Major difference between Brave and Transformers
The first Brave series released in the same year as Transformers : Victory
Basically, Brave robots are all combiner type toys, and the system is very similar to Victory
Saber's system: the second robot form the leg extension, and the add on body armor.
Each of the main character is formed by a small robot (the core) and a large robot (the outer shell).
The main character can snap together with the assisting team member to form a gigantic robot.

The King of Brave Legend is the last of the Brave series, it was a huge success back in Japan due to excellent robot designs and storyboard.

Feature here are the two popular robot from the show: King J-der and GaoFighGar.  The GFG (US$90) considered as a Chogokin,  the first issue was a defect, legs and armor falls off easily.  This problem was fixed in the second issue.  The toy itself is highly detailed, very heavy, and has lots of parts to exchange for different post.

King J-der is a battle spaceship.  Bandai has issued a toy robot of it, stands 2/3 of Brave Maximus.  Although many people think the modeling was poor and not posable, it looks real cool as it stands really tall.
On the left pic it is a resin prepainted model of King J-der (US$40, discontinued).  Basically a garage model this J-der looks super cool and detailed.  Highly recommended for all fans.
