What other great chogokins (be it Takara, Popy, Takatoku, Bullmark or Clover) made in 1983 beside Dynaman & Poem Govarian?

Here's a list of diecast toys that came out in 1983: www.zincpanic.com/advanced_search_results.phtml?search=QEBAdHJ1ZXx0cnVlfHRydWV8dHJ1ZXx0cnVlQEBAMTk4M3wxOTgzfHx8fDU5fEBAQHx8fHx8fEBAQHx8QEBAdHJ1ZQ==&toys=1

I love that feature of your site, Inwards!

So Metal Joe, what's the reason for focusing on that particular year?

I put my collection on 2 categories , small and big. I got some big ones from the year 1983 but cannot find any good small chogokins from that year. I also learned that some of the well known toy companies had closed down by that year so I assumed that the choice would be rather limited

I'd say the mini albegas robot is one of my favorites and one of the best.

LMK if you need reference material.

Do you have the picture, Ed? Is it heavy and full of die cast?

Here is a Roman Hyper Hobby Mook reference. You will see the box and also the smaller Albegas by their ship...it is SLIGHTLY different in markings and with interchangeable legs. The insides of the legs are heavy diecast. The chest as I recall has some diecast too. The chest plates as I recall can swap also...thats why the top of the torso has a different color when viewed from above.
