HEY BOYS

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone i am new to the forums, and thus far it has been a very cool forums to come to, and just wanted to say HI to everyone as well. But i did have a question that hopefully you all can help with. Basicly just wanting to get your thoughts on the Max Gokin Metal Armor Dragonar D-1 by Max Factory. Does anyone here own it that can give me there impressions? Theres no reviews yet an it is fairly pricey, so was hoping to get some peoples thoughts on it before just purchasing it, sooo any impressions of this you can give me will be VERY appreciated ! THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Is that the newest Dragonar? Or am I confused... in any case - I haven't seen anyone around here showing their off - but I'm sure someone MUST have it :)

As for working out and eating the same things at the same time each day... I really admire you guys with your diet plans - but I just can't do it. I do work out, and I feel great - but I can't change my eating habits. I like to eat. I do try to just also drink more fresh orange juice and grape fruit juice, have generally tried cutting down on fast food ... but... I dunno...I just like eating... I don't want to give that up... kind of like smoking...I already had to basically give up drinking because I can't drink and drive - so now I only drink when I KNOW I won't be getting into the car until the next day (and not early in the morning either) ...

I dunno... I'm trying to be conscious of what I eat... trying not to over do it... but ... dag...going cold turkey ...I dunno... I need to find the time to read up on it... it's just I really really love eating...

Yes pete was just released by max factory bout 1 months ago and retailing for bout 200 dollars. Oh ann you can eat as much as you want that not the problem, it is what you eat of course that making the differnce. In that time period that i was talking bout my calorie intake was between 4000 to 6000 calories per day depending on what i was goin for at that time, so you can eat plenty bro just has to be the proper food bro

Here is a review of the unit from HK:

Plus some additional photos:

Review translated:

Have outer box, like Max GGGG

Take the inner box out, no joke - it's lighter than bandai model of the same size, Holly sXXX....

Open box, like Max GGGG with 3 box layers of: glove, main unit and stand.

Joint mobility is very good, most have double joint, especially the shoulder - better than the one ball joint in Soul Spec. Shoulder have 360 deg rotation and can move up and forward. Mobility is better the Max Godanner and GGGG, the most attractive feature of this toy.

But as written before the box is very light - metal ratio is a new low. D-1 main unit is not heavier than a PG RX-78.

The worst part is production quality. Lot's of place (esp white) are not well painted. There are chipped of paint clip and scrapped paint - unlike what we normally expect from Bandai SOC or EX chogokin.

Hip ball joint is too tight like Max GGGG 1st version.

If you are not die-hard fan of Dragonar you can skip it. Don't consider it if you are a "coroner" (i.e. super picky)

And here are some reviews from Japan:

Personally I am happy with my Soul spec D-1 - at least it got a Falguen to spar with.

If I ran this place, I would can rule 1, rule 2 and rule 3.

Actually, the most tyrannical oppressive inhumane rule on this forum is Rule 5, point 6. Just point 6. I once fell afowl of that rule and had my thread closed because of it...

As for Dragonar....

HEY BOYS - why don't YOU get him and tell us all about him? I was kind of thinking about getting him too :lol:
