They do lock decently, nice strong joints.

That's the final bit of proof I need that the Korean versions of GaoRanger toys are vastly inferior. My GaoGiraffe has such terribly weak lock positions in its joints that you wouldn't know it had any if you didn't try to feel for them. They're effectively friction swivel joints, which made me confused when I first handled them, since Bandai never uses friction joints for Zord legs. It's the same for the Falcon and the Deer, absolutely nothing locks in! On GaoIcarus, the only things that go clicky-clicky are the shoulders and the Rhino hips and knees. EDIT: Not even the knees click! And only the right one locks in place!

Plus, the plastic is really light and poor, and I can see stress marks on the connectors.

Advice to anyone out there thinking of the Korean versions. While they may be good for other Sentai lines, I am convinced the Gaoranger ones really dropped the ball.
