    Oi, yeah, I have a goodish 7-changer KO. For like USD7. I got it locally in Indonesia. You can probably find one in taobao, but as always, buy BIG from taobao to make the shipping worth it.

    There you go, my 7-changer KO, with Quickswitch KO and oversized Sixshot KO

    That Sixshot KO doesn't look oversized, it's looks regular sized. Sixshot is just that big.

    I've thought about getting the 7 Changer KO that's on eBay right now, but for that price I'd rather have the real deal.

    I think that's archieboy's site. I agree, there is some great stuff on there. Is it me, or does Great Fighbird remind me of Star Saber?

    i can see where your coming from the colour scheme def helps to push that look, the fact they have swords and the face plate does it as well

    Star Saber is pretty much a proto-Brave figure in the first place.

    Hey, yeah that's my website! :D 

    Great Fighbird was what got me into Braves. I bumped into it (this very same fig in the photos) by accident last year in one store here in HK. It was selling for cheap since one of GFB's head spikes was broken (you won't even notice it from looking at the pics now).

    Weirdwolf hit the nail right on the head: having Great Fighbird in hand gave me an unmistakable Victory Saber feel, which was my holiest of holy grails then. So I did bit of research about Braves, and discovered this thread. I managed to get some other Sonokong Braves at very good prices here in HK: Might Kizer, Gaogaigar, Land Bison, Pegasus Saber. Then I went to eBay to score the other cheaper figures: Deathgarry Gun, Goldymarg, Super Guardion. Then I just had to get them all. There has been no looking back since. :)

    And one in HK with same problem and some other reports here and there. The piece is pretty thick so I wonder why this is?

    Haha, yes you can :) 

    These are Chinese Mechanical Chain Bases, basically a KO of a Kotobukiya product. I get them from a local store at around 5 USD a pop. The setup that I have now is made up of 10 units.

    A forum member has them on sale on the Junkion section if you're interested.

    Man, Dinogeist and Red Geist are so high on my list, but I never even see them for sale. Is there a place to but Brave that I'm not familiar with? Nearly all of mine have been ebay purchases.
