SOC Extra items guide(pics)

[Gold]

Hi all! I thought I'd make a thread regarding the extra items from Bandai's Soul of Chogokin line. These items are sometimes solicited only in Hongkong or through some online shops.

I hope this guide will help folks in tracking down these items in the event they want to start collecting them too.

(thanks to www.greattoys.net. for helping me complete and compile this guide:) )

Posters: As far as I know posters are given to retail shops who order whole cases of the SOC character from the distributor. Although some shops get extra copies and sell or give them to their regular customers. . I'm not sure but I think not every SOC release has a corresponding poster, some SOCs don't have posters as far as I know, I may be wrong though.


Gx01 Mazinger Z(I'm not sure if there's a Japanese version of this one because the one presented here is all in Chinese characters). Measures approximately 38.5x27 inches


Gx02 Great Mazinger Approximately 27x22 inches.


Gx04 Grendizer. It's actually a calendar(I'm not sure of which year, 2001? The toy was released in 2000). It comes with a cardboard cylinder as a container. Approximately 27x22 inches.



Gx04S, doesn't come with the cardboard container this time and no actual photo of the toy on the poster either.



GX13 Dancougar(still trying to find a nicer copy, mine's pretty banged up). Approximately 25x21 inches


... and that's it for the posters.




Now for the Extra items


The Getter team Keychain(cell phone accessory?)supposedly the only way to get this was get it by early pre-ordering from the distributor and the "First Extra item" The GX01B Black Mazinger mousepad.


The Combattler diecast Twinlancer


The Gx01R box and Black mini Mazinger


The Gx05R box and black mini Gaiking



Evangelion Crystal bases






Getter G crystal bases






The GX23 crystal base.. it was strange but this one costs 20$ upon its release.. arguably the most expensive "extra item" since the Getter G and Eva bases only cost 3-4$ each when they first came out.



The Gx24 Tetsujin crystal base, along with the Doubulas and Garada keychains. These came with extra outer black boxes








Comparison of Gx23-24 crystal bases. each measures 2x2x1 inches.


Mazinger Angels make-up compact.. kinda fruity but at least it's diecast.. ;D. also comes with outer black boxes







That's about it, if anyone has any other images to share please feel free to add to this thread.

Thanks for looking.

Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for posting the info and images. I only knew about half of the items. I really want the The Combattler diecast Twinlancer. Oh no, I hope this does not set-off another collection obsession. I am happy with just acquiring the color version of each SOC. Gotta focus, gotta focus...

Hong Kong version of GX-07 came with pewter Sayaka Yumi. There's a picture of the box in the SOC timeline.

good info to have.

[andrewdsz]

For gx-07,that doesnt consider as an extra since the statue is inside the box and the toy price is 7500yen.

Nice guide, i knew all of these, but i never expect to seem them all at once.

Great guide for SOC collectors and completists!

What was that house for the Mazinger Angels?

[Gold]

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I hope this guide can help fellow SOC collectors.

Here are a few close ups of the Pewter Statues. Thanks to Chen for reminding me about the Sayaka Pewter.



The Gx03B pewters of Chizuru and Ryoma/Hyoma(?)


Here's a pic of the GX06M Command Machine, kinda plasticky and feels real fragile.




And finally the GX23A Zambo Ace, main differences with the regular version is the new chrome parts on the thighs, lighter shade of gray on the gun parts and new "gold" chest and moon pieces for the Zambot3

Mazfan, I wanted that metal lancer as well until someone here told me that Combattler can barely hold since it is too heavy...

Yes, that's true, sadly, the Combattler can hardly hold the diecast lancer in it's hands due to the sheer weight and lack of ratchet joints in the elbow to help support it.

[Omni Existence]

Wow! The Gaiking Counter Cross and head keychains look sweet!

Thanks for posting the pics Gold!

[GDomino]

yep... Thanks for this guide Gold. I wish they would make more bases similar to the Tetsujin... I'd like for the Mazingers

[Amuro]

What a cool stuff! Thanks Gold for the info!

[www-greattoys-net]

to chen: actually the GX-07 with Sayaka pewter is a Japan Toys Dream Project exclusive and not from HK.. they added a "limited edition" sticker over the TDP logo for the HK release? I was thinking that TDP might get mad because they lost thier exclusivity to that limited item?

to gold: congrats on your collection! very nice indeed! i wasn't able to collection the limiteds like you did..

to everyone else: try to find other exclusives that Gold doesn't have so that he would have sleepless nights hehehe..

[Gold]

Hehehe

Time for an update

The extra items are just an add-on and are sold separately.

[Gold]

These are Hongkong limited/exclusive items. Meaning if you ordered from HLJ or from Japan they don't have any of the items included. Some Ebay sellers sell the items solo though.


The Posters were available only to Hongkong Toyshops who ordered "cases" of the SOC units. Some shops sold the posters as well. I'm not sure if there were other posters out there other than what I posted here though.

The Limited Hongkong version outer box of the Gx18-20 Getter G Team reissue(the original individual boxes of each Getter is packed inside). The Japan release reissued the 3 bots individually(hence no outer "group"box)


A second bonus is included, the wooden display case with acrylic plastic window. The insides have mirrors.


BTW the glass mirrors in the case have scratch-guard films that you can peel off.






As usual, Thanks again to Greattoysonline for the items.
