    Haha, it’s on display but doesn’t mean it’s coming for sure.


    And yeah, I saw that and kept “walking” by like I didn’t see it. Alalalala I can’t deal with all this shit anymore, lol!

    I assume it’s a lot of display. That would crush a collector. It’s like 5 years of SOC releases.

    Yeah, I’m getting dangerously close to having to tap out. Can’t take anymore.

    I'd love to see a reissue of the Getter G team. Poseidon and Liger are my favorite versions of Getter 2 and 3. Dragon also slaps, in part due to the crossed arms gimmic.
    I'll definitely be in on Getter Arc if it doesn't cost a fortune, but we'll just have to wait and see.

    I think Gordian looks great. My one concern is articulation at the hips and at the knees as a lot of SOC's don't do very well in this area and it's stopped me buying figures because of this. Baikanfu for example. There doesn't seem to be hip flaps but perhaps the joint lies low enough in the thigh that it doesn't need them?

    Has anyone seen any images that show more articulation in the legs than the image above?

    I remember there weren't images of Dairugger showing off leg articulation in previews either but it actually had that articulation anyway, so hopefully its the same with Gordian.

    Finally boxed away (and dusted!) my SoC Mazinger team earlier, which left me with a convenient display space for this lot.

    When combined I expect the articulation for Gordian from the waist down to be limited like Baikanfu. When not combined Baikanfu has pretty good articulation so I expect Gx-95 to be at least the same.

    Ok wow I didn’t know Baikanfu could hold such deep poses ...if it’s not too much trouble please could you show more of Baikanfu articulation? Do the arms have free articulation when not combined? I heard they could only move outwards OR forwards/backwards ..... Do the legs move up as well as outwards? Thanks

    Given the way the individual bots joints don't exactly line up in combined mode I think we won't get much more mobility than shown in the picture, although the knees might have a full 90 degrees bend. I hope I'll be be proven wrong and that at least when not combined the bots will have the kind of mobility shown by tturbozx66, but then the lack of dummy parts will hinder the aesthetic.
    The good thing is that from the pictures it seems Gordian can move the shoulders both forward and outward unlike Baikanfu, but I'm waiting a review to confirm that.

    That Chogokin Pac-Man is just all kinds of yes, haha.

    Kaneda's bike, you say? Which release in particular? For some reason I only have that one from like, 20 years ago in my head, haha.

    I think the 1/6 version. What can be an issue here is that the 1/6 Kaneda was made by Medicom as a partnership venture at that time. So I guess one will have to settle for just the bike.
