Hi guys! I normally don't post in these boards, but I am looking to buy more Soul of Chogokin figures in the very near future. I have had purchased very few of them in the last 2 years. I am happy to say I own the GoLion/Voltron release and I cannot believe it has not gotten a second wave release.
So the reason why I am posting today is because I am having difficulty on which one I should buy next. I was thinking about buying Daltanius or Dancouga. I heard Dancouga's a bit outdated and overpriced, but I love the show so much!
What are your top 10 SOC figures of all time and which is of the highest quality (excluding voltron and dx releases)?

My Top 10 SOC from my collection in order
GX-71 Golion GX-68 GaoGaiGar GX-40 Godmars GX-60 God Sigma GX-46 Dygenguar & Aussenseiter GX-59 Daltanious GX-34R Gunbuster GX-65 Daitarn 3 GX-61 Daioja GX-48 Big-O
I wish I had a Voltes V, Combattler V, and Daimos but now I'll just wait for the DX versions when it happens.
Honorable Mention: Not SOC, but I was super impressed with Hi Metal R Dougram in 2017. The SOC DC versions of Mazinger, Great Maz, and Getter-1 are excellent recent releases if you missed any previous versions, and they'll look great with the upcoming DC Grendizer, and they are still very affordable at the moment.

Wow, didn't know that GX-59 was on most your top 10 lists. Too bad the Voltes 40th anniversary is a fortune now. I saw one person bring up GaoGaiGar. I agree on that one because its pretty well articulated after watching the reviews on youtube. Megazord was a bit underwhelming unfortunately. I'm pretty much down to: Daltanious Dancouga GGG Gx-70 Mazinger (noir version) LOL I already have Gypsy danger on preorder I'm also saving to get the Metal Build F91 Gundam (Harrison) and the Hi-Metal Regult two pack. And yes, that Hi-Metal Dougram is an underrated masterpiece. I would love to see a Gunbuster version of that figure for the sake of it

I have a handful of SOC, yes my favourite is voltron but the others go something like:
1)Voltron 2)Godmars. Love the transforming and that it has perfect transformation only, keeps things simple. I love the characterful robots. 3)Voltes V 40th. Nice and simple, beautiful bot. 4)Danguard Ace. Again, simple and beautiful. 5)Daioja. Astonishing design but a bit fiddly, interesting transformation, nice when you want to sit down and spend time transforming. 6)Godsigma. I like his simplicity, his combined aesthetic I find less appealing than the above robots but he is still very good, less fiddly than daioja.

Hi-Metal version of Gunbuster and of course YF-19 from Macross Plus. Glorious anime it was The SOC Gunbuster is quite glorious. I don't see how HMR can improve on the toy. For the YF-19, look for the Arcadia version. Bandai also made a DX Chogokin of a VF-19Advance (the non-prototype that appeared briefly in Macross Frontier).

The one downside is you started with what was arguably the best of them all GX-71 Voltron. If you are deciding between Daltanious and Dancouga go with Daltanious first. Both because it is a much better figure and because supplies of its rerelease from 2 years ago are drying up. If you like combiners then GaoGaiGar is a must have. God Sigma and God Mars are superb in a chunky way but will be hard to find at a decent price. The Anniversary Voltes V is also a must have. I assume you have or have looked at GX-72 Daizyujin?
There really aren’t many bad SOC’s. GX-69 Goldymarg is a lousy stand alone robot, but as an add on for GaoGaiGar he is almost a must have. Kotetsujin Jeep is an example of an awful SOC that should just be skipped. The magnets aren’t strong enough and he falls apart. I would skip any of the Evangelion SOC’s. If you like EVA the Soul Spec versions are much better. Other than that it will largely be a matter of what you can find at a decent price. Price and availability will drive your collecting more than a Best to worst list.

Just give it a hair less wobble at the knee's would be the only thing I can think of. I love the SOC it's an engineering masterpiece. But it, Dancouga and Ideon are the ones that I always worry about shelf diving just from that slight play they have at the knee from the transformation joints.
