Hope you enjoy this stop motion video on the MODEROID Gaiking. Personally, I love the Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu series (~ Gaigaigai Daiku Maryu Gaiking!!~) and I was excited when Good Smile announced this plamo. I will definitely recommend this kit and you should get Raiking and Balking (Vulking) kits too if you can afford them to form Gaiking The Great! Profile: Gaiking (ガイキング) is a mysterious mecha formed from the Daikū Maryū's head plus Parts 1 (Arms and Chest) and 2 (Torso, Legs and Feet), it's piloted by Daiya and is the main machine of the series. It's the third Flame Giant, possessing an even mix of speed, power, and defence in comparison to the specialized Raiking and Vulking. Its attacks are versatile, including the Despair Sight eye lasers, Zaur Geyser (a helix beam from the chest's eyes), and the Volt Paralyzer electrical shocks in its horns. Unlike most super robots, Gaiking's Puncher Grind rocket punch does not return upon being fired, to Daiya's initial surprise. It must instead be retrieved using the Zector Hooks mounted in its shoulders, which can also be used for grappling opponents or objects. Each of its legs mounts a Counter Cross blade for use as swords or throwing stars. It can charge up its pilot's flame to release in a wave called Hydro Blazer - upon Daiya's training with Li, he learns to focus this into a concentrated ball called Shinryu Hydro Blazer. It can also call for the Gaiking Axe, Gaiking Spear and Gaiking Shield from the Daiku Maryu, or combine the Spear with one of the Counter Crosses to form a larger pike. Gaiking's greatest feature is called Face Open; when used, it causes Gaiking to emit four times the heat it normally does, also quadrupling the machine's speed and power. However, the strain on the pilot's flame is potentially life-threatening, requiring the use of a limiter to keep it from killing Daiya. My review: Good: • Absolutely no stickers for this kit, the smaller details were all painted on the parts. • Overall articulation is good. I was surprised by the extendable hip and ankles which can be pulled down to increase the range of motion. The legs can fold all the way to the back at the hips. Not to mention it also has extendable shoulder joints and double-jointed knees. Bad: • A few parts did not fit together easily, needed some effort to press them together. • Loose thigh swivel joints causing the figure to topple over occasionally. • Paint QC is alright but could be better if I am to nit-pick. The eyes were painted unevenly on mine. Please let me know down in the comments section below, I would love to hear what you think of this Good Smile Company’s MODEROID Gaiking.
