Heh, I own one SOC too (the GX-09MA, which isn't retro at all). LOL! Dude, this is so bizzarre. I kid you not, the GX-09MA is the same single SOC that I own too! wEiRdNeSs..

It looks great. 18700 yen though? I can only hope Diamond brings it over here and that bcbcomics puts it up for pre-order at a much easier-to-swallow price.

Godannit... that's a huge chunk of change, but I'm with you, vendetta-- if Diamond brings it out, I'm going to have to try to scrape the cash together for it!

Holy cow! Those pics made me jump out of my seat! Awesome. But I don't get the price, I was expecting it to be lower since unlike the GGGG this thing doesn't have much accessories(most of it's moves are hand to hand combat based so not much to include here in terms of weapons) andyet the price tag is around that of Voltes? Hope they lower the price(or at least make up for it by giving more accessories).

I have never seen a Max Gokin figure in person. If this piece is consistent with their other figures how much metal could we expect to see? How would it compare with the Miracle House Shin Getter, or an SOC bot? Dang! I was just at the point where I figured I'd get V5, and then just do other stuff with the money I don't really have to spare on robots in the first place.
And then I get a look at this thing. Who needs food? I have old clothes that I could wear if I just lost some weight. It's healthy to lose excess weight. Gokins for health? Yeah, that's it...
"Look Honey, now I can wear those polyester slacks I bought back in '89."
"Not if you expect to eat in the same restaurant."

They changed the sculpt on the chest from earlier pics. His torso is longer. And I think the head is smaller now too. I don't think I like it as much. And I really don't like it as much for that price! What gives here?

How would it compare with the Miracle House Shin Getter, or an SOC bot? Well in the diecast department the Aoshima is still King but the Max Gokins are not too far behind and on average have more diecast than a SOC (MF Mazinkaiser has diecast feet, legs, pelvis, torso, chest, shoulders, and forearms). What they lack in metal though they gain in pose ability and accessories. Although I can't figure out the high price on Godannar since the only accessory will probably be the sword and some extra hands. Maybe the figure itself will be larger than the previous Gaogaigar and Mazinkaiser.
