Ok. Get the sun glasses out. This time I'm reviewing Brave Revival 05 Great Goldran . Because of how many pictures I took, I'm going to have to split this review up into a few posts.

Goldran, being the primary mecha and the brave this show is named after, he is revived first. The Braves in this series are all found as Power stones.

Dran is revived on the first episode. As it is the kids who awakened him, (And to make him more samurai-like) he refers to the lead kid as master (at least in the first episode). His alternate form is a car. It seems to be half realistic, half fantasy vehicle. The front is very realistic looking but the back is not. And of course, its nearly completely gold so that destroys the whole realistic theme. You can see I have some chrome damage on his car door.



Dran's reissue has very little additional gold shown in vehicle mode.



Dran's bot mode has a semi-samurai esque feel. His helmet mainly. He also comes with a small sword called the ryugaken (Dragon Fang Sword) which he can hold in his hand or on his hip.



He has enough articulation to go into the kneeling pose that he does so often.



As you can see the change is only his upper arms and a his inner thighs (Actually you cant see that bit...). He also has additional paint on his face and shoulder pads. His lower leg decals are also painted on now. And his sword has been given a good chroming too.



When the time arises, Dran steps up and calls forth the King of Monsters. Gojira.... I mean Golgon. The sculpt for Golgon is very nice. It looks very ancient looking. My Golgon's jaw has a tendency to drop. I guess it gets surprised easily. So much for King of Monsters. A small gripe I have is that his feet cant touch the floor properly. Only his clawed toes can .



He can lift up these cannons on his legs as additional weaponry.



As you can see the original Golgon was severly lacking in chrome goodness. In fact it was hardly chromed. But its a whole lot stiffer than the reissue.



Dragon rectum! Look away now or be forever scarred. Anyway, this is one of the few unchromed areas.



Along with the trigger on the back of his shoulders that are used to fire his missiles.



And the back of the sliding portion of his neck.



"Ougon Gattai! Goldran!" (Golden Union! Goldran!)
Goldran is Dran and Golgon's combined form. Truly an awesome piece. It has great proportions and the articulation is great for a Brave toy. He has four in each arm and he can split his legs apart. Thats 10 articulation! What can I say? I fell in love with this thing ever since I got the sonokong version. He can still activate his leg launchers.



He has a badass sword adequately called the Super Ryugaken.



More comparisons. I love how they chromed his face too .

Onto Sorakage next .
