Fascinating that the GaoKnight release is a direct remake of the original DX release, not just including the four GaoKing components but even making GaoElephant black! I assume the show-accurate blue will be released later. Just pretty cool all in all!

That makes me really happy.

Maybe if we're lucky GaoIcarus will also be retail.

all we need now is just the large gaolion for the kentauras formation

gaogod would be nice as well

God getting these will be a pain.

Worth it tho, cheaper than the DX zords

yes i got most of the DX ones a few years ago and these will be much cheaper and more posable

Actually, it's the other way around. The peg to connect Gaobison to Gaolion (and ultimately Gaogorilla) is actually located on Gaobision. The Gaogorilla will connect to Gaoeagle using a cage system similar to the original toy before connecting to Gaobison.

As for how eagle will be able to work around the peg, there's a system of joints that will allow the body to extend and a flap located on its abdomen to open up, likely to allow for clearance around the peg.

I hope this helps.

HLJ says GaoKing was discontinued? I don't get it

Super Mini-Pla kits or now Shokugan Modelling Project kits don't normally get reprinted or restocked after their initial release.

Though because Bandai is continuing the GaoRanger line with more Gao Animals I could see them keeping GaoKing in print a little longer. But who knows for sure...

yup limited releases

but sense they are releasing more of them maybe they will do anther batch?

both gaoking and gaomuscle are hard to find now so glad i got orders in when i did

I saw this posted recently about SMP kits getting re-releases due to popularity and demand (article is in Japanese, use a translator)

Specifically it mentions re-releasing the older Super Mini Pla kits under the Shokugan Modelling Project line.

There's a list of most requested kits with Might Gaine surprisingly at the top. But also Dairanger and Timeranger at 5th and 6th respectively.

Gaogaigar is one of the few kits that got a re-release and it sold out each time. So that's a good sign for the popularity and demand for re-releases.
