GX-62 DANGUARD ACE

Posted by chen 
Figured I'd start a new thread for this toy, we finally have some really good pictures of the prototype now. Looks good but will be much smaller then we expect. Here's a link to the pics.

Hmmm.... good to see that his shoulders aren't attached backwards!

Ha!

Oh, Marmit...bad-bad-naughty Marmit!

Definitely prefer the proportions to the Marmit, but what this pic really makes me want is the huge-ass Godsigma...!

On that note, I am pretty sure they are picking the sizes to match the old toys. Dangard DX was relatively small. Godsigma DX was pretty big. etc., etc....

Better shot to see the size.


Poor Danguard is inadvertantly driving up the appeal of the SOC Godsigma!
Was checking out the pix on DX, and those close-ups of his face...man...reminds me of the dude who used to take my lunch money. Guess this is the "Gootch" version of Danguard...not nearly as benevolent looking as the GN-U version, which for the sake of argument would likely just smack this thing around, though he is pretty stocky looking (sort of the Costanza of Chogokin).
So... how big is SOC Danguard Ace going to be? Mazinger/Getters sized? Combattler sized? For some reason I thought he'd be fairly big...

Call me crazy, but given the side by side photo above I'm going to hazard a wild guess the he's going to be 3/4 the size of Godsigma.
I pretty sure it will be even smaller, in the pic its standing in front of God Sigma. I'm guessing it will be around 8" max.
This is now available for preorder at HLJ! Put me down for one!
I'm pleasantly surprised at the (relatively) low price of 12,000 Yen. Must be the cheapest SOC in a few years?

But darn it... HLJ has put a STOP on pre-orders for now.
Odd, he's completely disappeared from amiami as well. And I don't mean out of stock, while he's still in my order history, the link is completely dead, and you can't search for him.

I was a bit surprised that he didn't sell out on amiami within 10 minutes like everything else that came up for preorder that night (Chogokin Alto, Ultra Act Zoffy, even Robot Tamashii Gundam Double X)
Oh how cute! It comes with a little mini Sky Arrow with functioning inter-changeable cockpit gimmick. Too bad it's not spring loaded with the erratic malfunctioning auto-launch eye gauging capability that plagued the plentiful but unloved Popinika/Shogun version.... or is it?

Got this pre-ordered from Amiami but like the Aoshima Daishogun it disappeared from the English website. For the Daishogun they said it was a Japan only item but if you did manage to get a pre-order they will honor it but I have no idea about Danguard unless its a licensing issue like the Yamato version.

Goddamn. Gotta admit--that looks sharp!
"Tiny", ironicorally, can now also be purchased at some sort of Big Bad Toy Shoppe.

Maybe Dancougar can hold his wittle hands while crossing the stweet.

GN-U Danguard forever!!!
Here's to another attempt at a Marvel trio in the same scale...
Has there been any word about how tall Danny is?
19cm or about 7.5" tall.
Okay... Danny is available for pre-order at HLJ again, at a discounted price.

Even with shipping, I don't think we'll find a better price for this `bot.
Can't wait to get mine!
