Supa nice!

[roanstalker]

Yep. Definitely. I got mine in the mail on Friday. One problem I've had is the wings being kind of heavy for the weak and smallplastic bit witch attaches to the tail thing. One snapped but its fixed now with a bit of super glue. Very cool looking figure. Dont like how the hands are connected to the low arm. Basically the visible albow joint is connected to a solid white piece with a ball joint connection at the end, the low arm outer piece slides on kind of like a glove and then the hand with a hole for the ball joint connectioon fits in. Its kind of annoying to exchange the four extra hands. This guy is poseable. But because of the design its haampered slightly. The arm cant really swing forward all the way because the chest 'wing' gets in the way. Also the sword is kind of problematic because the wings on the hilt are so damn big. Cool it may be but it makes the sword slightly too heavy and he cant put the sword on his shoulder because of a combination of chest wing and hilt wing. The bow is alright. It 'completes' the figure. The connection isnt really too good but its ok. Its a great rendition of Great Baangaan overall. It looks physically better than the upcoming Cm's Transformable Great Baangaan but it can't transform. A bit drawback for some. Well, I for one love it. Here's some of my pics taken with my phone so the quality's not the best.

Thanks for sharing Roanstalker
I wonder if I have to buy this one or the Dx. I mainly use them for display and not for play and this action figure is cheaper. How tall is this figure ?

[roanstalker]

Its a bit taller than the average DX transformer (actually I'm comparing it to Classics Starscream). I'm tempted to get the Max Goukin one too when it comes out. But this one looks nicer than the DX one. I'm thinking of keeping the DX ones as Baangaan and Mach Sperion by themselves anyway.

Thank you. Sorry but I haven't any transformers, so how tall is it compared to CMS Brave Gokin Gaogaigair, or more like a gundam fix figuration ?

[roanstalker]

Oh. crap. I don't have any Cm's GGG stuff. Its definitely bigger than a fix figuration figure of which I have 3. Its a few cms taller than RX78 Ver ka. And if you count the cannones then he's about 7 cms taller. No measuring device used so not exact amount.

Thanks, your pictures have decided me : I've ordered the Great Baangaan action figure from CMS.

Yihaaa, got mine, good one ! hellric.over-blog.com/article-4723034.html

Noice!

[Lord Zarak]

i'm thinking to buy it.. but i don't know... is a trasformable one arriving soon from CMs?

[xiombarg]

I picked up the action figure also, and it's great, but if you can stand it I would hold out and get the transformable. Of course it's probably not going to be out for a LONG time, but I hope it will be worth it.

Hey, I'm planning on making my first CMS Brave Gokin purchase in the form of GaoGaiGar. It's really the only brave series show I have seen all of.

My question is, how do the CMS gokins compare to the likes of Bandai SOCs, or Miracle House gokins?

Also, is there a difference in quality between the first release GGG and the real colors version?

If CMS does a J-Decker Brave Gokin, I'd be on that in a heartbeat.

In terms of comparison to SOCs, so far the diecast content in the Brave Gokin line is variable.

In the GGG and GFG, diecast was limited to only the core units(Gaigar and Gaofar), while in the GodRaijinoh and Genesic GGG diecast was abundant in the legs and torso.







In terms of durability, SOC gets my vote so far, seeing as how all the toys CMs has released so far are transforming toys, which tend to have small pieces and transforming does a lot of "wear and tear" on the toy. It'll be a refreshing change to see what CMs can do with non-transforming toys(Goshogun and Patlabor Ingram are coming up next year).




In terms of detail, SOC also gets my vote.





As for Anime accuracy it's a tie.






To be honest it would've been nice if Aoshima did what CMs did, branch their line to include other characters, instead of just repainting Getter to death(an improved elbow joint system from Aoshima Gokins would be nice too!).

Oh and I would've really liked to see CMs continue the Brave Gokin as just a purely Braves line and release the other characters like Goshogun and Ingram under a different heading(since they aren't "Braves")

Maxfactory also had a lot of potential but the line(Max Gokin) just became very quiet for some reason.







So overall, in terms of ranking I'd put SOC at first place, then CMs(for having the guts to try something different and expand the line) and then Aoshima. But this is just my personal opinion.








BTW, sorry, I have no idea if they're any differences with the regular and Real Color(I skipped the latter).

I think the plastic used by Cms dont feel quite as sturdy as the stuff by Bandai or even Takara's Masterpiece Great Exkaiser. Playing with Raijinoh just makes it feel like its gonna fall apart on me.

Yeah, Brave/Yuusha fans have been clamoring for this bad-boy for a long time.

Some more than others my friend, some more than others.

Ive been waiting for him ever since i saw a pic from the brave saga games back when i first started with brave(that would be about 4 years ago, back when we could get braves for easy prices)

Ive played both brave saga games through to the end, own all sorts of obscure Brave saga merchandise(a poster, Baan Gaan model Kit, both games including the BS1 brave charge box special w/ Baan figure, the gameboy game Brave Saga Astaria, a Pencil board, the Great Baan Gaan figure that first came out, and i have the promo CD for the Brave Saga games with the shortened intro song on it.), so if anyone is going to get this Transforming DX, its ME

i love all the combiners for CM. i think this guy will cost like $200usd but i will buy it over any SOC or any Takara products.

[roanstalker]

I've been wanting this since finding out what this show is called. I've watched Brave since I was 5 but when I moved to the UK I didnt know what it was called so I only recently (about 3-4 years ago) got back into Braves. This maybe one of the most important Brave release EVER! Unless Takara decides to release this guy in better probortions and better price.

[choryujin]

I wonder if someday we will get to see some other brave saga robots like victorion or some astaria bots like gunber or zetta

[roanstalker]

I think the reason we havent seen much of them is the fact that they're not as popular as Baan Gaan himself. If it doesnt sell then companies dont make.
