that you do as I wish I could like what I spent my money on as well. |

Sorry I skimmed at first view and just caught this; if you wanted to do that then you should have; I wouldn't even care. If there are things that I was looking at wrongly then you as someone with "50 Voltrons" should use whatever knowledge base you've gained from said "50 Voltrons" to help the community build their knowledge base as well. There's a stark difference between arguing/debating subjective matters vs. objective ones in the sense that one is just petty and the other. "I like ____ character" or "I like big/small/diecast/plastic figures," etc. etc. are all subjective/preferential and there's no real right or wrong to them. However things like "These magnets don't hold," "These joints don't hold in place," or "This came with chipped paint" are objective." If you're taken a back by my dislike of poor quality or feel personally attacked by it then honestly I've got nothing. |

I believe varied views are a good thing and are encouraged here.
I believe that this figure has some issues but like the varied opinions there are varied collectors who are willing to accept different amounts of issues with a figure along with the cost factor.
I think right now collectors are starved for variety and are willing to invest in figures, good or bad just to have something different in their collection. Gaiking should be getting more love along with a bunch of other SR's.

I wish someone would do instructional videos as to how to insert batteries in these figures. I don't even try any longer.

(That would make quite a video)! Gaiking's aren't that bad.... Just use tweezers and make sure they're in the opposite polarity of an American piece of electronics. The light FX are worth it on these. |

I def WOULD have on Grendy (from what i hear)....God Mazinger already was a nightmare.
On Gaiking, just put two batteries in the chest instead of three IF you are having problem.(it will still work)
Tweezer is a HUGE help BUT just dont squeeze the battery(..be very gentle handling it.)
Or It will pop off of tweezer and you will spend untold time looking for it....
