Oh ok. A winged-Erika gasha, would also be nice. In Japan, correct me if i'm wrong, there is a statue of Megumi (Jamie Robinson) of Voltes V.

Is the Price of the daimos in GT still 7,500? They told me in colecticon that the price was going to be 7,300. But when I asked the store they said it was 7,500.

too bad cause a lot of stores sell from 6,700-7000.
7,300 was still acceptable.

Which stores sell it for less than P7k?

[fenrir72]

Price fluctuations............especially in the foreign exchange, hence the price. Hopefully the lower gas prices will help cushion the prices.

almost all the stores in shoppesville sell it for 7k or less, just make your way to the shoppesville plus area. Sadly even with the 500 php reservation price deducted from the actual price you will still save from the other shops.

really? which one?

[fenrir72]

hump.............maybe we should have a separate thread entitled price differences between stores? This is like what we call another food fight in the offing.

No one is forcing anyone to buy at greattoys or Rberts or wasabi etc. Ultimately it's up to the buyer to decide. So put the price issue to rest and talk about how crummy the design is, or how the paint chips or how it lacks an Erika or how Bandai cheated by implementing a head switcheroo instead of an anime accurate head...............

[Protoform-S]

and for collectors who insist that Daimos be faithful to the anime transformation...here's a pic to show why Bandai had to make a lot of changes



this is taken from the SOC guidebook volume 3

[fenrir72]

Hehehe mass shifting was indeed prevalent even in the 70's just as phase shift armor was in the Transformers 1986 movie.

[nikko76]

If the SOC Voltes V will be getting a make-over, how about a re-issue of Daimos, with his add-ons. I'm referring to his upgrade mode in the comic book. (i think)

[fenrir72]

Doesn't he have his upgrades already? Except for the drill thingie.

[nikko76]

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the comic book, erika (or the little girl) pilots a support robot. It becomes an additional hands and foot gears.

[mazingetter]

Erika pilots Resshou Phobos, a support robot for Daimos. It only carries and provides the Daimos God Hand clawed gauntlets for Daimos.



It has a combo move with Daimos called the Reppuu W (Double) Seikein Zuki.

Phobos has only one attack that is named: the Choudenji Blizzard.

[fenrir72]

Is that a retcon? Or does that manga occur after the TV series? Erika pilots a mini Tranzer? WOWZA!
