Densetsu no Yuusha Da Garn The GATTAI Da-Garn X

 Ever since CM Corp went bust few years ago, Yuusha series has seen drought in new merchandises save for Gaogaigar and it was not until recent years that Manufacturers trying their chances with this classic Mecha series. In the past two years Bandai and Kotobukiya had released several Yuusha miniplas such as Minipla and Model kits, and now Goodsmile thrown in their lot with a bang with their product for the 3rd Yuusha series, Brave Legend Da Garn!

 This is rather ambitious project by GSC yet commendable as they are releasinga luxurious 25 cm Toy for Da Garn X complete with transformation gimmick under the GATTAI lineup. The Gattai Da Garn X will be scheduled for January 2022 release with 24900 Yen price tag. The Gattai Da Garn X comes with all of its main armament Da Garn Blade and Earth Cannon with the complete transformation gimmick for the vehicle mode which is a combination of Bullet Train, Jet Fighter and Police Car.

 The Gattai Da Garn X has the potential to be a worthy successor for the Takara's DX since the sculptor tried to have the Da Garn X proportion as faithful as possible compared to the Anime. The effort by GSC to lower the price as affordable as possible is very commendable because The Gattai Da Garn X would easily cost over 30000 Yen with its gimmicks and could have reached 50k if it is made by Sentinel. However the effort to lower the price comes with a cost as there are no Diecast materials for the toys and i think the articulation is probably compromised as well.

 In any case i sincerely wish The Gattai Da Garn X to be successful since it is necessary to pave out the future prospects of the Yuusha series. Because i would love to see other Yuushas like Fire Dagwon or Sky Goldran getting the same treatment as well. It seems that in near future, Da Garn X partner Gaon will be following up as well since Great Da Garn GX has been planned out ever since the idea for Da Garn X Toy was conceived. As for the next Yuushas, i think Mightgaine has a good shot too considering the prototype was shown a while ago.
