    He has a swagger to him, no doubt. These figures are a real slippery slope...god damn it...

    Amazing, I'm blessed to own both - they look so good together and Dairugger SOC is such an amazing piece! Wow...

    That Tetsujin 28 is gorgeous. The paint is easily the most distinct and vibrant in my collection. The articulation is decent. It is an older model SOC. So it's not an FA. The one weird exception is he has no neck and no neck articulation. The head is part of the body. The sound effects are cool, but don't have a lot of volume. You need a quiet room.

    He has a ton of character for sure, and I have to admit that I am tempted by him. He left looks like a cartoon character come to life. Is that little box with the antennae and the knobs on it the remote control that operates the lights and sounds? If so, that’s some clever stuff.

    I don’t believe his head ever turned in the original show. No neck?

    Also check this toy out. Remind you of anyone?

    Sorry this is spam and not SOC but I thought the gokin & getter fans would see it here.

    Arcadia AA Gokin Getter 1 for sale. Lots of metal, beautiful finish and really nice figure. I was on a Getter kick a while back but thinning the herd now. $80 shipped in the US.

    Very quick takes

    - Good build. Lots of diecast and placed well.
    - The articulation is really good; would have liked "true" double joints in the elbows and the backside of the crotch piece to have swing panels like the front to allow for backwards hip swing by default.
    - Stupid simple, three minute transformation even hawking the instructions.
    - Really good, clean look to it. For having so many vehicles especially.

    A lot of the problems I've read between wobbliness, things coming apart, etc. I haven't even had. Not discrediting anyone but from my vantage point it feels like one that has objective things that could be better but those aren't even things that are being focused on vs. potential undeserved flack.

    Will get the video review done tonight and posted tomorrow.

    So now that some folks have had their GX-88 for a while...how's that scary chest-plate connection-point holding up for everyone? Having clipped mine on and off a bunch of times with no stress marks or other signs of damage, I'm starting to become a lot less nervous about it:

    Mines’s fine as well. I think if you clip it on/off in the order they show in the instructions, it will be fine.
