Yes- I've seen these two

Yes- I've seen these two before, but didn't know they were from "GaoGaiGar"! I've loved the symmetrical design of these... but I thought one of them was a ladder truck...?

Man, I really wish I'd known about the Brave Saga earlier. I've got three pieces from Brave of the Sun Fighbird (Fighbird, GranBird, and Draias), and I want the Thunder Baron and Super Garudian(sp?) to finish it off. (Draias is one of the founding pieces of my collection, BTW; got it X-mas '91 from our Japanese foreign exchange student.)
But, seeing the Fire Dagwon and such years earlier made me think that "Fighbird" wwould be as far as I planned to go.

Dan, thank you for sharing these with us!

Eva, another pair of symmetrical docking twin robots appear in GaoGaiGar, one in the ladder truck you are talking about and the other is a crane truck. I will be covering those soon.

There's actually a third pair of twin bots, this time females, one becoming a Dish radar thing carrier and the other a missile silo carrier; no idea if they ever got toy versions who.

Oh, I saw those on YouTube

Oh, I saw those on YouTube just the other day!

Unless they couldn't compensate for the differently-shaped torsos (which might not look the best in toy-form, but wouldn't be impossible), I'd be surprise if they didn't exist out there somewhere.

Unsafe at any Symmetrical Docking level

Not if you're Ralph Nader you don't! ;)

Rairyu actually flies around

Rairyu actually flies around on his dump bed all Son Goku style, which makes sense considering Fuuryu and Rairyu are Chinese built robots in the show. They also call out their attacks in Chinese.

I appreciate that. I've been waffling back and forth about getting them for that price. I might finally give in.

These look fantastic

I wonder why they're so hard to get a hold of? Anyway, are you able to say how tall the individual robot modes are?

Just an observation (hope I'm not spoiling the mood). The Chinese and Japanese Dragons can mix-and-match to form GenRyuuJin and GouRyuuJin.

There were no transforming Kouryu and Anryu toys ever made. Takara did not make any toys for Gaogaigar Final.

HA!

I love a review that makes me laugh AND want to spend more hard earned cash on toys! Great review. Never owned anything from the Brave Series. Now I must... These guys are too cool. I may even get an extra pair to bash into TFAnimated MixMaster and Scrapper...

Wind and Thunder Trucks

Based on the Japanese gods; Fujin and Raijin, though ironically enough in the anime they were built in China, these two are simply made for each other. Takara certanly knew what they were doing when they produced these characters. Superb review on these great toys.

I can't say his face

I can't say Gekiryujin's face looks like Optimus but more of Bruticus because both are military robots and the same rank applies for Gekiryu. Blows my mind..

Bruticus..angry..Bruticus...smash...Gekiryujin.
