So, here we are on page 5 and as I've previously said, I finally made my mind for which versions of the SOC Double Mazingers I am gonna purchase...
OK, so...despite the poll that currently gives only 2 votes for GX-01/02 against 22 votes for GX-01R/02R; and despite the fact that I know the R versions are better made...I am gonna get the GX-01/02
My reasons are (and please do not judge me, as it's just a matter of personal favoritism): -
1. I like GX-01 face 'n head more than GX-01R (GX-01R+ face/head is the best in my opinion).
2. GX-01 looks like a mecha more than an action figure to me!
3. I hate how the GX-01R belly opens...like Koji's shootin' Mazinger Z's tummy!
4. GX-01's shorter height is satisfying for a super-robot-actual-scale lover as myself, specially when displayed next to GX-04.
5. The fact that both GX-01 and GX-02 are not painted with chrome, also works for me, because when displayed next to GX-04, it will give me a kinda of convenience that 2 are made of New/Super Alloy Z and 1 is made of Space Alloy Gren (2 different materials from 2 different worlds).
6. In addition to reason #5: both labels on GX-01 & GX-02 display stands come in Japanese (where Z & Great are supposed to be made in) while GX-04S labels come in English ;D (let's consider it an alien language). So, this is another tiny-but-cool convincing thingy to me!
7. I still prefer the GX-02 Great Booster than the GX-02R GB.
8. I dislike replacing the GX-02R Scramble Dash units in order to switch between the flight or retracted modes. It should be 1 piece not a Meccano gimmick
9. I agree that GX-01 pilder looks better than GX-01R, as most of fans also agree.
10. Just purchasing the 'original' and first Soul of Chogokin super robots is simply... nice.
I might also (if I get enough $) purchase GX-10.

Version(s), mate! Not "version".
