I just received mine yesterday and I love it! It's just the regular version but I'm so impressed by it and I love it in Satalizer mode. I do agree with Gold though the javelins on the shins do come off to easy, I don't know why they didn't have it were they attach from top to bottom instead of side to side!?!? Other than that it's amazing, I tried displaying it with the other big SOC's but to me it stood out to much. You can tell right away that it's not a SOC cuz it lacks the little details but it is a amazing piece.

I personally like the original better than the metallic and/or the chrome. It is way more anime accurate, even when there is not too much difference between original and metallic colors. I am very happy with my original color DA and would not trade it for the world...

Well I just bought a regular version from Angolz, the price was just too good to pass up. First thing I'm doing when I get it is painting the neck and head silver and getting rid of that robot beard it's got. Hey Chen out of curiosity how much did you pay for the DA from Angolz? I hadn't checked for few weeks and when I finally did just now I realized they lowered their price. I broke down for the second day in a row and bought it too! There goes my toy budget for May. Can't wait to get it though!!! Thanks.

I paid $164 + 43 s/h which was the cheapest I could find. Anyways I love this figure so much I couldn't help taking pictures of it. Forgive my meager photographic skills but I'm still figuring out how to use my camera. Plus it hit me, with Danguard now I finally can complete one of my childhood dreams..... FORCE FIVE!!!

Wow, then Angolz must have JUST lowered their price on the Danguard Ace, it's now selling for $135 + s/h.
Pictures look great! I love the one with the 3 G's figures - Grendy, Getter + Gaiking. I think I'm going to really enjoy the Danguard!!

Sonovab*tch!!! Damn I could've waited like one week and saved another $30.00, oh well, but at that price I'm pretty tempted to buy another one!

it's definitely a great deal. I was debating between this and the metallic version, which cost quite a bit more. The $ saving win this time.
Statuetoys have all 3 versions on pre-order for pretty good prices. I have never sucessfully ordered from them. The one time I did try they refunded my money because they didn't have what I ordered. I wonder if they will actually get all 3 version of DA in stock. If they do they'll be the cheapest option to get the metallic version.

Sorry for Photoshopping your pic, Chen, but I couldn't resist. I know a lot of people weren't fond of Spaceketeers (aka Starzinger) series, but I actually liked it.

I don' mind at all and as soon as I took the picture I wish I had something from Starzinger/Spaceketeers to put in there.

You know, for the life of me, and I watched it every week for as long as it was n, I can not remember Spaceketeers. Every other element and character in Force Five is ingrained into my memory on tattooed onto my body. But Spaceketeers, can't even remember what it was about. Didn't they replace it for a while with another show? Towards the end of Force Five's run.

Nah they didn't replace it, it's probably because there were no giant robots or anything.

They changed something in the last year it was on channel 25 (if you are in Boston) but I can't remember what.
On another note.. what do you guys prefer.. silver or white for the legs and arms. I really like the white in Danguard over the SOC silver parts. I thought the DX Raideen with white instead of silver looked WAY better as well.
