Regarding that factory defect on the leg, it looks like the legs are identical. Maybe you can swap the left and right lower leg pieces, so the defect will only show up on the inside of the left leg. If I'm wrong, then oh well... Looking forward to getting my hands on this guy, but I agree the lack of accessories is somewhat disappointing. I think it all comes down to the amount of plastic used overall. Kaiyodo probably considers that golden skull to be an accessory of sorts...

The posability looks amazing...everything a Super should be, IMO. I'll likely pick this guy up along with an overdue Mazinkaiser as well. The show is actually pretty fun. It's telling that Gaiking's design has remained largely faithful to the original. Ahead of it's (original) time? Perhaps. ----- "And I'll form the head!" I really like this Gaiking.
