You know how in Star Trek

You know how in Star Trek everybody would be staring at some strange unexplainable space thing and Spock would say, "Fascinating captain"...

So I picture the design process as being a small senior design team cutting up cheap plastic animals and then ramming them together while a dozen assistants with glue guns orbit around the designers applying liberal amounts of glue and blowing hard to hurry up the drying process.

"Quickly Jiro, more glue, more glue! We must seize the moment!"

So it's sort of like Picasso. Then they hand it over to the 3D guys.

Hahaha. I think you may just have uncovered how PLEX designed this line.

I paid about $120 for the Kyoryujin, $120 for Bragigas, and about $35 for Parasagan and Zakutor. So I ended up paying about $310 for all the pieces of the Gigant Kyoryujin.

Magnificent!

It's magnificent!

Those colours and anatomy remind me of a G1 dinobot.

The bit where you reveal the 13 guardians sold it for me! I love a robot that tells a story. And the sculpted gold relief and asymmetry.

How would you compare this final combo to the Samurai HaOh?

I am with you. This design

I am with you. This design really grew on me when I actually got a chance to handle it and spend some quality time with it.

I can't really compare the Gigant Kyoryujin to the Samurai Ha-Oh because I have never handled the Ha-Oh. I only own the Shinken-oh, the Daikai-Oh and the Kajiki Origami. I could compare the Gigant Kyoryujin to the GigaZord, which used to own, but that would be like comparing apples to oranges.

That being said, I like the Gigant Kyoryujin better than the Samurai Ha-Oh because the design is much simpler. I like that they didn't try to cram all 10 Zyudenryu into the design of the final mecha. It is less of a clusterf&$ck of a robot.
