Next is Fire Shovel. Its pretty good looking. The shovel doesnt have any joints and the arm lacks the pistons from the original (one of my favourite parts about the DX version). The STD lacks the swivel at the waist. Its also not attached via the upper legs in the STD.



DX and STD.



"Gouriki Gattai!"

The DX version cant stand inside but the STD version does latch onto anything so it just rattles if you move it. The head is attached differently (its supposed to be on the top of his chest not on the opening hatch).



"Power Dagwon!"

The way the thighs are molded are a little strange but its ok. He has no elblws unlike the DX version. He is also missing some gold paint on his head. The lever for Gunkid cant be hidden (Which is strange because if you remove the S Fire Dagwon chest plate it can fold down).



Close up.



"Mugwn Cannon!" again.



"Lio Sword!" again.



STD Fire Jumbo, Fire Ladder, Fire Rescue, Fire Shovel and Dag Fire (couldnt fit the DXs into this pic).



Every one together.



"Chou Kaen Gattai!"



"Super Fire Dagwon!"

Again pretty faithul. Lacks elbows again. Would have prefered it if they used black plastic for the chest plate instead of red.



"Triangle Christmas Beam!!!" (Damn I always get a chuckle at that one)



There you have it. STD Super Fire Dagwon. It is nearly completely faithfully to the DX (bar a few small bits). Get it if you cant afford the DX version. It cant completely replace it but its nice. This is probably the nicest STD out there. Anything before J-Decker's are horrible in execution (ok I like the STD Great Exkaiser), Fire J-Decker require some addon pieces (I think, I'll find out soon), Great Goldran has not beast modes and GGG is pretty simple already.

STD Super Fire Dagwon is the pinacle of Takara's project of miniturising Braves. Now if they made them in this day and age I'm sure they'd be very cool and articulated but as it is if you must get a STD get this. Its also a lot cheaper than getting the DX version (a third of the price of the DX I believe if you get both Fire Dagwon and Power Dagwon?). Now I have to wait for MG's package with the STD Fire J-Decker to arrive.
