funny how the thread is named TOP 3 yet you guys brought a full lists
I suppose this is the right thread to ask. I heard bad things about it, but for those who have it, how bad is the gx42 Kotetsushin? I wanted to get the ET one but prices has gone really up... never thought about the gx42 as an option, but maybe is not that bad...I read you guys. honestly i dont own it, but i saw alot of negative feedback about it, on top of that its a bit of an old release so even brand new it will be old
Is GX-40 and 40R that bad? I was recently thinking about picking one of them up. the figure in general suffers from poor engineering in general, the only different between the two is the GX-40 comes with less stuff but almost QCs free, on the other hand the GX40R comes with extra stuff but almost NOT QCs free, man the jet that came with it broke with me only touching it
i dont recommend picking one unless you are ok with all the things we mentioned

hello guys, since Bandai is celebrating the GX-100, i thought it would be good to see what are the worst SOC in your collections, 1 obviously rule, you must own or have owned the figure in order to make a legit point.
i will start
1. the GX-40R God Mars, this is easily the worst figure in my entire collection, even when it was released way back in 2008 it felt very outdated, the GX-40R was released in 2019 (11 years later) but they didnt even bothered to update the figure just a repaint with some lame accessories, and what made it worst is the fact that most units were loaded with QC's, for me it felt like it was a Toynami more than an SOC so it wins the first spot hands down
2. im sure most of you know its the GX-13R Dancouga, the only reason this figure is not at the first place is its actually a very old release, it was released in 2003, the technology wasn't even to close to what we have now, so i could give it a break, the R version was released in 2017 (14 years later) same mistake nothing did to improve the figure stability or to improve the figure in general, you could see how "vintage" its when you place it next to GX-94 black wing
i really regrets getting those two
3. is the GX-71 Voltron .... lol of course im kidding got your blood boil for a sec huh ? its just that i didn't have a 3rd so i was like lets make a fun one
anyways, would love to hear what the others thinks

i see alot of companies become so greedy lately, i mean this is the price of huge SOC combiner with ton of accessories, there is nothing that justify this asking price !
i really like the figure dont get me wrong but im not going to support this kinda of greed
this trend of less for more need to be stopped

"facepalm"
last time im saying this, "dont shot yourself in the foot and give them ideas)
for me i will not pay more that what i paid for the SOC
this will be nice to have but if the price is crazy i have enough Voltrons already

i would say lets not give them an idea about the price or what they should ask for it,
its exactly like telling a mechanic "oh im sure this will cost alot" the mechanic will overcharge you since talked loudly lol
if they priced it right i will try my best to get, if not then at the end i got the SOC + 6 others voltron figures
worth to say i hope the price is just right

Update: You got me go back and smell a bunch of fists LOL, and I do notice a rubber smell from GX-51 hands not presented in my other SOCs. It doesn't stink or not really strong, but when I hold it close to my nose and sniff, I smell it. Didn't expect that until you point it out.
this is exactly how to get covid LOL

alot of people thinks this will dethrone the GX71 as the best Voltron figure
i would like to wait and see more of this before i make my mind, and to be honest i dont think the SOC will goes down this easily tho,
It is cool to see Carbotix literally saying this with these videos: "Bandai, I am going to beat your ass!" Unfortunately, it may have come a little too late, as GX-71 reissues already filled most people's appetite on the 'ultimate Voltron gokin'. People will still buy this, but only for the more hardcore fans with money to spare.
the Ultimate Voltron gokin, is not out there yet
dont get me wrong i love the SOC, but i want more, i want an anime accurate Voltron, starting with white paint instead of sliver, LEDs in each lion eyes AND in Voltron eyes, cool effect parts, and Pose + level of articulation

I don't think it's a fair comparison to compare them based on size, or else every recent release should be compared to HasTak's WFC Unicron when it comes to size and complexity. And even comparing them, GX85 is a good deal less complex or detailed, and at it's core is a touched up Legacy Titanus. This even caused issues as it was very clear that it was not designed to hold GX72.
i know but show me a figure in the SOC line thats kinda close the GX100, only the GX85 stand out, also im comparing two figures from the same line
not sure if you have the GX85 but its not a plain figure, when push it forward the front feet moves, also its very detailed and heavy, most of us thought it will cost alot but Bandai managed to keep it reasonable
im not comparing them directly since the GX100 was going to be a DX but im trying to understand why they priced it this high

Nice to see you again S. Hope everything is OK. The asking price is close to what we have been seeing lately, ccs, pose +, riobot. I dont know if it is OK but this are the new price point. I'm priced out here and I feel this will happen many more times now.
thank you man, and yes things are getting better
i agree with you, but if they keep these price's up most of us will be out of the game, and the lucky few will be limited to what they really really want

I don't think there was any doubt it would continue. Just look at how many Figuarts they have released.
it doesn't matter how many they released my friend, look at the vintage lines
also its a Japaneses habit not to go above the number 100 and if the reach it they will change the naming system and start all over again
last point we saw those blueprints but not sure are they planing them or they got canceled, remember Jeeg ? if im not mistaken they showed it in a book along with the DX Grendizer way back in 2017 but where are they 4 years later ?

this is really amazing, another good looking Voltron
what i like the most about it, is they found a simple yet a cool way to hide the lions legs, i really hope the articulation is as good as the SOC
i really really hope they dont overprice it
