Just want to know what was your first SOC and why, plus which is your favorite. For me it's easy since GX-04 (Grendizer) was my first SOC because I loved the old Force Five series and he was my favorite Super Robot and even today after 30+ different SOC is still my favorite.
Infact GX-04 was my first major foray into Japanese diecast specifically SOC's. So I also blame him for my diecast addiction ;D.

Getter Dragon! was my first SOC. at the time I didn't have much money to get any of the earlier ones. And plus "Getta robo G" or Starvenger was my childhood favorite! I've always wanted those chogokin toys when I was small (Shogun Warriors). And now I finally had Chogokin that I always dreamed of! And I bought arrow and Posideon ASAP on the same day. still trying to pick up all the force five characters. Gaiking is on my list.. then Grendizer. Oh I hope they have a danguard ace soon!(kind of glad they put some space between.. my wallet is still recovering from those purchases)

My first SOC was the GX-01 Mazinger Z because he was the first on the line and I just love Diecast toys. And so far still my favorite is GX-04 Grendizer.

This it's gonna be embarrasing Chen & friends.... Gx-11. I bought her first because I wanted to try out the line before getting expensive ones. But I like her now. My favorite would be GX-01R, MY JEWEL!

My first "official" SOC is the gx-04s and so far my fave. I say official because I bought the gx-01 when it came out but immediately sold it for fear of my life if my dear wife found out (she wasn't as understanding of my collecting back then :-)).

GX02 Great Mazinger is my first SOC. But I have a hard time picking out my favorite SOC. Still possibily GX02. Great Mazinger wasn't even my top favorite super robot design, but I find no flaws at all in my GX02, and the sculpt is just awesome. It has enough gimmick & accessories to be really fun, but without being excessive or hindering the solidness of the toy. Other SOCs are really fun in their own ways, some more complex than others, while some have more flaws than others as well. But the GX02 gave me the most satisfying purchase out of all.

GX01r Mazinger Z was my first and is still my favorite. So solid, so many gimmicks, (the jet scrander's wings are still my favorite SOC gimmick) and it doesn't hurt that it's my favorite robot. The GX06 Getters and Dancougar come up very close behind though.

My first one was GX-03B, I saw him on ebay for cheap and I couldn't resist... I had Dancougar on pre-order at the time and wanted to see what the SOC gattais were like. I was kinda disappointed with the size and some of the gimmicks nevertheless, I haven't looked back since.

Hmm... lessee... my first I believe was the GX-01R. He and GX-11 were on sale at HLJ at the time. I fell in love with him immediately because, like Chen, I too have fond memories of childhood cartoons.
Two very close runners-up are Aoshima's Mazinkaiser (for the sheer size) and of course, GX-04. These two are also special to me. Seeing the Mazinger in the Mazinkaiser OVA was an absolute kick. And secondly, Grendizer was always that elusive robot I knew nothing about... Goldorak was all the rage when I was little, but I couldn't understand French back then.
Every time the courier guy showed up at my office to deliver one of these guys, there was always a crowd of folks my age gathered around to bask in the glory of nostalgia. And that feeling, above all else, is why GX-01R tops my list.

My first SOC was GX-07 Mazinger Z OVA Version. My favorite, so far, has to be The Boss; why? because he's the Damn Boss! That's why!

GX04S for me on both counts. Getting it in the mail was the revelation. Opening it was a state of grace. The amt of accessories and features that it had was insane and the craftsmanship was breathtaking.
