Hrmmm...

Genesic is my all-time favorite super robot... but if the poseability is THAT stiff and poor, I'm glad I never tried harder to shell out cash for one of these. Maybe the SRC line will make a GGGG sometime...

Nice looking figure and a solid review, my purchasing tastes aside.

yeah

yeah for posability...I did order the super robot chogokin version of this guy...Max factory arms pose well and legs do have ratchet joints just seemed hard to get very bendy poses

Nice review

I always loved this released but skipped it due to the fragile of the figure (I play with my toys),

AJ, please, I beg you to go and watch GaoGaiGar Final. You need to understand all the gimmicks this figure has, It's fantastic.

Let me mention a few
the smoth drills are ment to mimmic the moving drills, the others one with the spikes are ment to be the still ones.

the claw like hands are the Genesic Hell and Heaven hands, for this pose, the bits of gadget feather tail detach from it and form the claw hands that go over the regular hands.

The handle of the will knife is gadget feather head, all the bits that detach from the tail. are the base for each gadget , hence the name of gadget gao (the bird like mech that makes the wings)

please, go watch GGG Final , for me at least, is the most fucking awsome, robot on robot action you'll ever see.

Sadly, no...

The King of Braves, awesome though he was, did not sell well here. The sequal wasn't picked up. :(

Of course not!

He is courage given FORM and hope made STEEL! He is the infinite possibility a new beginning brings! HE IS THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION, FORGED TO FREE THE UNIVERSE FROM THE ETERNAL DAMNATION OF AN ENDLESS STATUS QUO!

... I'm letting my inner fanboy run a little too free.

Ahem.

I concure, good sir.

A few years ago, I wanted the HECK out of this thing when I was on my major GaoGaiGar kick. Now, I've calmed down and I don't want it quite as much, but it is still such an impressive piece. Great review!

I've never watched GaoGaiGar,

I've never watched GaoGaiGar, but have always loved the mech design, and this one is no exception.
For me, one thing that makes it shine even more is that hair, it's completely insane and fits the design, differently from some other mechas that also have hair (I'm looking at you, Gundam Nadleeh).
I hope Bandai releases a Super Robot Chogokin of this guy soon, then I will take the opportunity and watch the show.

Thanks for the review!

Just Remember...

Genesic GaoGaiGar (And GaoFighGar) only appear in GaoGaiGar FINAL, the OVA sequal. Only GGG and Star GaoGaiGar appear in the main 49 episode TV series.

I have the first release and

I have the first release and I must say that although it looks fantastic with loads of metal it has to be the most banged up toy I own and display. The left leg snapped off, the left arm broke off at the upper shoulder and the teeth of Galion fell out ( thank god for gorilla glue lol). I have thought about getting this version since I love the design and the basic "concept" of the figure but prices are way too high. So I'll just keep it on display and just not touch it and hope Bandai will make one in either the SRC or SOC line.
