Hey everyone,
I was wondering how you guys are displaying your Soul of Chogokin. Are you displaying with the bases some of them come with holding all of their assorted accessories? Or do you keep the bases and many of the accessories in the box?

It depends on the figure and the base. I generally don't use the bases unless they add something to the figure on display. The Gunbuster base is a nice example with its support tower. Or the Battle Fever Robo compliments the figure well. Also the Mazinger Fembots really need their bases to be secure. But many of the others quickly eat up needed display space. Especially the ones that are really just weapons racks. Those I largely leave in the box. Daitarn 3's is a great example of a pointless cluttered heap that eats up acres of real estate on a shelf.

if the base can hold every thing then yes display it with the base if not display the figure only and keep the accessories in the box

Without the base because I don't have much space in my display. But maybe soon I'll try some.

I use the base if it comes with one. But I keep most accessories in the box, I like when it's pure!

Hey Actionawesome, how you doin?
I will use the base if it can double as storage. Otherwise, I display it without the base.

That is how I have for a long time but I have been considering putting accessories in baggies and just leave out stands or get rid of them altogether. Dusting all those bits lol

I don't have my collection displayed, but if I did, I'd use bases yes.
But just for the robots themselves. I don't care that much about accesories, so I'd leave them all in the box. But if a robot comes with an individal base, then yeah I'm using it. So yes to pedestals, no to weapon racks.

Depends on space and how many you have. When I first started getting SOC's, used to display them all with the base, but ran out of room quick, so the bases went back in the box. =(
If you do display them with the bases, think about all the dust getting on the accessory bits!

I don't have my collection displayed, but if I did, I'd use bases yes. "I don't always display my SOCs, but when I do, I display them with their bases."

So it seems many use the bases but not with the accessories on them?

I use the base and accessories on them. I put out the base as much as I can, unless they don't hold the accessories well, or can't hold all of them. Digging up boxes from storage just for a couple pieces is a pain.

i try to display my SOCs along with their weapon racks if i have the space. any excess items will be transferred to ziplock bags and the box thrown away. yes, i dont keep SOC boxes anymore because of the lack of space.

I hold my breath & almost fainted when I read youre not keeping those beautiful art figured chogokin boxes.....lol
Anyway no display bases for me as well as my Detolfs are sooooo cramped. Base & other weapons/accessories are kept in their respective boxes/ziplocks within a box inside a closet. Wifeys complaing too much about the boxes occupying space. LoL!
