A backtrack review of sorts, this came out in 2005-2006. The Golden God of Destruction Star Gaogaigar package was randomly shipped to distributors in unmarked boxes (supposedly there's a box sticker but I'm not too sure about this).
The set is limited to 500 units and was a semi-lucky draw item (you could pre-order it on the www.cmscorp.jp website back then).
This toy is based on the first release version of Star Gaogaigar and does not have extras present in the 2009 release Star Gaogaigar Ver. 2.0.

Not really much to say about this set except that it suffers from the same faults present in the first release Star Gaogaigar (Plastic knees being the biggest factor) and I think it would've been better if the toy was released totally chromed (similar to how Yujin released their golden Gaofighgar Dx back in the day) instead of just simple orange metal and plastic. Still it's considered one of those "Holy grails" for some Gaogaigar fans (myself included).
