Pretty cool, but I think I

Pretty cool, but I think I like the Fire Dagwon better. This one looks a bit too blocky for my tastes and that big drill arm seems awkward in robot mode. I picture this guy struggling to keep from falling to the right. lol.

I agree Dave, he is blocky.

I agree Dave, he is blocky. But, believe it or not his weight makes him an extremely well balanced figure with surprising articulation (for a Brave series figure) just check out the picture with the custom CollectionDX Vegitius to see what I mean

Wait until you see Power

Wait until you see Power Dagwon combined with Gunkid. In the show, he uses the big arm to brace himself while firing Gunkid.

Can't you use the DagFire

Can't you use the DagFire figure from the Fire Dagwon set with this one as well?

Great observation! Yes you

Great observation! Yes you can take the Dag Fire transforming figure that is included with the Fire Dagwon set and place it in Power Dagwons chest.

The plastic

How's the toy's plastic quality? I've been considering buying some of these Sonokong reissues, but I'm concerned about the plastic quality compared to the originals. I have originals of Might Gaine and J-Decker (both unfortunately incomplete), and the plastic on both of those toys is very good, very sturdy.

The plastic is the same

The plastic is the same exact quality as the original. Actually they are the same toy essentially.

Maybe, but I've heard some unsettling things about the Sonokong toys before... like, for example, a Land Bison set with two left hands.

I hear that, but like anything else, you will come across a bum toy once in a while. That surely doesn't make them all bad.

That and some have missing

That and some have missing paint (Granbird/Great Fighbird, Dagarn X's faces etc) or just the paint apps/sticker quality sucks (Super Guardion's helmet is black instead of dark blue and the 'blue' stickers are now purplk???).

Hey, I've got a little

Hey, I've got a little candy-and-toy version of that thing. Good to finally know what it is! I knew it had to be some sorta combiney thing, since it's got a big shovel on it's shoulder.

The Second Dag

Power Dagwon looks very impressive, that dragon head on it's chest certanly looks like it means buisness! :D I guess because of that smaller DagFire figure, the standard DagFire figure from the DX Fire Dagwon won't combine with it. Ah well at least Takara tried I guess, if that's the case. Overall it looks like a nice little companion piece to Fire Dagwon. Great review. :)
