I got this one a few months ago ; it's a real jewel, and the bonus parts are really cool. The only drawback is that it's relatively delicate compared to other SOC figures.
PS: The big blade is called the "Head Cutter." When in God Bird, the head shoots off (thus the molded spare head with the engine built in the back) and the Head Cutter is hidden underneath.
well done for a raydeen fan but i have to say the jumbo 24 inch that mattel made in the 70s was the best with the shooting arm and yellow planes for any kid even to this day
i must admit i was never really a fan of reideen growing up halfway through the 70'S( 75-80) i only knew the ones from force five! eventhough my brother gave me one i really did not relate to him but this figure is the greatest looking one! love bird mode!a true SOC!
yo man thats alot of reideens! my brother gave me one vintage one and one reissue but honestly eventhough they look pretty sweet its before my time but i keep them for their collectibility and simply cause i liked force five! go getter dragun!
hi josh nice review. just wish you handle your toy more delicately so don't brake parts as much.. as we can see how you toss the parts around when you do your reviews. other than that is very good!!!
I finally got my copy... you're so right. The attachment for the shield/sword is... the best pop-culture words that fit to describe the attachment point is EPIC FAIL. The rest of the figure is excellently done. I plan on picking up the deluxe set now too... but that shield attachment.... What were they thinking? It is super tiny, fragile to the extreme and doesn't actually hold the shield on if you so much as BREATHE on it.
man you must be older than I am to love a figure that is so 70's I wasn't born till 75" so force five was my thing but this guy I don't even know if he had a cartoon in America he is in all the comic books though I know I have all of them thnx to my brother he also likes him but I just don't get why but maybe it's cause I actually grew up in the 80's so im a transformers fan sue me lol.
I still have mine from 30+ years ago. You are the man!!
i love raideen. recently watched it. great anime. great final episodes. became one of my favorites.

I'm a diehard Raideen fanboy too :-) Thanks for this review! Terrific!
Intricate toy... I was impressed with the folding wing.
Wow, pretty nice!
Awefome!my brothers favorite from the70s.but where can i get dvds?
That lone Godzilla up there among all the Raideens looks a little intimidated.

Damn, this video's infecting me with the Raideen obsession virus. Thank god, I don't have any Dairugger toys on my shelf.

Do they come with the big Raideen head in the background?
Even though the Chogokin set is nice,I chose the DX set cuz I like it's color sceme!

Hi Josh,

My criminal instinct makes me want to rob his collection of Raideens, to enhance my own collection.
Your like me with mazinger z, I have a lot of collectble figures of mazinger z.
How tall is this figure in inches?
Oh my goodness.., you're a big fans of Raideen..., Jealous....
I think I like the dx chogokin more.
well ecxuse me mr helper starvengers was my favorite and reideen was out before i was born so i did not get to see it.
alright man you ve made your point but why was he the pilot haha!
In order to improve my collection, I would love to rob your house.
