DarrinG Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Yep - It would be painful to plunk down $1,500 on a vintage SHE Dangaioh only to have someone make one MUCH better, much cheaper. I am holding out hope. It just doesn't come off as a masterpiece like the price is commanding - otherwise I might still try to get it. I created an animated gif of Gil Berg's mech firing, I will paste it in here and see if it works... Hmmm - does not appear to be working... Edited August 20, 2013 by DarrinG Quote
DarrinG Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Got another SHE up for auction: https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-w90203926 danth - "You just picked yourself a cross fight!" - classic... Quote
mass driver Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Wow damn 500+ dollars for a small resin premade model and the auction is not finished yet. I confess I've never owned these boutique toys so I don't completely understand why they command such a high prices. I reckon it's because its perfect transformation, handmade, and its the ONLY transforming Dangaio available. You'd have to be a huge fan to plunk down that kind of scratch for it. I agree though... be patient. I'm sure someone else will get around to making a chogokin of it someday. Just like I'm hoping someone will make a quality transforming gaogaigar/gaofaigar/genesic gaogaigar chogokin. The cm's ones are only passable. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Hey I remember Dangaio! And I still have the VHS tapes also. Solid old school mech series, maybe someone like Discotek will rerelease it one day. Quote
DarrinG Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 The SHE ended at ONLY 71,000 - which is far better than the last auction that went for 141,000. Bet that last guy is kicking himself ( ! ) Quote
JetJockey Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Auctions are always strange like that. You get a higher one. The next might be higher or lower. It's always guess work. Depending on how many crazy people come out. Quote
DarrinG Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Picked up this CD and is not good - IT'S AWESOME! Seriously, fantastic. Going to try to get some Iczer 1 stuff too. Here is one for only 500 Yen - recommended . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-n124084245 Quote
Beltane70 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I miss my Dangaio CD! I still have my Dangaio 2*3 CD, though! Quote
JetJockey Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I still have that Dangaio CD in a box somewhere. I wish RightStuf would release the complete Dangaio on Blu-ray or at least DVD like they did the Dirty Pair. Quote
DarrinG Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Was outbid at 67,000 - went up to --- 154,000 ( ! ) https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-u61042007 Edited December 9, 2013 by DarrinG Quote

DarrinG Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Ha - 49,000 YEN Wanted that one for a while, just could not rationalize it . . . Quote
DarrinG Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Does anyone know anything about this pic? WF 2014 SHE Dangaioh? And a BLACK Dangaioh? Thought SHE was no more . . . Quote
DarrinG Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 BUMP - anyone know anything about this? Quote
JB0 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 BUMP - anyone know anything about this? Nope. Quote
Sandman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 The Black one is up on BBTS. Frickin expensive though. Quote
DarrinG Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I am not seeing it on BBTS under Dangaioh, Dangaio or Studio Halfeye - do you have a link? Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I want this but costs way too much Quote
DarrinG Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I don't want the black one - not sure where that idea even comes from. Its not in the OVAs to my knowledge. Interested in the anime colors though . . . need a link! Quote
Dangaioh Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Googled and Bing'd... and only found the Revoltech version: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=KAI10094&mode=retail Quote
JetJockey Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 First time seeing that black version. But it's not in the anime. So I don't need it. Quote
DarrinG Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I need a spare $1,2000 bucks it seems . . . http://www.hlj.com/product/SHE33057/Act http://www.hlj.com/product/SHE33058/Act Sure would be nice if it were only $600 for the whole thing, but even that seems crazy . . . Quote
DarrinG Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 SHE re-issue sets going for 63,000 and 99,000 - still a little steep for me . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-f149056609 https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-e156892989 Don't these prices tempt Bandai to try a SOC version? Quote
DarrinG Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 An unpainted SHE Dangaioh? It does not show what you actually get, the unpainted parts and packaging: https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-w120204756 Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Wow! The Dangaioh figures are really pricey now. Shocking. Maybe another release will reduce the price point? Also agree the black version is not from the OVAs. Probably just trying to mimic the popular Transformers Dark Convey colors. @ DarrinG: About time the Dangaioh OP close up cel sold! Pricey yes but there really aren't many close ups of the mecha circulating anymore. I interviewed a retired cel dealer from Japan and in the past, AIC destroyed their cels. So finding ANY cels from Dangaioh (mecha and character) is pretty amazing all things considered. Lastly, also completely agree with you about the Dangaioh CDs! Both of them are sheer awesomeness! Still have them. Now if some company would release a DVD R1 or BR complete set it would be great! Edited July 16, 2015 by Fortress_Maximus Quote
JetJockey Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 There were a bunch of Dangaio cels in a gallery linked from the old cels.org. I saved a bunch a long time ago. I'll check tonight to see if I can find the gallery. I believe it was a store as well owned by a guy in Europe. Quote
JetJockey Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Here are those cel links. The cels.org site has been updated too. I stopped checking it years ago.http://www.animanga.com/cels/gallery/yann/dangaioh.htmlhttp://www.animanga.com/cels/gallery/yann/index.html+0+drawingSeeing the gallery reminded me that I never watched Iczer-1. I need to check that out. I have the manga somewhere and I just looked up the opening on youtube. It feels like it's in the same universe as Dangaio since it's by the same guy. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I have these 3 Dangaioh cels that I want to get framed like this. I got one of them off Anime-link. Much cheaper to frame and matt them in Photoshop than real life. . . Quote
JetJockey Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 That would look nice. I still want a true sequel to Dangaio with the same art style. I read a bit about the new one but didn't watch it. I can't believe they ended it at the third OVA. There were more stories it seemed like from the small artbook. I have that one and a larger book somewhere around here. Quote
Sandman Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I always wondered about the 3rd OAV ending. Did they end it like that on purpose trying to be edgy or were they thinking they would continue on but got cancelled? Edited July 24, 2015 by Sandman Quote
DarrinG Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I really enjoy Dangioh for the animation, music and mecha designs - the entire writing and story were pretty awful IMO. So how they ended the last OVA doesn't really sting me that much . . . Quote
JetJockey Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I always wondered about the 3rd OAV ending. Did they end it like that on purpose trying to be edgy or were they thinking they would continue on but got cancelled? I read about what happened with that ending somewhere but can't find it now. Quote
