That video was so amazing that I am dropping my current WST projects to work on a Gekigangar kit for the SRC Mazinger! I just can't live without it. Hopefully the smaller SRC scale will allow a cheaper set of parts to be made. Every cubic inch of 3D printed material costs around $35 so.... Yikes! A smaller kit is a must. Regardless of price, I just have to get on top of my roof and scream: GEKIGANGAAAAAAAAAAAA! Id buy one if you figure it out,or if anyone has the original kit,i wonder what it would sell for now? a G maybe?

This was made by Kanzen Hentaro. He disappeared off of the face of the earth shortly after, as I've spent years trying in vain to have someone get in touch with him. His Geki and Boss robo gokin are just as cool as original Popy to me. I would pay $2K+ for this if I ever found one, and I assume that's on the low end..

That's an awesome specimen... I wonder why the manufacturer came up with that "SOC conversion" concept? And then why sell it for just one day? zozo-mag "Originally garage kits were amateur-produced and the term originated with dedicated hobbyists using their garages as workshops. Unable to find model kits of subjects they wanted on the market, they began producing kits of their own" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_kit"In an effort to legitimize amateur garage kit production and sales in Japan, it is not uncommon for license holder to issue 'single day license' (ja:当日版権システム) where for one day only, license is granted for sale of amateur garage kits. These licensing agreement are typically negotiated between an event organizer (Wonder Festival, Character Hobby, Figure Mania, etc.) and varies licensing entities for license to characters from specific TV shows and movies." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_kit#Intellectual_property_issues

Thanks! Soooooo... if I build my model kits downstairs, can I godfather it as the Basement kit? zozo-mag
