Ultimate Dancouga & Dairyuuga – THE GATTAI’s Latest Mecha Figures Ready for Preorders!
Good Smile Company’s mecha-focused brand, MECHA SMILE, has announced two highly anticipated figures in its THE GATTAI and HAGANE WORKS series: Ultimate Dancouga and Dairyuuga! These intricate, fully transformable, and combinable figures are inspired by the legendary anime Dancouga – Super Beast Machine God and its Super Robot Wars 30 game-exclusive mecha designs. Preorders are set to begin in February 2025.
The Evolution of Ultimate Dancouga
Ultimate Dancouga first appeared in the 2021 game Super Robot Wars 30, which was introduced as an upgraded version of Dancouga. This ultimate form features enhanced armor, exposed cockpit sections, expanded wings, and powerful boosters—significantly improving its attack power, defense, combination speed, and endurance while reducing strain on the pilot.
Dairyuuga – A Brand-New Beast Machine
One of the biggest surprises of this release is Dairyuuga, a newly designed Beast Machine created by Dancouga’s original designer, Masami Obari. This all-new mecha is a powerful reinforcement unit that combines with Dancouga to form Ultimate Dancouga.
Equipped with an intricate transformation system, Dairyuuga can switch between three different modes:
- Aircraft Mode – A sleek, high-speed jet form
- Beast Mode – A dragon-like beast machine form
- Humanoid Robot Mode – A fully articulated mecha form
These transformations are faithfully recreated with premium sculpting, detailed articulation, and a smooth combination system that ensures perfect integration with Dancouga.
Full Combination Without Leftover Parts!
Unlike many combinable mecha figures, Dairyuuga can fully integrate with the previously released THE GATTAI HAGANE WORKS Dancouga to form Ultimate Dancouga without any leftover parts. Once combined, this massive robot stands an imposing 33 cm (approximately 13 inches) tall and 36 cm (approximately 14 inches) wide, making it a true centerpiece for any mecha collection.
Signature Weapons and Accessories
The figure also features some of Dancouga’s most iconic weapons, including:
- Danku Hou (Dancou Cannon) – Mounted on the back, this powerful weapon can be displayed in various firing poses.
- Danku Shinken (Dancou True Sword) – An upgraded version of the original Danku Ken, giving Ultimate Dancouga an even more menacing attack option.
A removable faceplate for the head unit is also included, offering collectors multiple display options.
