Maxfactory's diecast Godannar
Definitely one of the most photogenic robots ever produced
Thanks the number of joints in the toy, it's easily the most poseable super robot toy I've ever seen... the down side to it is that pushing the joints to the limit will result in paint chipping particularly in the knee area. (note: by "pushing to the limit" I mean trying to get the knee to go into a letter "V" position, the paint won't chip if the knee is at the 90degee angle position or more)
.. the good news is, if you're careful enough you'll be able to do decent poses without chipping. Except for the wrist area, excessive "hand swapping" will result in chipping in the wrist plug, but the black plastic covers help cover it up
I'm really hoping when Bandai makes a Soul of Chogokin Daimos it'll be this poseable ;D
HighKick
Jump kick
BTW, for some strange reason I can't seem to get the allen wrentch to loosen up the stand arm.. I didn't press it any further as the wrentch was starting to chip.

Weight comparison
-Genesic GGG - 910 Grams
-Mazinkaiser - 460 Grams(510 Grams -wings on)
-Godannar - 470 Grams
Over all the toy isn't bad, looks really cool(another eye-catching piece with great shelf presence from Max Factory) and has lots of articulation.
The only real downsides would be the paint chipping(which can be avoided if you don't put it in extremely insane poses and be careful with "hands swapping"), the tight display arm, also some folks may find the double chest articulation a bit on the "loose" side, especially when he's holding the big sword(I'm ok with it though). Finally.. the price is indeed a bit too expensive I think.
Oh yeah, another gripe I have is with the manual, it wasn't clearly labeled which screw went into which hole in the big sword...(or maybe they were and I just couldn't read the text.. the drawings sure didn't help)
after some trial and error, turns out the smallest screw goes into the handle, while the medium screw goes into the crest, while the biggest screw goes into the support arm on the display base.
For those who aren't familiar with Godannar and are wondering why he doesn't have that many weapons, it's because most of his attacks are physical.
