As someone who owns GaoGaiGar, here's my opinion on it.
It's ok.
Like, really, it's ok. Complexity wise, it's definitely HG, not RG. But otherwise it's quite faithful to the design.
The Galion is honestly quite nice. The head's actually pre-painted, which was a plus. Same for GaoGaiGar's helmet. The transformation is pretty simple, but it is there, and is faithful to the show. The robot mode is pretty nice, standard posability for an HG gundam of its size.
DrillGao? It's a drill tank. The drills spin. That's it. Looks nice.
SleathGao? Largely a single hunk of plastic. The bottoms of the wings can come off, though not sure why. Has a nice stand though. It's a jet. That's it.
They can attach to Galeon by themselves. Stealth on the back, Drill on the hands. Stand can plug into the bottom of GaiGar to help. Pretty neat.
Honestly, LinerGao isn't great. Since the shoulder parts are just pegged into the center, they can pop out. And they will when transforming. Otherwise? It's a train. That's it.
The combined GaoGaiGar does look nice. Drill and Stealth transform relatively easy, though I've never gotten the mane bits around LinerGao without them popping off. They go right back on, so no big deal. Liner is a massive pain to transform right, and I'm still not sure if I did it right
You've got some accessories. Larger hands for both GaiGar and GaoGaiGar, pop on and off relatively easy. As well as the combined hands for that special move whose name I've forgotten. The Dividing Driver is hard to get on the arm, but it does stay on well afterwards.
It's faithful to the show transformation, and besides LinerGao it is fun to transform. Not bad posability wise, though nothing amazing. Probably not transforming mine back any time soon though
If you like GaoGaiGar's design, then I'd recommend it. If not, then I wouldn't.
