Total 90s kid.
I remember growing up with mainly Power Rangers with their Megazords and then the Brave Series with my trips to South Korea during my childhood.
Really wanted these toys and to watch all the episodes as a kid.

There is no point on arguing over sentinel prices. As I've said many times, sentinel is 30% overpriced, yet I've never regretted getting any of their figures. their engineering is the best and all their products look cool. I own old stuff from them that have better engineering than actual releases. And I've never had any issue with any of their products (I don't own their mazinkaiser, but I have their shin getter and is great). I'm pretty sure they taking on the brave series will give us the best representation of each mecha. Like I am not going to argue that Fire Dagwon looks amazing. It is the size that bothers me the most. Add that with the swords being in-store exclusives that would be hard to get. Like SoC Gaogaigar is 10" and 8" and under is like Voyager size for Transformers. Or was.

Well I am almost glad it was a figure based off a Brave Series I never saw growing up so I can skip this. Though I have seen the Oversized KO a few times way back when in Biglots.
I was always curious about said robot design.
Though the size of it is smaller than I expected. Under 8 inches is rather disappointing as that is a Voyager Size for Transformers Fans out there.

Well I was not expecting Dagwon but considering the only other ones to choose from that other companies have not done are Goldran,this and J-Decker;I can see why the competition is a bit fierce.

Made it worse since BBTS has to charge State tax now. So that is an extra $49 on top of $499 from where I am (CA). Can't go with them for anything with an import price on it these days. I am also getting taxed here in Florida as well since 2016 I think. So yeah. It is pretty sh*t. Same with Ebay.

Pretty good outing. Sadly I don't see any butterfly joints for the shoulders but otherwise it can do a decent Obari Pose it seems. Nice to know how well designed this figure is.

It will come out later as a sale product just like Gao has been for a while now … readily available Did yours turn yellow? Can you share some pics? Mine is not too bad yellowing but there is slight discoloration.

Just found a video with a better look at the Might Gaine figures as well as Kaiser and Gunner.

Might Gaine sample transformation. Might Gaine looks pretty good by itself (a bit skinny, but forgivable considering all the moving parts). But really have to see how well the execution of the release is. Its sort of a SOC without the SOC polish and metal. I am hoping it isn't going to be loose with the final product. Like the shoulders drooping down has me a bit worried. Also,no waist articulation again?

Honestly it will on sale, will wait for it. Gao is not much popular than his counterpart and you still find the R edition at good prices all around…. Just like it happened with Gaiking, then it will be a good bargain. I would like a Renewal Version of Gaogaigar with some adjustments and extra accessories like the much needed Protect Shade. Like the RG Gaogaigar had some stuff like ab crunch even for the side to side be a thing along with expanding thighs be a thing.

Thank God I managed to find a preorder just opened on HLJ.
This was right after I saw an order stop only to check later.

I do wonder how this will stack up against the SMP.
At least size-wise.
Cause as far as the SMP is concerned,that kit is pretty HUGE.

Aside from the missing dividing driver this GFG ended up being everything i wanted and more. Got it on hlj. This is the first soc in a while I remember selling out. But time will tell if it ends up shelf warming like the SRC or if it does well enough to get a few reissues. Now my questions are how they're gonna handle Repli gaogaigar. Honestly I may consider getting Repligaigar for maybe the improvements to the old mold. I doubt Bandai would do anything to it to be honest. The Real Grade kit really showed ways they could improve upon the mold to make it better.

Honestly I feel like Bandai has learned a bit from their initial Gaogaigar release.
Stuff like the expanding arms I feel was from the RG and really helps to bulk out GGG. Add that with effect parts such as the Phantom Ring was nice but I feel that and the Protect Shade should have came with the base GGG release.
Well,something to look forward to in a future Renewal in like 5 or 10 years. Genesic Gaogaigar I would love to see how Bandai handles cause some design issues come I such as the interlocking mechanism of Broken and Phantom Gao as well as the chest frills that comes from Gadget Gao's feet. I am guessing the interlocking mechanism would be solved with keyed sections each arm can connect as well as a release switch at the back would be something I would use along with a connection as well. Maybe.....

Sold out everywhere. Edit:I somehow managed to find one on HLJ. I managed to grab it on HLJ as well seem like it will complement my GGG nicely hoping at some point Pose+ makes a GFG as well & GGGG also. I still hate how the base Gaogaigar has an issue yellowing so easily.

Geez. Just a bit more costly than what I remember. Like $320 but Hell....May as well. It is cheaper than Pose+. Was there price information posted somewhere? I couldn't find it. I took the Yen Price and Coverted to USD.
