Gao Icarus is one of my favorite big sentai combos. It's unfortunate that most of it's appearances in Gaoranger are completely CG, but that's the downside of the gigantic wings. The set itself is fun, big, and hefty.
While the US Falcon does feature a sound box I can't say I'd recommend it versus the BOJ release. For me that kind of thing doesn't add much value. It's a fun complex figure as is without that.

So, I bought the Korean Version of Gao Icarus, and after looking at your pics I took down my Icarus and started fiddling with it and wanted to know how it stacked up to the japanese version.
Does Giraffes neck extend without you pushing the button at the base of the neck. Like it's on a hair trigger sometimes. How are the pegs that hold Rhino and Falcon together? On mine they come apart with very little effort. I just want to determine if I should buy the japanese version. Because as far as I can tell this just feels inferior to some of my more recent purchases.

Unfortunately I have to tell you that the Korean releases were made from sub standard materials
They aren't repacks like you might imagine, they're actually a second production run of the figures produced with cheaper plastics. Joints aren't as tight, much more fragile and lite. Defintely go BOJ with this stuff. Though the BOA releases are pretty darn close in quality.

Thanks, that is kind of what I thought.
As much as it sucks I do look forward to getting the good version, Eventually. Well at least they will pass as individual animals.

I broke out my Gao Icarus box to put Gao Rhinos back in it, prepping to sell it on eBay when I saw a single feather had broken off of Gao Falcon while in storage. ;A;
