It's such a massive figure and it's almost an event unto itself, even arguably the culmination of the sadly-abandonned era when Takara did some crazy things with their releases.
So many reviewers have pointed out it's clunkyness, but goddamn does it look impressive and massive.
Speaking from experience with the figure, that being the combined God Ginrai form, once you get everything just so, he stands really well. Just pick a pose you like and fiddle with it until you get everything snapped in tight and balanced just so. It's a beautiful figure in hand, but it does take a LOT of work to get everything properly aligned and secured. Individually, Super Ginrai is a lot of fun in and of itself. I just wish the G1 stump legs didn't look so funky. That's the biggest boon that Hasbro's Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime has over Takara's Legends Super Ginrai: proper feet.
In the interest of making sure the topic doesn't stray away from Power of the Primes, does anyone else think that the upcoming PotP Inferno makes a great stand-in for G1 Hosehead/Cab? I'd want to swap the head out, preferably for the Titanmaster Cab mentioned above from the God Girnai giftset, but it would require some major modifications to make the Headmaster gimmick really work well in robot mode. I assume Lug/Cab can just hang out in the ladder bucket it vehicle mode.
