>>23947962>>Action Toys Duke Fire in development, J-Decker finally released (delayed FIVE FUCKING TIMES, worse than Evolution Toy Fighbird, first in July 2025, then October, November, February 2026, and finally June)It's already released and from what reviewers said, it's a pretty good figure. Can't wait for my copy to arrive.
>>23954074I bought it too recently and apparently I'll get it on Monday. I'm still kind of wary of it because there was so many delays. If you've had experience with CM's and King Arts in the past you too would be kind of wary of small time/new companies.
>>23954067I still don't get why there are two of them. There's a one with a different frame or something?

Scale comparison.
>>23954356King Arts stuff can an indeed be stood but is brittle and tolerances are not followed very well so the joints fall out from the limbs and fingers fall off. Not as bad as CM's but lawdy.>>23954373That might be accurate given that GGG is pretty short. Not as short as Dancouga but p.small. Which one did you get? The regular or the action frame?
The Exkaisers.
>>23954427The SoC includes the action frame as a partsforming optional part
>>23954447Oh good. Does it also get a stand for storage?
J-Decker arrived... also the IR-01G third party Star Saber. pic related, line up from THE GATTAI Da Garn through to the CM's J-DeckerPictures don't accurately give you an impression of how much heft the J-Roader has from the diecast. The gloss of the plastic is really good looking.

>many models>no new animeyea I blame Bravern
>>23962334There hasn't been a show for decades why the heck would you think they would all the sudden make one now? The only reason they're making models and figures now is to cash in an millennial money. No reason to make a new show because kids today could care less. Lmao
>>23962837Good Smile isn't making Gattaishin out of the goodness of their hearts. They clearly saw the money they made from Bravern merch and decided now is the best time start a new yearly super robot series.

>>23974955It take it SMP is just the SOC one but smaller and plastic. Same dimensions, joints, and everything.
>>23976446Which explains the brief brush-up that happened last year. Takara Tomy revealed the Toyrise version, so Tamashii Nations went back to the drawing board and redid the whole thing from scratch.
Based on the PR they put out for Ex Kaiser they must have spent a lot of time or money doing the changes, so are desperate to sell the thing. I've never seen that much social media around any SOC before.
>>23976859Oh also. We know Action Toys reworked J Decker for years so maybe they should have made that point about that on social media too.

GOLD FINGERS.I think I'll do the regular hands that way too because that's the way it's supposed to be not Orange. Probably the fact that gold plastic is flimsy they didn't with the hands that way.

Senpuuji Maito's birthday.https://www.sunrise-world.net/titles/birthday_08.php#birthday0824
is the eldoran license any cheaper than brave?
I saw a clip on twitter, but when the timeline updated it disappeared and now I can't find it again. I thought it showed a blue police robot with a brave-like design (Deckard?) interacting with several other (4?) rude police robots that looked mostly the same among them, blue and white with cloth over their joints like Labors. I looked into J-Decker and apparently there were never multiple identical police robots there, so it must have been some other show. They definitely had brave-like faces at least and the animation looked late 80s or 90s style.
>>23993575There are generic police robots that are piloted in the show but they are gray. The other thing you see that our police robots that look like deckard are the enemy copycat units used in the later half of the series. I assume it's just a comedy piece with deckard talking to the patlabor guys.

https://twitter.com/666nao999/status/2092185629723627718Fujisawa's drawing process of Kaido and Mamoru.
>>23993289Probably more expensive. Remember, only Takara Tomy, Good Smile and Bandai ever made toys of them (the last one were High Grades, which would be thrown into the Shadow Realm in light of the Go-Saurer MODEROIDs), and as another anon said, ArtStorm just got the license to produce a full transforming version similar to the old Tomy toy. Yes, it is more expensive than Brave. But I'm still anxious about how we still don't have a physical Sworgrader toy, even the AMAKUNI KIZIN that was announced 2 years ago is just nothing but stuck in development hell.
I added the DVD subs to the Da-Garn Blu-Ray rip and uploaded it to Aniarena.If you're interested plz seed and consider uploading it to Nyaa so it gets more exposure.Also plz SEED.https://www.anirena.com/?q=user%3A%22SteelBeowulf%22

>>23998103What the fuck man, this has Gunmax at the end not Duke Fire.
>>23998371for good reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXfh0jWL_Uw
>>23998450So everyone is brave police but decakard is hetero. Hmmmmm. All 4 build team have gfs, Duke does too. Shadowmaru is celibate because he's a ninja. I don't know what to think of this.
>>23998452Deckard riding behind Gunmax and shattering Gunmax's doubts by telling him that he'll never leave him was 100% of the fuel all the yaoi girls - JP, KR and EN alike - needed to ship them togather
>>23998103>$200Man if I wasn't a simp for J-Decker.
>>23998455>>23998452Deckard is the only one allowed to pull Gunmax's trigger (after he taught him how to not pour fuel directly into his crotch).
>>23998371Duke Fire was announced back in the last Mecha Smile Impact. GunMax is more recent, literally on the very trailer itself.
