Just by looking at that interior, I could tell, they made this bad boy with love. And that's just Daiku Maryu, Gaiking looks great also.

i know but show me a figure in the SOC line thats kinda close the GX100, only the GX85 stand out, also im comparing two figures from the same line not sure if you have the GX85 but its not a plain figure, when push it forward the front feet moves, also its very detailed and heavy, most of us thought it will cost alot but Bandai managed to keep it reasonable
im not comparing them directly since the GX100 was going to be a DX but im trying to understand why they priced it this high
I actually have it. But like I said, it was literally built on top of the Legacy Titanus, which was $150. That helped keep costs down, and it still was $100 more expensive. I still think it's not as elaborate or complex as GX 100. Not to mention that size to cost increases aren't equivalent. Double size doesn't mean that cost will always have to double it could cost less or (more likely) cost more in order to balance it right. But like you mentioned, there aren't many figures like this in the SOC line. Maybe the ships are the closest next to GX85. I'm hoping for more information to come soon on this to better explain the cost. Legacy titanus retail price was 200usd (it then went on sale). Also titanus is almost a brick with wheel and a neck (I love it, and I'm a fan) it has zero articulation and little engineering. There is no point in comparing those two releases. Unless you are talking about weight or display space...

Anyone else thinks the Gaiking figure is totally unnecessary with this release? The GX-27 works perfectly fine with this Dragon and is nearly identical to the upcoming one. Not to mention you end with two nearly identical Gaikings on your shelf. It feels like a cash grab move from Bandai to double dip in the customers pockets because let’s be honest, who here is going to buy this beast without having the GX-27 already? I feel they should have offered it as a GX-100G like they did with Zambot Ace and drop the price $120 on the GX-100

I believe they modeled the new Gaiking after this poster which is not anime accurate, at least not the face: Anime face:

Daikumaryu without a Gaiking feels very incomplete as "the ultimate release", and not everyone has a GX-27 (that was like a decade and a half ago...). But having it as an optional GX-100G is not a bad idea, and give us back the missing Daikumaryu weapons with price lowered would be a good trade off. But then, why would Bandai not grab more money from our wallets, silly us. This is the powered up face, but not the only anime face. The GX-100 has the accurate normal face.

This is the powered up face, but not the only anime face. The GX-100 has the accurate normal face. You are right about that being the powered up face, but the difference should be only in mouth plate. I was looking more at the rest of the face and head, proportions, and eye shape, size and distance. Maybe it's just me and others can't see the difference or it's not that important to them. In the end, I may end up selling my GX-27 anyway and keeping the new one just because I don't need two and space is already limited without this giant Daiku. The colors on the new Gaiking better match the new Daiku too.
