man, DX Mazinger that good? its on everybodys list! i cant wait for my DX Great Mazinger then... I am guessing its technically more detailed and engineered for it to earn that spot. I am not a huge Mazinger fan, so the regular SOCs are enough for me. But I can see the DX being a fan favorite.

Not any order for me, just the top 5 gokins which combine the waiting, the joy, design and box opening :
SOC GX-04 Grendizer : this one gave me the envy to collect again after selling long time ago my Popys and vintage toys and catch the SOC train. And this is the character which gave me THE passion about robots.
SOC GX-40 God Mars : my best super robot combiner (addiction created by Transformers). I love everything on this one, even it´s a simple transformation.
SOC GX-39 Bankaifu : perfect ! Remember the show. A guy in armor in a robot in a robot ? What else ?
Konami Great Impact Gurren Lagann. Because of the design, the serie, the toy, posing possibilities... Ok it´s no super robot from the 70's-80's era. But c'mon, bring us a Gokin Lazengan !
SOC Daltanious : loved the Popy version and this one is very well balanced for me (design).
Bonus : SOC GX-13 Dancouga

1. GX-46 Dygenguar & Aussenseiter set. Still my favorite SoC set. Dygenguar is an awesome stand alone figure but with a Ausseseiter that also transforms, which has perfect transformation and accessories for partsforming for better proportions, pushes this over the edge. Lots of accessories and the awesome feel of the two together, kinda like Odin from FFVII. Dygenguar and Aussenseiter comes out and everything dies. Giant buster sword, and he comes with two of them. It still remains one of my favorites whenever I go to my garage and look at my display. Still has amazing shelf presence and attracts a lot of attentions from non collectors.
2. GX-27 Gaiking. This spot should be for the GX-01R as it was my introduction figure to Gokin collecting. The reason Gaiking got this spot is because it's still in my display case, unlike my 01R Mazinger Z. When I first started collecting, I was mainly a Mint in Box collector. Back then I didn't have much room or place to display. But when I got my first detolf, this Gaiking Chogokin was one of the first piece to enter the display case. Reason being, the original box was kinda crushed. So it was one of the first SoC I unboxed. My 01R also got display along side this one for a while but got replaced when I got the SRC version. Also, this Gaiking was pretty cool. It combines and has powerup parts. It's still a beautiful looking piece.
3. Megahouse Hi-Spec Jumbow Galatt. When I first saw this, I had no idea who or what this is. But there was something about the design that I just liked. Could be that big G on the chest. It's a transforming Gokin, which is always a plus since I like transformers. And out of the box, I had the same problems that people talked about. The Hips doesn't tab onto the crotch securely. It takes some fiddling but once I got it to lock, everything worked good. It was still a bit too heavy because the torso has quite a bit of die cast. The paint job on this one is pretty good. The transformation isn't too complicated and it also comes with lots of accessories.
4. GX-55 Tobikage & Houraioh. Out of the three Tobikage, I like this one the best. Love the wing span and the looks of Houraioh. Love the way it looks and the engineering in the transformation. I like that it can Cross play with the Tobikage figure from the GX-54 set and it comes with a better proportionate Tobikage figure with lots of accessories. The newer Tobikage figure from the set also uses Houraioh like a glider.
5. SRC Mazinkaiser SKL V2. Well, i would put the Metal Build Exia on the list, but this is for Super Robots so it's this guy. Really good representation of the character. It's nice looking and I like it. I like it more than the regular SRC Mazinkaiser. It's quite big, almost like the size of them older SoC figures. Comes with a big sword with lots of sharp points. And the cape accessory gives it that coolness.

Tough call. So many that I love. No particular order.
MM Dairuger, Vehicle Voltron. I know it has flaws, but mine has no QC issues and is just so eye grabbing. SRC Daizujin aka Power Rangers Megazord. Just a spectacular interpretation., heck any of the SRC Super Sentai Mecha are perfection SOC Grendizer, so much going on with this guy SOC Voltes V Volt in Box, the robot is fantastic. The lettered and labelled paint scheme with all the trim push it over the top. SOC Getter Robo G trio. I can't pick just one. Dragon, Liger and Poseidon. My intro to the Getters came via Mattel's Shogun Warriors and the Force Five Starvengers so these guys sing to my inner child.

Top five Gokin in my collection:
SOC GX-68 Gaogaigar SOC GX-62 Danguard Ace SOC GX-04S UFO Robo Grendizer, All Spazers Set SRC Grendizer & Spazer Sentinel x T-REX - Getter 1
Some non-Gokins that need to be recoginzed IMO : Bandai Gashapon Combattler V (smaller version of the GX-03 SOC figure), and Tetsujin 28-gou [2004] Kaiyodo X Glico TimeSlip.

I have yet to play with my GX-68. It is still in the seal box. I, therefore, unable to count or recognise how I like or dislike it.
