After reading all the posts i think i can make a list of the worst SOC. most of ppl here have a love or hate relationship with the robots listed below. King joe, Leopaldon, and battle fever and gold lighter are pretty high on most ppl's dislike list.
King Joe Gx-33 Leopaldon Gx-30 Battle Fever GX 32 Gold Lightan gx 28 Xabungle gx 35 Walker Galliar gx 07 mazinger ova GX 14 EVA -01 GX-05 (Daikumaryu GX 03 Combattra GX-43 daimos GX-40 Godmarz Koutetsushin Jeeg GX-01RB

My top worst SOC's... 1. Evangelion series - just doesn't make sense why they even made this line. 2. Mazinger - how many variations have to be there? 3. Gold Lightan - a guaranteed "what were you thinking" and WTF?!
As for Voltes V being one of the worst, I beg to differ. I think the looseness of the toy is a case to case basis. Mine is in tip top form.

Voltes V is a POS character anyway. I much prefer Combatler V.

There is not such a thing as too many versions/variations of Mazinger Z!

I concur - there will NEVER be too many variations/releases of Mazinger. With the arrival of Shin Mazinger I knew there would also be more Maz to come.

Xabungle, just because of how the wheels detach so easily. Bad engineering. The other ones I have are great, and I'm sure the ones I don't (the non-tranformable ones) are still pretty coo.

Not Voltes V...A Fathma will be issued for you head for disturbing the almighty Voltes V...I'd be really careful walking in dark alleys if I were you... ;D You actually beat me to the punch, I wanted to stir some s#!7 up a little, this thread is simply a long whiny b*tch session, yes, I participated and so have other mods, why do you think it is still here...We like to b*tch and cry too when we spend our money and the toy falls apart and breaks...most SOC's from GX-01 - GX 10001 will have something wrong with it. Just like the freaking Popy's it replaced. It is designed to sell us on our childhood and to own a toy we never had as a kid, broke as a kids, some kids beat us up for it as kid, our mammas threw away or worse; gave away as a kid. None of them are designed and built like the older toys that we use to be able to beat up pretty well, check the age recommendation: 16 and over, not 5 or 9 and over like the older stuff. These are collectible toys for grownups, it was never meant to give to some 5 year old and have them play with it for hours. That would certainly leave you with a broken toy.

I guess it boils down to people to loves their chogokin due to their love for the animation/manga vs people who loves their for the beauty/diecast/showcase content. If you love both, then there is no arguement.
Take Gold lightan for example, which alot of you disliked it. I bet those people have either never seem the cartoon when growing up or have no clue and just blindly collects them.

.. but at the same time, I've never seen Gold Lightan, and I love the toy for its shine, weight, and look. I think figures like Gold Lightan and Xabungle and the like get their hate more for their size than anything else; Some people just want big toys. See the GX-45 thread for example; everyone loved it until they saw it'd be a half inch shorter than the previous versions - then the rage started.
Me, I love all toys great and small. Sometimes I prefer smaller toys as big ones have issues - in particular with weight, balance, and joint strength - that can make them less enjoyable. The Fewture Getters, for example, while they look great, can't stand worth crap, and it irked me enough that I sold most of them. If they were about half the size but still had the detail and diecast content, they would be the perfect toys in my eyes.

just realized that I don't like irongear too. Its a big chunk of gokin love, but the transformation for me is just too cheesy.

This is a good point. For some people, nostalgia plays a bigger part. For me though, the design and diecast are the most important factors. For example, I love Voltron and Mazinger Z as robots but I found the cartoons extremely repetitive and pointless. I think SOC Gold Lightan is pretty cool though I have never seen the cartoon. Similarly I don't like the SOC Evas but I really like the anime.

Author, u got a good point. In case of Gold lightan - it is suppose to be small like an actual lighter size. That's same as the animation. Granted we can't expect the same size for others. The prices for the Gold lightans are reasonable. So i don't see why it should be on the list.
For Xabungle, yes i wish it would be bigger, a whole lot bigger. The actual item is in very good design and those extra accessory a plus. Too bad it was too small. However, I got it for real cheap. So I can't complaint. I paid for what i get. That's why I don't ever pre-order or buy it when they are first out. it's always too expensive. Except, for those limited items and must have!!!

The only problem I have with Xabungle and Walker Gallia is that they're shiny. In the anime and promo art they're both kicking around in the desert getting filthy and weathered like the the real robots that they are. Shiny walker machines are like shiny scopedogs or valkyries. Wrong! ;D Otherwise I really like their designs. In fact I could probably overlook the shininess because of their designs.
The only SOC that I truly hate is GX-01RB. I think it's the IDEA of the whole thing that I object to. I like limited stuff to a certain degree but this is just retarded. I'm certain you can get a GX-01R electroplated/modified for a LOT less money.
And the end result isn't even that amazing.
It's $1k of overhyped bullsh*t.
