Hello everyone,

I found this forum a while ago when I was researching size and scale for different models, I found Gold's 2010 post regarding scale of various Super and Real Robots invaluable and when I decided to purchase a few Gokin recently I found mpchi's review extremely helpful. When I realized I kept coming back to the forum for great reviews and photos I should really make an account. That was last year during PCS season and I put off posting until our household goods arrived from overseas and I finished getting the house setup. Time sure flies!

About me: my love of giant robots started like a lot of others by watching Voltron (GoLion) and Gigantor (Tetsujin-28) as a youngster, and really enjoying franchises like Gundam, Macross and Captain Harlock as they made their way stateside in various forms. I'm very fortunate that my wife also enjoys giant robots and we've watched a lot of the classics, Mazinger, Getter Robo, Daitarn 3 together.

I mostly collect small scale figures (gashapon) that I use for tabletop gaming. Over the last 5 years or so I've started collecting larger models since I love seeing a sense of scale between an 18m robot and a 60m one. My most recent purchase was the SoC Getter Emperor after reading the reviews by mpchi, Getterboi and Gold. I'll need to take some collection photos after I get our hobby room cleaned up a bit.

Welcome aboard brother!!
