Can anyone provide one? I thought I knew them all until I saw Daimos and Tetsujin28 in Ed's collection. They're not in the catalogue I've been working off of.

The famous lineup:Tetsujin 28 Chogo....DX Voltes V DX Combattra DX Goggle V DX Guardian DX Sun Vulcan DX God Marz DX Godsigma DX GoLion DX Daltanious DX Daltanious chrome-mirror advertizing stand
Later releases or ones not on the catalog back:Goggle Cesear (Big scale toy) Daileion DX Vavilos DX small Vavilos Dancougar DX Small Dancougar Bioman DX Small Bioman Albegas ships (ships from the "Voltron 2" Gladiators) BioDragon Dynaman DX Small Dynaman Dynagarry Laserion DX Small Laserion Machineman DX Small Machineman Shuttlebase for Machineman Machine Dolphin
Mini Godaikins:Voltes V Leopardon Combattra Mazinga Z Daitetsujin 28 (maybe one or two I can't remember)
"Mini Godaikin erasers" of the Glague (yet another Bandai) series of toys....don't know why..... That listing is off the top of my head. Others may find a few omissions  -Ed |

I belive the Mini Godaikin erasers were from the Gallat series. I don't have a good picture of mine but here is one from alan's collection from a long time ago.  |

Here we go. This looks pretty complete and accurate. members.aol.com/ghudson110/mwp/SMRRgodaikins1.htmlI had no idea there were so many GoDaiKin toys released! I thought GoDaiKin was only released in '84 and failed almost immediately. Can anyone provide the exact years GoDaiKin was produced? How soon after was Go Lion resold as Voltron? I thought that was '84, but that was when GoDaiKin was in full swing. |

I'd still super appreciate it if anyone could provide me with the exact years in which GoDaiKin was distributed in America. Anyone?

From TBDX (Steve H ) it looks like you saw it: ****************************** I can comfirm that Bandai had *some* releases of Godaikin products in 1982, but it may have been a limited, store exclusive release. It was Feb. 1982, I was in Chicago, and visiting the FAO Schwarts (sp) store at Water Tower, and there was this *beautiful* GoLion, and Tetsujin 28, and a couple others..all were in the $80 and up range...ahh, for a time machine... anyway, the Godaikin line was cancelled, but you could still find them clearanced out (you know, 'red ticket') as late as...hmmm...1987 IIRC...I know Children's Palace had bulk stock of them in 1986, Kay Bee had some, Toys R Us took a couple years to finally clear out their GodMars...excuse me, 'GodMarz'... I know I scored most of mine during that time... paid $20 for my Godmars, got Goggle Robo for $6, Bio Robo was $12...but I missed Dancougar ("Oh, I'll pick that up later...." famous last words!).... *********** Drifand "According to a Chogo mook by Yuji Nishimura, the first Godaikins were indeed made in 1982. However the last date noted for such " |

Ha! I STARTED that thread, Ed Yepperie. I wanted to share it with our users, so I decided to copy it. |
