it is true that they have blocked the model for the copyrights? also heard that rumor.. tht's why it's a litle bit expensive from it's suggested actual retail price... also heard some rumors that the GX-33 comes from japan and not from hongkong mostly like any other soc.. but maybe what i've heard is wrong nor misunderstood.. i can be wrong..

i don't understand. did soc bandai release this bot without license from marvel? I can't imagine that they did, but this is just the sort of rumor to boost sales so I doubt it'll be denied any time soon

Definately won't be getting this. Spiderman there looks really corny, and the robot itself looks, well, cheap. Really dissappointed with this; they should have gave us some other robot as GX-33...

Sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree with you Nick. I'm sure you like a robot that someone else feels should have been given the SOC boot.
In either case, if anyone else wants one. Let me know, I have an extra.
And yes, they are licensed my MARVEL. Their logo is in the front.

The robot mode looks pretty good. I don't quite get the connection on the ship mode: A flying sphinx? Must be....... Spiderman! No- just doesn't add up, JWM hhahhaa but.. the issue is clearly solved with the spider web decals! It makes me wonder what the designer of the show was thinking. Probably a tie on with a show that never got launched and they decided to reuse assets

I read somewhere that the creator of the Japanese version, when the rights were acquired from Marvel, had every intent to keep it faithful to the US version. However, Giant Robots were the "thing" around that time so TOEI wanted a Giant Robot in there and had him make the changes to the character as well....

I was able to score a Leopaldon last night for $48US plus shipping. It's missing the big Spidey but I don't give a sh*t, I just want the robot!

Just got my Leopardon today, I love this thing ;D
I wasn't convinced by the whole part swaping concept, but now I have it in my hands it makes perfect sense.
Does anyone know if Bandai has / plans to release vinyl figures of any of Leopardons enemies pictured in the booklet? That would be the icing on the cake.
