LOL Seriously, I planned to do the Mattel and then Famosa Gaikings next... (Unfortunately, I don't have a Popy or Nacoral Gaiking, yet though.) Nice call about the wings though. As an adult collector who really only displays my toys, I sometimes either forget or don't even realise which points are prone to breakage, simply because I treat them all very, very gently. Especially my Jumbos. "This must be settled the way nature intended....with a vicious, bloody fight!" Onyx Blackman Principal, Flatpoint High Hey, hey, c'mon...I got a review to write next week!

Those were heavily modified from the Japanese release for the US market back in the late 70s. This new version is based on the original Japan Popy version, so it is a very different beast. The old Shogun Warriors version can be had on ebay for not too much money (relatively speaking). ------------------------------ CollectionDX Admin The Mattel Shogun Warriors version of Gaiking had a jointed right elbow and a firing fist.

I remember it being a lot sturdier than the new one. While I like the opening face I would have traded that for a firing hand.

I let my nephew play with this and right away, he broke the tabs clean off. ------------------------------ CollectionDX Admin I would also mention that the tabs on the wings can break off if handled improperly.
