After playing with Gaiking for a few hours I've discovered that I love this figure, leg flaws and all. The figure is probably the best interpretation of Gaiking ever and I highly recommend it too anyone who loves Super Robots, Gaiking fan or not. Infact he's fighting Grendizer for the 1# spot of my favorite SOC's and might even be winning a little. I feel dirty .

Chen, it is okay to sell out your affections of grendizer to gaiking. Gaiking does have many things going for it and it is perfectly normal to want somethingelse. Every man occasionally desires to have some variety in their life.... so in your case, it was long overdue....

Hey Chen, do you mind if I ask what it is in particular that's making you lean to gaiking over grendizer? Is it the sheer size of the powered up version?
I too am finding I like Gaiking a lot more the more I mess around with it. I guess the finnicky nature of the legs is a big turn off at first, but once you get used to it and can get past it, you start to see Gaiking's charms.

I love the size of the powered up version plus I think the sculpt of Gaiking is just dead on. Also Gaiking has always been one of my favorite Super Robots and this is the first toy version that truly does it justice looks and design wise. Plus once you get past the leg problem, Gaiking is actually quite poseable and all the accessories really add to the fun quotient.

Gaiking really is pretty posable isn't he. Even in powered up mode the knees can bend pretty far, and it's actually more stable with the knees bent than standing up straight.
Right now the biggest problem of Gaiking for me has shifted from issues with the legs to the paint on the horns looking really cheap compared to the paint on the skull. The horns match the skulls much better on the GX-05R. Maybe it's because the paintjobs for the skulls weren't as nice with the GX-05R as the skull paintjob is for the GX-27. Still, Gaiking's great! There's some stuff I want to try with it, like putting the GX-05R's skull instead the GX-27's mouth alien-style or switching to the super weapon head and giving it the sickles from Garada for the maximum "bad guy" look.

Well the honeymoon is over. Grendizer is back to number one and Gaiking is de-moted to number two along with Great. Maz and Getter Dragon. I guess you never forget your first true love ;D.

That's good to hear Chen. I'm looking forward to getting my first Grendizer with the reissue of the GX-04S, and at its price, it had better be good!
(still liking the Gaiking more and more with each passing day. I put it back in normal mode and I definitely like it better like that, but powered-up mode is so cool too that it makes me want to buy another. I love all of the hands, especially the hydroblazer hand.Still, it's too bad Gaiking never had any swords or axes or anything)

Darn it, I may have to go back to bad song titles here. I've got the King right here by the monitor. There is no room on the toy shelf, or anywhere else in the den to put him. At least until I finish housekeeping, that is. I'll order the Grendaizer when it comes out, but right now Gaiking is King. I like it better than Zambot, and that's saying a lot. I've been messing with it, chaging modes, fists, and poses, and trying to find my favorite configuration. I like it every way- normal, powered up, on the base, no matter how you do it, this thing rocks!
Reunited, it transforms so goooood....

Ohboy, I hope you guys don't blame me if Grendizer doesn't live up to your expectations. With all the praise Grendizer get's I'm afraid he maybe to good to be true for you guys.

You're on the hook, Chen. If Grendaizer doesn't totally kick Gaikings butt, I'm holding you personally responsible. By the way are there any domestic vendors taking pre-orders? I've got twooooo gokins...JWM
