Their price was better than I expected Expand I couldn’t pull the trigger on that one. For $200 bucks and 22cm he’s barely bigger than SoC Getter Robo and Emperors supposed to be a big ass spaceship. I want him to be as big as SoC Voltron, Daltanious, Iron Gear or GaoGaiGar. Pass until it’s cheaper. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Thanks for that heads-up about the Swordfish on CD Japan, just picked one up there. Demand not too insane apparently, they should have 4 left now. Quote

With prices nowadays I think 220 is pretty good. Quote

JB0 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Best part of SoC Gunbuster is the display stand styled like a service gantry. Which isn't to say that it is NOT a cool toy, because it is and I totally wish I had one. Quote

JB0 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I might've been engaging in a bit of hyperbole. (I DEFINITELY wouldn't pay SoC prices for the stand without a really good robot toy.) But I do love the display stand, and feel it compliments the main toy in a way that few such stands do. Quote

Expand Really? I feel like SoC stands in general are just great in the fact that they all really fit the character but the stylization of Gunbuster's really does stand out. It's an aspect of the line that I personally underrate, even. The Max Gokin stands are also something else; specifically Mazinkaiser. ----------------- Circling back to the actual products though, I'm at a conundrum... I've held SoC Voltron as the best in the line for a while now but I look at the insane engineering, advanced articulation, accessories, awesome stand, and even how clean the robot mode is kept for the transfornation involved and I really have to ask myself if Gunbuster isn't technically BETTER than Voltron.

JB0 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I can't answer that. I'm unable to be objective about Voltron. But Gunbuster is a much more impressive feat of engineering. Quote

Expand I love Voltron but the Gunbuster is the better toy. Only because robot form Voltron has the lion legs. That bothers me now because it's not like that in the anime. For some reason it didn't bother me that much as a kid. I guess because I just had a solid feeling Voltron. For me Gunbuster will be better until the hopeful Action line Voltron is released. Quote
Kuma Style Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 @JetJockey Honestly, Gunbuster murders Voltron in every category minus the squeaky clean combined mode of Golion. I think this honestly may be the most articulated SoC while having one of the more complex transformations as well. ab crunch, butterflying shoulders, etc... GunBuster is just miraculous. Hell, I realized so much about this thing pulling it back out that I actually bought a second which got here today: Quote

fenrir72 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I got the Star Gaogaigar CMS version complete ver 2 (#25) for just $50.00. Sure it ain't the Bandai version but quite a find given the technology when it was first realised. Other SoC I got are General Daimos (his panels were already scratched straight from the box and that painted shoulder joint(WTF?!)) Aside from those issues, amazing recreation of the anime figure (head swapping ain't a biggie) My 2nd is Danguard Ace. Hands down awesome, despite his size. 3rd is Mirai Daltanious. Another amazing fig. Too bad he got non of those spikey yoyos. 4th Default Aflodai, Venus and Minerva. Can't seem to find Diana with enough cash on my card at the same time. Next target would be Brave Raideen Quote
