This is a SUPERB figure. The sculpt and paint is NOT "laser sharp" as Bandai, but the price/quality ratio...proportion. Joints are FAR superior. IMHO, the front view of the head sculpt is also (subjectively) better then its "competitor." I am especially floored by the sturdiness of its joints. Highly recommended. Perfect synopsis. The Patlabor figures are outstanding as well. Definitely worth the money.

Jobby's review! It's PG-13 so delve at your OWN risk!! Disturbing, butt entertaining as ever. I see what you did there!!

I was just going to get the Metal Build, but this makes the Robo-Dou really tempting. Also price is really good.

WoW their shin getter is really good. Price product this shin getter is great. A very good line, at an affordable price. 250usd is becoming the standard... they are going for half the price. I already have evas and shin getter but I'm more than willing to buy any release I dont have from them (I have the one figure per robot rule)

Drakkon and Dancouger looking good! Give me that Griffon (Berserk and Patlabor) too Threezero!
Also, super tiny DLX Siege Bumblebee and Ultraman Belial look cool too.
Sad there's no Starscream yet...

Quite frustrating situation on Dancouga. Just when I waited for a number of years on whether I should get a 'better & anime styled' Dancouga release to replace the GX-13 since it didn't age very well, took me a lot of pondering and finally pulled the trigger on the more recent Sentinel Final Dancouga Boxset. Just a few days after I received the HLJ pile of loot package with Dancouga still in the box, now we have another announcement of a possibly even better Dancouga coming. This is the one aspect I hate about this hobby, and got me slow down my Hot Toys collecting dramatically, as there is always a better version a year or two later. Very tiring.

I think that's just the nature of the business, as new tech allows for better materials and better details. Since companies need to make money the popular characters will be made again and again. I say just enjoy it for what it is- there was a time when there weren't even many options for some characters like Dancouga or Baikanfu (compared to Mazinger), and now you have 3 or more choices for either. I'm very glad there are new options like POSE+ or threezero ROBO-DOU, making less popular characters like Baxinger, Braiger, Patlabor Ingrams, etc. For a long time I didn't expect larger diecast figures of any of these would ever get made. Now it is reality.

At least you can be fairly confident the Threezero Dancouga will give you a good bang for the buck and probably be in the $200- 250 range... so if push comes to shove you could probably flip the Sentinel version and still have a good amount left over...

But I learned to Made peace with that, it's the best you can do or you'll never be happy with your collection... I have two rules now: 1) one figure per character 2) If I'm happy with one figure when I get it, I won't change it.

Can you separate Dancouga and transform? The teaser picture chogokinsnake shared above confirms that they can separate and transform.

The teaser picture chogokinsnake shared above confirms that they can separate and transform. How tall is this??? You can figure out an estimate by watching the video above, since Dancouga is standing around a bunch of 1/6 figures. It looks like it will be in the ballpark of 24-25cm tall combined, give or take a cm or two.
