Well, after watching episodes 17 and 18, I can see now why they didn't release the Gaiking partners in toy form just yet. It seems there's a forth unit. The Killer Jaguar. Not sure yet how he combines with Gaiking. The pilot is D!ck Shinagami, a real scoundrel, "rebel-without- a -cause" type kind of guy as opposed to most of the Daiku Maryu crew who are goodie two shoes. He's also popular with the girls on board and has a "history" with Ruru.. hehe. Please click to view larger images. D!ck Shingami(hehe, the eyepatch is just a fashion statement, his right eye works perfectly fine ;D ;D ) Killer Jaguar -The Jaguar can run on water thanks to some sort of barrier gimmick. -The attacks on the Jaguar include "Zector Tail", shoulder vulcans and it can swallow Gaiking's Hydro Blazer and redirect it at his oppoent. ...Can't wait to see what the combined form looks like. Probably a shield or something that goes on the left arm. Hehe hopefully we'll see a giftset with all the units together in one box. Here's a photo of the upcoming Chogokin "Legend of Daiku Maryu" Gaiking toy in box(Image courtesy of Kaiser from Robot Japan). It looks like it definitely isn't part of the SOC line. Gold

Here's a comparison pick of the two gaikings from Bizzio over at Robot Japan. please click to view larger image .... hmm... Not what I was hoping for, the Gx27 seems superior somehow. Gold

The GX-27 looks superior because it's the buffed-up version. Also the shine of the chest makes it look bolder too.

Hehe some new info regarding the series Looks like the bad guys have acquired the "prototype" Daiku Maryu, called the "Daichi Maryu" which is more like a tank with the Miracle Drills and can launch "Vulking". No one is piloting the Daichi Maryu but Vulking is piloted by the current main antagonist Proist, Emperor Darius' evil daughter. The Daichi Maryu is invulnerable to all of Gaiking and Daiku Maryu's attacks and kicked all their collective butts. Daichi Maryu Daichi Maryu 2 Vulking Vulking 2 Vulking and Miracle drill currently the plot now circles around a race between the good guys and bad guys to get the second prototype the "Tenku Maryu" Tenku Maryu Gold

A quick review of Bandai's Chogokin GE-10 "Gaiking- The Legend of Daiku Maryu" Display stand (individual parts formation) Display stand(combined formation) The new Gaiking also sports new weaponry, such as the "Gaiking Shield"... and the.... "Gaiking Axe" The "Gaiking Shield" and "Gaiking Axe" are launched from the Daiku Maryu when needed, along with the "Gaiking Lance" "Counter Cross" The "Countercross" leg weapons can be attached to the end of the "Gaiking Lance" to form the "Counter Lance" "Zector Hook", a retacting grapple line, it's main function is to retrieve the "Puncher Grinder" punches fired by Gaiking. Unlike traditional Anime where the fired fist returns automatically, in the new series Gaiking has to manually retrieve his arm after firing it. It can also be used as an offensive weapon. The "Zector Hook" accessory is only an external attachement on the toy and doesn't really retract though. Finally, Gaiking's deadliest move (apart from the Hydro Blazer beam) is the "Face Open" mode. The plates of his chest and his face mask come off and the robot goes "Super Saiyan" mode, a la Dragonball Z. Offensive, Speed and Defensive powers are increased by ten fold, the only drawback is that the "Face Open" mode drains the Pilot's Flame power/life force. So over usage will kill the pilot(a young boy named Tsubawaki Daiya) ;D Here's a video clip of "Face Open" mode in action from Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=miEazqWrK68&search=gaikingComparison with the Soul of Chogokin GX27 "Old School" Gaiking. At first I thought the entire toy was just a rehashed Gx27, turns out they've made a lot of changes on the toy including the arms and legs. Regular mode "Powered up"mode Last but not least the display stands. (The central stands are identical more or less, it's the ones on the sides that are different) A few extra things of note - New Gaiking weighs 420Grams while regular Gaiking weighs 370 Grams and 460Grams when in "Powered up" mode -The new Gaiking's right leg has trouble locking in place. I'm not sure if this is just localized to mine only. It is somewhat of a big problem because Gaiking can't stand properly, unless you shift all of its weight onto the left leg. -there's diecast in the chest part of new Gaiking, only the jaw and the removable "Face Open" plates are plastic. The part underneathe the "Face Open" plates is diecast. -The chrome on Gx27 has more of an "mirror shine" finish while the New Gaiking has the Gx01R type "grainy" chrome finish. -The lower legs are still plastic(thighs, upper arms and feet are diecast though). -There are a lot of pieces that come apart easily, such as the "Face Open" chest plates, the wings and the "Puncher Grinder" fists come with a hair trigger release. Unlike the previous "Rocket Punch" SOCs, this one has the "posing" and the "firing" arm as a combo piece. so one set of arms is all we get. These problems might get annoying if you plan to pose/play your GE10 a lot. -Thankfully there are no problems with the main unit(Gaiking parts 1-3) interlocks. Gold

Question, where can one buy the complete series of Gaiking? Mind giving me a heads up? Id appreciate it that much! More power to you my brother!!

Thanks PapaBear Not sure but I think the series is still incomplete, I think it's still airing in Japan and plans to run into the 40-50 number of episodes, I usually watch mine via VCD, I get them from Kaiser anime shoppesville, I think the series has run into episode 26+. You can also try to download the episodes via bittorrent if you've got high speed DSL and time to kill Hehe, The cool Gaiking the Great video on Youtube shows us Proist getting her butt kicked, I wonder if Emperor Darius will still appear or if the series ends here?
