just like the Yamato

it looks like his red arrow leg piece also falls off. how annoying. will we have to glue this one in place as well or are they just demostrating that it comes off to form his double lance? HMMMM?

Just saw it live in Lucca Comics and Games.

And it's awesome!

Be warned, though, this baby is SMALL. It's roughly SRC sized(give or take an inch). You can easily see it in the GodSigma picture, but I found that one tends to overlook this by simply looking at pictures.
This version of Danguard Ace clearly blows the Yamato off of the water in more ways than one, but I wonder why Bandai went this way with one of the biggest (in anime) robots out there...
My best guess is that they did to pay homage (again) to the vintage one, the split seam on the chest being another proof of that. Which brings up another question: why does Bandai go so heavy on tributes to the vintage in the latest SOCs? Any guess?

Btw, the comparison with Yamato was made even more evident by another booth that displayed a Yamato one (there's a reprint coming along, for those who may care...)
