Okay, I'm impressed! It doesn't have as much of a "intentionally gimmicky"-look to it as most combining robots do today, I've noticed. The poseability does look awesome too.

Ah ha, I remember Lion... I

Ah ha, I remember Lion... I had a small cheap candy-toy style version of him when I was a kid. I can't wait to see the review of him!

Excellent review. You had me

Excellent review. You had me at the spurs. A robot with spurs is immediately awesome. It's one of those design moves that only the Japanese would make, like the recurring american football motif.

I agree, this is the best Brave robot I've seen yet. I almost feel like it should transform into a horse, though! lol

Man, this is the most

Man, this is the most tempting Brave robot yet! If only that big honkin' gun barrel wasn't attached to his back. The western motif on the rest of the robot is pure win.

Let me add that I really dig the little animation snippets you include in each review. I was never exposed to these particular shows as a kid, so it's very nifty to see them in action. The animation is exactly what I love to see in a robot show--with all the meshing gears and pistons during a henshin/gattai, shooting steam, etc. Bliss!

In Robot mode its no longer a gun barrel, its an oversized jet pack. C'mon Jape, use your imagination, LOL

You sure it isn't actually a transforming gun/ship that happens to have robot-cowboy-shaped kibble on it's back? LOL

Heh, I honestly do dig this

Heh, I honestly do dig this guy, but thinking about that huge jetpack made me chuckle all afternoon. My favorite thought:

"Sometimes you wear the kibble....and sometimes the kibble wears you."

Love the cowboy look of this

Love the cowboy look of this toy. But the design has always struck me as a re-working of Might Gunner of Might Gaine fame.

Actually anime wise Braves

Actually anime wise Braves transforming into giant guns has been going since Fighbird (Thunder Baron turns into a giant gun for Super Guardion and Great Fighbird to fire). Shadowmaru and Advenger also come to mind.

This figure looks amazing

This figure looks amazing and alot of fun, but I don't want to buy it and get sucked in to the 'maximum combination' Brave-aspect :(

The Third Dag

Gun Kid looks very impressive. I didn't know he had as many modes as he has, not bad for a gun that could probably give Megatron a run for his money. :D Great review. :)
