Price: 16,800 yen
Height: 16cm
Due for release in February 2009.

They've had EXCELLENT success on their diecast non-transforming (or simple transforming) figures, and I imagine this one will have the same level of quality as their Brave Patlabor and Ippatsuman figures. It's not quite as pricey as their latest releases either, though at around $185 it's still not easy on the wallet.

Looks awesome but a little out of my price range.

Nice! This truly is an honorary Brave, he pops up in the Brave saga games. Wonder if his whip / sword will be included.

nice!

Pretty cool. Though I preferred the original brighter shade of red.

There's a limited 300 piece release version that's a brighter candy-apple red;

This guy looks so nice. It's such a pity that CM's stuff is just so expensive. Even though this isn't as painful as some of their other gokins, it's still too much for a casual purchase.

Sooooo I got him. He's okay. On the CM's totem pole, he's more GaoGaiGar than GoShogun, as far as quality. Not awesome. Not bad. Just kind of average. Not really worth the price the figure demands.

The figure uses ball joints vs. the tried and true ratchet system, which while giving his shoulders a great range of motion... it means that this is going to be an all-too-familiar sight when posing him :(. Ball joints ... not so great for a mostly diecast figure.

The only ratchet joints in the entire figure are in his elbows, which can extend to expose an extra joint for more mobility. He can touch his hand to his shoulder if he wants.
