27:24 you nailed it about Soul of Chogokin line being divided by different design takes, cartoon one day, toy homage an other day... SOC GX-54 DALTANIOUS was perfectly in between worlds imo, with the GX-54R to revive more the POPY era (with a packaging strongly aiming the eighties shelves).
I just got mine today. I grew up with playing with the original in the 80's. To me, I think this SOC is well executed. The fact that the robots are hollow when not combined is not a problem to me. In the cartoon and the original toy, the non-combined forms are shells. As for the diecast, it makes sense to use color-infused plastic for the first two robots to avoid scratch marks.
I can see why people think it looks cheap but it does remind me of the one my friend had in the early 80s. I watched the review before through Patreon, thanks for the new videos! Oh also, that blitzway voltron 🤤 I know it’s gonna cost a fortune
The up and down movement of the heads for each robot are not "wierd" thing. IMO they are to show inner robots or the boy if wanted when all are some of them are assembled like russian dolls. That's a feature that worked very well for the robot of the 80s.
I'm glad you went ahead and purchased this SOC Gordian set but Wow, you actually traded your Godaikin Gardian for a DX Xabungle Irongear? Even though you did, I'm never trading mine for anything of the sort. I know mine has the same broken issues as the one you had and mine is just as complete,. Though I'm still holding on to it in my collection.
Oh man... have to check on my GX-71 for oxidation too... how do you clean those chrome parts? Anyway, cool review! I'm glad i skipped on this one coz i don't like the vintage look of it. Waiting for GX-96 Getter Go on September, hope that one does not disappoint! More power dude!👍👍👍
29:35 transparent plastic part is made to keep armor straight by filling the gap and avoid waist movement ;)

Hi Chachi power! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Living vicariously through you, dude! Keep up the good work!
Wasn’t Baikanfu basically created so Bandai could reuse some of their Gordion tooling in the Machine Robo line?
Its probably true lol

Honda Spray polish has been best. This oxidation happened afterusing something else.
Thanks for the video. This is really disappointing. Has the SOC line lost quality and engineering since the Go Lion? That's the last one I have.
just going to stick w my vintage version.. not getting this. only the big one has diecast.. really??
1st. !!!!!!!!!
Iron Man is Copy from this GORDIAN.
