GaGaGa ! KO GaoGaiGar - Part 2
Wokeh, here’s the second part of my KO GaoGaiGar review. On with the Gao Machines.
Here’s Stealth Gao
The stripes and GGG logo on the wings are actually stickers. Very good, no smudge like most KO’s. The red lines on the turbines are painted. Kinda smudgy, but not bad.
Turn it over, you’ll see GaoGaiGar’s head and golden chest plate.
Here’s Liner Gao
The sticker that they use here sucks. It came off while I was trying ‘Final Fusion’ with Gaigar. Could be the lack of glue I guest. Notice the blue thing on the top left hand side of Stealth Gao’s picture up there ? That’s one of the offending stuff.
Liner Gao has 2 tyres/rollers underneath. You can roll it all day long if you have nothing to do :p
Here’s Drill Gao
My favorite Gao machine. The golden drills looks good. And the tank tracks are quite detailed. No sticker here.
And now … FINAL FUSION ! SHONIN !!! *finds a fire alarm to break the glass*
( while reading and viewing the picture’s below, I recommend listening to this -> http://media.putfile.com/final-fusion. Open it in a new window. Some people actually get goosebumps listening to this :p )
Final Fusion is kinda tricky at first, but it’s very easy to master. Here, all those countless times watching the Final Fusion sequence actually paid off.
Yeah, most of you people now the transformation sequence already. Enjoy the pics.
You need to force the legs a bit to make it clip nicely with Drill Gao.
Sticking Liner Gao into GaiGar was not an enjoyable affair. You’ll have to force the damn thing in for the first couple of times. The slot inside GaiGar was a bit rough (hey, rememer it’s a KO). If you happen to get one, and have the patience, use sand paper or filer to clean the insides a bit.
For Stealth Gao, you need to make sure the clips on it and GaiGar’s upper arm are well in place. If you don’t, GaogaiGar’s head won’t cover GaiGar’s head completely. Took me 2 tries to get it right.
Stealth Gao’s turbine’s has the ’slide-link-hand’s pop-up’ like in the anime. Very cool. Too bad It didn’t rotate. You can’t have everything, right ?
Behold …
Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar - Pictured here with the Dividing Driver that came with the package.
DIVIDING .. DRIVER !!!!
GaoGaiGar look good when combined. But it lacks articulation, unlike GaiGar. One best thing that the KO people managed to put was GaoGaiGar’s chromed Golden horn(?) on the forehead. The original Takara version was a lousy solid yellow one.
Looks majestic enough for display. Most people won’t notice it’s a KO >:)
Well, that’s the end of part 2. Part 3 will be KO Goldion Hammer which I recently acquired, somewhere far away from the place where I got GaoGaigar…
