Bandai Tamashi Web Limited Super Robot Chogokin SRC Gekiryujin

Today's review is on Bandai Tamashi Web Limited Super Robot Chogokin SRC Gekiryujin. Gekiryujin is only available through pre-order and is a figure that I have been looking forward to, as I am a big fan of the GaoGaiGar series.


Like his brother Choryujin, Gekiryujin comes in nice metallic finishing colors of green and yellow. In fact, both figures have the exact same engineering and design, the difference only in their accessories or weapons. Gekiryujin comes with a mixer barrel for his right hand and a sort of shovel attached to his left hand.


Gekiryujin also comes with spare shoulder pads, whose windscreen can be remove to insert the boosters into the shoulder pads for its space flight mode. Unlike Choryujin who got the boosters as a separate limited edition pack, the boosters come together with Gekiryujin in ths limited set.

 

Gekiryujin looks marvellous standing beside Choryujin. The shine on their metallic finishing is absolutely stunning. 


The key feature of Gekiryujin is that he can cross combine with Choryujin, just like what they did in the anime. The result of this symmetric docking combination is Genryujin and Gouryujin.


It is a lot of fun, mix combining the 2. And if you have 2 set of each, you can have 4 different figures. There are a few nice touches by Bandai, such as giving new chest parts tot go along with the 4 different combinationa.

For Gekiryujin and Choryujin, we have the yellow & green and red and blue colors on the chest plate. for Genryujin and Gouryujin, the chest pieces are in blue & yellow and green and red respectively.




Gekiryujin being an online exclusive is not easy to get if you are not a resident of Japan. And getting from secondary markets or 3rd parties makes the toy cost at least 2-3 times its orginal cost.
