>>23948474I tried to take one of the hands off. It wasn't even necessary. Its barely noticable though from 5 feet. As in. Its actually not at all.

the SoC Exkaiser is out
>>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?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCvaShSLJCM
>>23954304>>23954074Mine's out for delivery today.>CM'sI have CM's J-Decker PVC toy sitting on a shelf, propping himself against the back because the joints were always too late to stand.Single biggest piece of shit I've bought.
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.
After seeing J-Decker, GGG and Da Garn, which one should I watch next

Yerp.I'll take a look after my evening shift
Any of you guys have any luck keeping it from flopping on the stand? The other users are right, he is nice and hefty in the legs and the frame. Well worth the price.Sorry I had to use the shitty flash because it's raining outside.

Hey look, a Renais cosplay in the year 2026 even if it's just shilling her GaoFighGar.
>>23954305bigger in every parts
>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.

Apparently, reissues for the Kotobukiya Da-Garn and GX Parts are up a few days ago, and might come out next year. If anyone doesn't have that and Da-Garn X at a reasonable size and price, now's the time to pre-order.
More pics.

>>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.
