^my list is pretty much the same...but on the same note, I'm glad they made them, because other people like them and it saved me from buying more toys

For me, the worst SOC are Gx-30 Battle Fever and Gx-33 Leopaldon. They should be in the same size!!

Awww...come on. What's so bad about Gold Lightan? While its not your favorite, doesn't mean its bad. Let alone categorized as worst....

Hmm, that's a tough one. How about GX-01RB? Hee, hee..
Well, I guess Leopaldon isn't a big favorite of mine and Gold Lightan seems sort of a pointless transformation, so I can't give him too high of marks either.

of all the SOC the worst one is ... the ones I dont own.
actually i don't really care for Xabungle for being so small and fragile and Gallier for being fragile and the Leopaldon just cause it should have been taller.
I like gold lightan its a neat figure that does exactly what its supposed Its heavy - solid , looks like like a lighter and changes into a robot. mission accomplished .
King Joe is cool. You really cant pose it. Its a combiner that works very well. I'm glad that its in scale with the Ultraman chogokin.

Leopoldan just does not appeal to me at all. I dunno, maybe if I saw the show as a kid I might.....nah who am I kidding. I also agree with GX-01RB just on principle. Don't ever do that again, Bandai!!

nothing wrong with gold lighter or any of those SoC of my list.. it just i don't like then. i have all the soc from 1 to 38 besides king joe. i used to be one of those ppl that buy every soc, no matter if its good or not. but beause of MONEY issues i decided to buy the only one that I find worth the price tag. that is why i am on the fance about King Joe.
pls dont get upset about my worst list.. it personal taste.

wow. a lot of u guys do not like OVA Maz. I kind of like him. i think he is better than the regular Maz gx 01 or gx 01r. my only problem with him is that he does not have the backpack.
my problem with my worst list is
1. Xabungle gx 28 (fragile, small and things falling off) 2. Walker Galliar gx 35 (over all i just don't like the design of this mech) 3. gold lighter gx 32 (god damn it... its a lighter that turns into a robot what fun is that) 4. leopaldon gx 33 (the space ship mode just looks silly. what were the designers thinking when puting this mech together) 5. all the eva gx 14, 15, 16, 17 and 22, 23 ( come on its 5 repaint of gx 14)

Funny how 2 of the most hated are two of my favorites and took me from a casual SOC fan to an SOC collector. I had only 1 SOC (and was only planning on having one cuz they were so expensive,) when I heard that they were making Leopaldan, and while I had never watched the show (besides the odd episodes found on youtube,) the thought of Spider-man having a giant robot was so ridiculous that I had to have it. While searching for a pre-order for it, I picked up Battle Fever on sale, and while I never watched that either, the character design, amount of weapons, and cheap price sealed the deal. I can see and understand why many SOC die-hards dislike these 2, but these two will always be amongst my favorites.
As for my "worst" list: 1. Walker Galliar 2. King Joe (I'm a big original Ultraman fan, but Ultra7 never played in my area, so I have no nostalgia towards Joe.) 3. Gaiking (GE-10) This is more of a personal thing. It's actually a good figure, but it was during my early SOC collecting days, so I didn't do my research, overpaid for it, and did not realize until after I got it that it wasn't the "original" Gaiking, but the newer anime version.

I'm going to defend the EVA's, sure there's too many repaints, I own three and they rank highly in my book.
Hands down King Joe is the worstest.

bandai came out with Kingjoe because they know mindless collectors like myself would buy anything they put a lable "Soul of Chogokin" on it. i am just waiting for HLJ to put Kingjoe on cleanance so i can buy it.

What's the point of this thread? Are you asking technically what is the worst SOC engineered or which SOC you like the least because you just don't like the design or character? Because characters like King Joe, Leopaldon, BFJ and Lightan have huge followings and importance in Japan which is the market these toys were designed for. Bandai has zero interest in what North American buyers want because we're not the majority of buyers who purchase these figures despite the number of toy-sites out there.

I'd really like to know which of the SOC has the worst engineering and has the most quality control issues.
i don't like Xabungle it i think it could have been larger and the plastic and joints are fragile to me. One of mine has a cracked hip joint .

for me the worst are gx'07 mazinger ova (another fu**ing maz) and the the sh!ty thing from ultraman, and dont even remeber their name. I beg to differ. ;D GX-07 OAV Mazinger is one of the best SOC's I have. Paint Job, aesthetics, and stability wise, 07 kicks 01R butt. The only thing going for 01R is the Scrander. The worst SOC I have in my collection is Gaiking (GX-28?). Collapsable leg design was poor. Mine kept retracting back even if he's just standing, and eventually falls over. Ankle joints are also very weak. I had to sell mine and had to go through a couple more before I got one that was stable enough to stand. Cool accessories though.
