    Norihiro has been posting several arts of the Brave characters in the past few days, some of them are still missing though, but I'm not sure if he'll post them in the future.

    Yes, at least one. I have a KO, but it doesn't have the 'gradient silver' for the windows.

    Thanks. I know there was a Happywell KO where the trains were a darker gray, but these are nice and white. The plot thickens...

    Nice. All cool toys in their own right. Though I'm more partial to Great Dagarn GX since he's the first Brave show I watched way back in the 90s. I REALLY need to dig through my boxes and display these guys haha.

    I find GX to be slightly better proportioned as well, does result in being a little shorter than the other two, but Fighbird and Dagwon are pretty hefty anyway.

    I long for the day when I've the room to display all mine together!

    Just curious. Who does everyone rank as the best and worst upgrade/4th member/support mech? Best/worst Great Brave upgrade? Talking about toys here, not the shows :) 

    I'd say best 4th member goes to Hawk Saber because of how drastically he changes Sky Saber into Pegasus Saber.

    Worst 4th member, for me, is either Fire Silver or Dag Drill. They just don't add anything to the 3 member toy.

    Best Great Brave upgrade is Great Goldran and then Great Fighbird.

    Worst upgrade would have to be Great Dagarn GX. Gaohn is just so clunky and doesn't do it for me.

    Anyway, just thought it'd be something fun to discuss.

    Good post, something to think about. I don'y have any answers yet, though.

    About the fourth member, do you mean in terms of the combiner? Because I agree that Hawk Saber has a huge impact on Pegasus Saber, but he really sucks as a stand alone toy.

    Ok I'm in.

    Best 4th combiner def Pegasus Saber (though Hawk Saber does suck). Worst I'd say is Horn Bomber (really boring toy overall).

    Best Great Brave is Great Goldran (especially Bling Bling Edition). Worst is Fire J-Decker (I love it, but just LOOK at that battle apron).

    I guess a clarification or two. I'm thinking which 4th member is the best because of what it adds to the 3 member combiner. Most of the 4th member toys are lacking on their own.

    Note on the Great Braves, I was excluding guys like Gun Max, Lian, and Might Gunner since they're just tack-on weapons.

    Agree with Hawk Saber, not only beefs up the combo but takes it to a whole new physical shape! I'd also agree with Dag Drill, not much of an upgrade to earn a 'Super' moniker.

    Best upgrade is Great Fighbird, looks more like a whole new bot than a merging of two separate ones.

    Worst upgrade is easily Perfect Great Might Gaine, just looks awful to me, stuff stacked on top of stuff with colors all over the place. Ick.

    Bahahaha Triangle Christmas BEAAAAAMMMMMUUUUU! Not the prettiest final combo but possibly most impressive. Love these guys (Tbh I dont think theres been a DX Brave toy I've hated?).

    First toy combo I've had that now definitely needs two hands to pick up. Wasn't even going to get Gunkid and Lian at first, always thought the final combo looked daft, but then Youtube and stock footage happened.
    It is ridiculous but also chromey and glorious.

    Lian's roar is also damned loud!

    There are DX's and combos that I don't like the look of, but in hand I doubt I'd hate any Brave DX. Always something redeeming.

    Got Super Linder Dagwon and Shadow Dagwon incoming too, figured I may as well!

    It's funny how the Triangle Christmas Beam is treated as Super Fire Dagwon's ultimate attack when it only was used in one episode :p . But it's still awesome, so who cares? xD

    Anyhow, look what found on YT

    Interesting, specially due the fact that we don't really know how this guys actually transform. Kudos to the guy for somewhat figure it out.

    I like Shadow Dagwon a little more than the rest. There's just something so awesome about a combiner made out of triple changing ninjas.

    Cool find!
