Shortly after shown in the Mechasmile Impact 2023 which is quite a treat for old school mecha fans, Goodsmile is quite fast in announcing the preorder for next Yuusha The GATTAI series, Mightgaine. After sitting around for almost 2 years as prototype, The Gattai Mightgaine is open for preorder with September 2023 release selling 25000 Yen price tag.
The Gattai Mightgaine comes with rather modest accessories with Dorinken as the only weapon and i thought for its Price tags it might have included Mightgaine's train wheel as thrown weapon. But the selling point of this version of Mightgaine remains to be the complete gattai feature and Gaine himself appear to have quite good articulation.
As the middle child of Yuusha Series, Mightgaine is somewhat peculiar because it has the most generous amount of preferential treatment by Obari. I can see how Sunrise production team at the time tried to make this series catered more to Teen audience but due to massive use of Train as the mecha theme and corporate meddling by Takara, it kinda failed halfway. While Yuusha series never stray far from incorporating Trains as part of
mecha design in liberal amount, Mightgaine is the MVP in this category
which is why i am never particularly attached with this series despite it has quite good presentation due to Obari's major involvement.
Since I had SRC Mightgaine already, i am not particularly eager to buy this version of Mightgaine but in case if I get myself a copy, I will just stick to Mightgaine and not getting the Mightkaiser or Might Gunner because Great Mightgaine is easily one of the worse Yuusha design out there. Personally I look forward more to the future Seven Changer release which comes with complete 7 Transformation forms.
