The story behind Might Gaine is basically this: Fossil fuels run out and trains are used much more often in the future city of Nouvelle Tokyo. Robots are also developed and this leads to robot crime, so millionaire Maito Senpuji invents Gaine, a sentient robot to fight for justice.

Might Kaiser is a team of vehicles commanded by Maito that turns into a robot which he pilots. Might Gunner is sentient on his own.

so the vehicles that make up Might Kaiser aren't human piloted but are robotic drones?

Yep.

are there any websites where i can learn more about the Brave Series? i'm having trouble finding them on my own because i suck at using Google

well i finaly seen the last of GaoGaiGar Final man thats a sad ending

i got episodes 1-6 here http://anime-in-action.edwardk.info/
then i go the last 2 here http://www.bakuretsudigital.net/ they alow for direct DLing so no need to use bittorrent

some other torrents for the brave series http://www.animesuki.com/group.php/289.html not tryed them yet but i have no resion to belive that they dont work

http://www.mahq.net/animation/brave/braveright.htm thats about as good as ive found not toy pics tho but if you google the mecha names you can find pics

that site sucks, they haven't updated it in months

Hey all. I've been living in south korea for a few weeks now and have a few questions. I'm seeing brave toys everywhere for reasonably good prices. Just wondering are any of them any good? I've found Might Gaine, Great Da Garn, Fightbird, The lion/drill/stealth bomber guy, the police guy who looks like exgiser, sevenchanger. Anybody have any reccomendations, or know of any review websites?

They're total bricks. Save for some arm movement 'n stuff.

The fun comes in the playability of those guys, they're BIG and they have a lot of 'modes' and they combine a lot. So if you like stuff such as the late japanese G1 TF's, Brave should be awesome.

I also'd like to state that I sorta envy you. Brave toys for grabs! Me also want, but me too cheap.

South Korea is still getting official Brave toys? lucky bastards

check these links for pics and reviews:

well thier all bricks as RhA posted the Train,Lion,drill,stelth bomber is GaoGaiGar my fav and is the newist one and possibly the most mossable. its just a shame his toy counterpart is a let down when you look at the cartoon

thiers MPB-01 Exkaizer its a modern take on an old design is far better articulated and stuff when compared to his old counter part idd think he would be the easyist offical brave toy to find

then thier Genesic GaoGaiGar they only made like 400 or so so if you find him for cheap idd say get it

not to familar with the other braves so

Gao Gai Gar's core robot is the same height as a G1 gestalt?! damn, them brave toys were huge!

I know one thing, I'd LOVE to get this badboy!!!

Too bad it's just a little out of my price range at the moment. Hopefully a few will make it to an even further price reduction so I can snag myself one.

i hope they will give them all the Masterpeace treatment idd love a toon acurate GGG with out paying out my ass for one like a genesic or halfeyes stuff

Some of the Brave and GGG toys are REALLY great "Should have been Transformers". 

Some of them are REALLY good G1 like toys, some are not so hot. 

I personally recommend most of the various merge teams, and multi changers.  My favorites are Thunder Barron, Land Bison, Sky Saber, Super Guardian, Build Tiger the Kaizers, and some others. 

Some sets were kinda pointless. 

The main problem I had with the Brave series, including Goa Gai Gar (or what ever) was that they were Anime series made for kids.  It was kinda weird, and though most of the artwork was fantastic, it just failed ot keep my interest. 

SO when collecting the toys (bootleg or real) made up my own TF ideas on what their characters should have been. Wrote some random scenes in a Fan Fic even on the TF versions of these characters. 

Take King XKaizer for example.  Paint it red (even bought one to custom paint, but never followed through completely, just made a custom spoiler and hood sticker) and its Power Master Rodimus Prime.  Just change the lion head on the chest to be a big Autobot symbol. 

Some of the Brave toys were repaints of Transformers even.  Bricks they may be, but they were part of the Takara robot revolution, we got to see new combining techniques, and the style was carried over into a lot of the toys.  Hell Sideswipes head is used as one of the Build Tiger robots heads. 

Go look up Brave on the internet and look up the names of what I am talking about. 

If it was not for silly little kids, and sometimes silly evil creatures to fight, Brave could have been the next TF series.  They really needed Decepticons to fight.  One of the episodes I remember, these evil creatures, actual G1 Dinobot retooled robots (never produced) made this big statue of Budda come to life to fight King X Kaizer...

A few too many trains used as well.  And not a big fan of the vehicle combiner teams where the vehicles do not have a robot form of their own. 

bump because i could really use a link to a site with info on the braves

Personally, I think these toys rock!  The hero bots are generally a good size and after gattai, they're even bigger!  And about the previous comment that these are bricks; remember, the Yuusha toy series filled the gap after TFs died in Japan and before the onset of Beast Wars caught on in Japan.  The Yuusha toys are kind of like the last TFs from Generation 1.  Whatever it takes to sell toys, I guess.

You can still get these from South Korea and they're readily available via eBay.  Some have mild changes.  If you want the original Japanese ones, you'll need to dig deeper (and will also require a deeper wallet).  The most notoriously difficult item to find (at least out of the hero bots) is Dragon Kaizer as it was never reissued and only released through Japan (I know I was damned happy when I FINALLY got mine!).

All-in-all, they're big, they're durable, and they're a whole mess of fun!

Good hunting!

ok i have a chance to get a brave toy reissue MISB the toy box is mint at a price tag of £40 but i wont have to pay P&P so its not that bad sounding

im pritty sure its this guy (same box) http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...465&mode=retail

now im not sure if its a good deal or not as they seem to be quite rare its the 1st brave toy ive ever seen in the uk but that site has it at about 2 3rds the price but im guessing p&p to the uk will even it out. any ideas guys?

whats the toy like? and how big is this guy? i know it will be a brick tho

If your going to get a brave toy.  Get Might Gaine & Might Kaiser together they form Great Mightgaine.  As the one you picked is a shoulder weapon for Great Mightgaine.
Takara has reissued the complete set:
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...466&mode=retail
Or you could by Mightgunner at that price, then by the Sonokong reissues (same as the Takara version only Korean made).  There also alot less money.

http://cgi.ebay.com/TRANSFORMERS-6-lot-Mic...1QQcmdZViewItem
Keep in mind that Brave toys are HUGE, Great Might Gaine is over a 13 inches tall.

thx im tempted to get that large set but im guessin p&p will be insane

Brave figures are 30% off in BBTS!!!  I got a MP for only $66 or was 68...

why didn't I wait?

Your telling me.  I could have paid 60 bucks for Might Gaine.  Oh well.

i just ordered CM's Gaogaigar at 15% off. when you add in S&H, the total cost comes to less than the price of the Genesic version on its own.

plus, Hobbylink Japan has just recieved a shipment of the Miyazaki repaint of Goldymarg   3    3    3

Studio HalfEye's Might Gaine.
COOL!

From Wonder Fest '06
http://toycan.net/g/r/750/

I hope someone will have him lower than $150....

The SHE Mightgaine is pretty damn cool.  Gotta love the SHE stuff!

Did you catch the ExKiazer and Raijin-oh a little ways down?

That Might Gaine looks awesome. It looks they will also make the other figs for the great mightgaine. I wonder how much it's gonna cost.

More than you're willing to pay that's for sure...

I hope lower than $150.

Even 150 would be a decent price for a SHE figure!

Try the $500 range.  SHE standard pricing.

Exactly!

*huddles in a corner for the fact he will never have Might Gaine*

*joins Greensight*

(Then quickly joins Greensight and Rapid Run)

Anyone here know if Takara will be releasing more Brave Express figures?  I'm hoping for a Beast Express revival figure.

I want more brave masterpiecie toys.

i agree a master pease might gaine and GaoGaiGar (with goldian Hammer) would both be gold mines

We're already getting the MP Dragon kaiser. I still need to save up money for that. We have gotten more MP brave faster than MP tf's.

but would Takara still bother with an MP GGG after CM's Corp already released their own versions? of course, CM's GGG's require part swapping to transform but would there be much else that Takara could do to differenate them?

Dragon Kaiser is out in japan: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=94387

To be fair though, Exkaiser and Dragon Kaiser were obviously designed in conjunction with each other.  And even then, the two Masterpiece lines are in fairly different ballparks in relation to each other.

well for one they would be a hell of a lot easyer to get a hold of and since they will be made in a bigger number i hope they would be cheaper aswell

yeah, ExKaizer is closer to the HBS toys than a TF style MP.

Well, that's probably the closest TF approximation.  However, I was thinking the MPB line is simply more in line with the rest of Japan's higher-end robot toy offerings.

MPTF is something different, more akin to crossing Perfect Grade Gundam design goals with traditional TFs.

*thinks we should start our own Brave Series forum *

and where would one hope to purchase one of these?

I think BBTS, but I'd wait for sale.  Like what I did with exkaiser.

Price would be $90-130ish maybe....  Around the prime of MP prime.
