J-Decker is the primary Super Robot from the Brave series, a series that replaced Transformers when the series effectively ended. Titled Brave Police J-Decker, the series revolved around AI equipped robots that in this case happen to be Police vehicles, with other support vehicle types that eventually combine with the primary robot, Deckard, to form other wonderful combinations.
The SRC J-Decker release was the second piece of swag that I purchased from the 80's Toy show recently.
As one would expect, the figure is non transforming, and comes with a few accessories, namely a Baton weapon, and, from what I've read, its primary blaster weapon in both pistol and rifle modes, meaning technically the weapons are meant to be displayed one at a time. You of course also get a variety of hands, and an advert to go buy a stand for your figure.
To my eye, it appears that J-Decker is slightly taller than Might Gaine, and that's without taking the wings into account. He's definitely taller if you do take into account such things.
Die cast metal is focused on the right areas (i.e. the legs) to help support the figure in its various poses, with joints that are tight enough to hold the poses. Reading up on Collection DX, it appears there were some slightly differences to the overall mecha that interfere with the articulation as compared to Might Gaine, but as I didn't try anything too exotic, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
I did notice, however, that the core body is effectively the same as Might Gaine. Window dressing might be different, but I guess these figures are like Figuarts in that they develop a base body, then throw pieces on it to give the appearance they desire, which would probably explain some of the limitations on what the figure can do, but overall is still quite impressive with the articulation.
Speaking of the same, I think they also recycled the hands from Might Gaine, down to the aesthetics of them too. I guess as far as mecha hands go they're pretty generic so it works, but I'm wondering if there was any sort of discrepancies between the show models.
Paint work is top notch as expected and cleaner than Might Gaine, though that is simply because there was no battle damaged head to mess up.
Another solid piece that I'm glad I picked up.
