Bandai Soul of Chogokin GX-42 Koutetsushin Jeeg Review

[Zero829]

Hey Charles. I'm a huge fan of Koutetsushin Jeeg. If I get him for a good price, do you think this guy is worth it despite the problems it has?

@Zero829 Hi, I won't say he has major issues. the joints are not tight simply because they are held onto the body by magnetic force. They won't fall off easily unless you shake the figure real hard. The only thing is that it might be a challenge to make him stand properly if you want to pose him in very dynamic poses.

@OptimusPrimeSG Oh alright thanks. I'll try to pick him up then. Do you also collect Macross units or the Aquarion DX Chogokin? I own the Assault version of the Aquarion DX Chogokin and I am curious to hear what others say about it because I find it to be dreadful do to the low quality plastic that makes it near impossible for it to stand or even do dynamic poses. Ugh.

@Zero829 I do not collect any of Bandai's Macross items. The only Macross items I have are the 1/72 Macross Plus series by Yamato. For Aquarion, I own the original version. I don't think the plastic is low quality as it does not feel like it can break easily. However, posability is a challenge due to the way the joints are made and the way the robots are mainly top and back heavy. It's best to display it with its stand.
