Looks good but I still prefer the SOC face design.

I made my purchase a few days ago due to good first impressions and now see that some had issues with it. I hope the QC gods smile upon me.

From the video review, it looks like while it is great, it is not a homerun, mainly on some of the weak joints and connections. Either the joints are loose, or the ratchets not strong enough to support the weight. The overall look and proportions are great, though I am not a big fan of the Dancouga face being so small and has that puppet mouth. No OVA wings and Black Wing does feel incomplete. I totally agree. The transformations of every robots is nothing new. Too much hollow parts and some sculp/design flaws... The whole looks is good but the price makes me "search and destroy" anything to avoid ordering this guy. This year has intense priced models (Pose Plus will release the GGG DX set and Baldios rescpectively in july and august, Blitzway is in the shadow too) and we are more than nitpicky due to the term "collector grade" and the rest of the bills are higher than ever... Ouch.

I have the Good Smile. This is the best Dancouga for me. Way better than SoC. Sentinel is close but I prefer Good smile because of size , heft. Style is for Sentinel

I’ve had this on my table for week out of the box just waiting for me to put this together but haven’t had time this week. But Big Moth feels solid.

How's the paint job for you guys? A reviewer on Amazon JP showed pics that his was already chipping paint or had air bubbles...

This thing is awesome. DX dancouga for sure. Also I thought the blue and red effects for the eagle fighter was a Amazon exclusive? Mine came with the blue effect. Also love the open mouth face. Really loving the fact more DX style figures are being released(blitzway Voltron and mazinkaiser, and this). The waist is a bit on the slim side but not a deal breaker. Haven't changed to the normal mode but it seems pretty easy to change. Definitely recommend this if your a dancouga fan.

I hope GSC reissues this later on, especially the Amazon JP version with both color effects. It appears Amazon JP didn't fulfill quite a number of pre-orders for it, resulting in GSC having to put out a statement on social media to ask those who didn't get theirs to contact them.

No paint or any type of QC issue on mine.
In fact, my only two complaints are conception issues: weak hip joints and the sword not being able to tab into the hand when the hands are in the base position.

It was rather surprising when this sold out on some stores, I expected it to shelf warm as very few large expensive figures sell out now.

People praised it as the best Dancouga gokin made. I am not a huge Dancouga fan, and already have the SOC GX-13 and the Sentinel Final Dancouga. Otherwise, I may have bought one myself.

Otherwise, I may have bought one myself.[/quote] This is my first Dancouga figure, but I really like it, and can see why some call it the best. GX-13 really shows its age, and while the combined form of the Sentinel was good(as long as you don't mind the stylized take) the individual components seem very lackluster. Only thing I wish this had was butterfly joints and an ab crunch, and maybe an optional static face without the articulated mouth.
