Mazinger Z & Super Robots (Shogun Warriors) and other Mecha - Official thread!!

[Kuzeh]

EDIT: This thread is now for all Super Robots (Shogun Warriors) including but not limited to:
Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Mazinkaiser, Getter Robo, Giant Robot, Tetsujin 28, Reideen, Combattler, Gaiking, etc...

So,
Seeing that there's a lot of anime fans here, I'm wondering where are the Mazinger Fans out there??

Even though the original TV show is from the 70's, it was hugely popular in Latin America in the 80's. I grew up watching this cartoon in Mexico, that along with Tetsujin 28 and Astroboy set the bar for future anime shows and definetely are one of go Nagai's most influential creations.

This are product pics of the Soul of Chogokin series from Bandai by Tim Brisko!
Mazinger Rules!!!

Being a huge Soul of shogokin fan, I'm looking forward to seeing your collection. I myself own 4 of the 6 Eva's - still need the yellow and the red one, a Mazinger Z OVA version, a Tetsujin 28 repaint version (getting the original soon), Black Ox, a Ufo Robot Grendizer black version, Daiku Maryu Gaiking black version. Not that I prefer the black versions over the colored ones, but at the time, these were the only ones I could get my hands on. Usually I only buy these robots if I can find them for a good price, but even at full price, they are worth the money.

[B-kun]

I didn't really watch the show, but I've got a couple of the diecast figures-- the Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and the Mazinkaiser released by Aoshima and the more recent Max Factory one. Here's an old collection pic, you can see three of them lined up in the back:

One of my favorite renditions of Mazinger was the steampunk re-imagining done by Fewture, Mazinger 1901 (this one was a repaint color version):

Not made out of diecast, ABS plastic I think, but very nicely detailed...

Fewture is releasing a new set of diecast re-designs as part of their EX Gokin (http://artstorm.co.jp/ex_gokin_series.htm) line called Mazinger 1969, they look pretty trippy, very organic:

I need the EVA 00 blue version, which I heard was really nicely done. And I have 2 Kaneda bikes as well, the other's still in its box. When I heard they were doing the bike as a chogokin, I was totally geeked :)

The Blue EVA was the first I ever got. It's exactly as all the other EVAs, awesome. It comes with the spear of Longines, as you know. Remembering buying the blue EVA is as joyful, as it is sad: I had the chance to buy the red and the yellow EVA too, but I only bought the blue. So now, I'm still trying to complete the set by hunting down the red and yellow EVAs!

[Shai]

GRENDIZER WAS BETTER.:cool:

[galactiboy]

I love the SOC figures... I only have 2 of them (used to have 3), but I think they are fantastic. I also have the 70's Gaiking Shogun Warrior, which is one of my favorites.

Super Robot Chogokin by Bandai!!!

http://tomopop.com/announcing-the-super-robot-chogokin-figure-line-by-bandai-12458.phtml


Announcing the Super Robot Chogokin figure line by Bandai

by Andres Cerrato on 05/18/2010

The overlords at the Bandai Collectors Division decided that it's not enough to parade around new kits at Shizuoka without showing off their great line of action figures. Teased around for months has been the unveiling of a new chogokin line of figures. The new line was formally announced today as Super Robot Chogokin. The figures will resemble Bandai's popular of Soul of Chogokin line, but will be around 6 inches in height and feature PVC and ABS plastics alongside die-cast metal.

To usher in the new line, the first figure detailed is Mazinger Z, who will be priced at 3675 yen in August. Alongside will be a separate weapons pack, loaded with effect parts, released on its own for 1050 yen. The following month will see the release of Great Mazinger, coming in at 4725 yen. The last of the known releases will be Super Robot Wars OG's Alteisen, which will be available for an October release for 5040 yen.

The best part of this line has yet to be fully announced, but by judging from the prototype samples on display, this could end up being a tremendous line-up. Daizengar, Gear Fighter Dendoh, Cybuster, Raideen and God Raideen, Sun Vulcan, and Shin Ken-O are all figures that I could easily want right this moment. I'd kill a man if they promised me a Dragon Cesar (Dragonzord) in this line. Seriously, I'd do it.

This line-up holds a ton of promise and looks to remain in a decent price range. What super robots or sentai mechs would you kill for in this line?

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah im pumped for those Super Robot Chogos, they look awesome, my one complaint is that they look like revoltechs. Lets hope Bandai puts some diecast in there...and not just use it as a marketing ploy. I do love that there doing the Super Sentai robots like shinken-oh and Vulcan also I see Altstein in those pics...cant wait for him also.

Yeah that teaser trailer for the Daiku Maryu Gaiking trailer looks so awesome. Well hopefully once I get the house cleaned up and I get my shelves back in order I'll be able to put all my robots back up on display.

Yeah Im still not 100% sure its going to happen.
I grew up watching Getter Robo actually what I watched was Getter G which in the states it was Force 5 Starvengers. One of the greatest cartoons ever. Along with Dangard Ace, Grendizer and Gaiking. Some fantastic Force 5 action.

http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2010/05/gaiking-movie-update.html

May 11, 2010

'Gaiking' movie update

It's been over a month and a half since the world learned that Gaiking, a movie about giant robots, was in the works.

The project is based on a 1970s Japanese anime series but was better known in North America as a toy line and Marvel Comics series called “Shogun Warriors.”

Jules Urbach is the man spearheading the project, which is using a technology called Lightstage, a next generation of scanning technology that already won an Academy Award for its use in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” (That movie's director, David Fincher, is big proponent of it.)

Heat Vision decided to check in with Urbach to see what the latest is.


Heat Vision: What can you tell us about the genesis of the "Gaiking" movie?

Jules Urbach: It came out of our work with Fincher. We were talking about doing something for "Heavy Metal."

At the time, it was Kevin Eastman and a few other guys that were going to do a bunch of shorts for him, and he said to me, "I can give you seven minutes if you come up with something cool." And being such a huge fan of these properties, I had been touch with Toei for years. Going back to 2002, I've been asking them to the rights of "Captain Harlock." And it turned out that the rights to "Gaiking" were more or less available.

So when Fincher's project came up, I said I want to do a super robot short. And he said sure, but you got to pick two "Heavy Metal" songs. So I picked Nightwish's "Dark Chest of Wonders" and "Planet Hell," and went ahead planning out a seven-minute "Gaiking" short with Toei's blessing.

But "Heavy Metal," it was at Paramount at one point, it was at another studio, then Cameron got involved, and it lost its home. We ended up taking "Gaiking" and just worked on it and worked on it, and it kept building and building.

And at some point, Toei said, "Wait a minute, you guys can do a whole movie now at this quality." They backed us and then other people came on board and we were able to turn this into a pretty big film.

HV: "Transformers" is pretty huge. and there's a "Voltron" movie in the works. Is there room for something like "Gaiking" that isn't that well known here?

Urbach: "Voltron" really took off because of the great cartoon. "Gaiking" never had that and neither did "Shogun Warriors" as a whole. The only thing we had was "Four Spies" here in the U.S. And that was only shown on the East coast for a little bit. I can only imagine how this property would have been perceived if we had a normal cartoon.

In France or Italy, this is bigger than Spider-Man. Toei understands this will do very well in Europe, where the cartoon is well-known. They approached us because they wanted somebody outside Japan to take a crack at this.

Our goal was to figure out a way that would be appealing to an American audience. And while there's a lot of people who played with the toys, we are not counting on any of that. For most people, this will be completely new.

And I think we did a good job introducing it, even from that little teaser. It's just been exciting to be introducing it to a lot of people and seeing their reaction.

HV: Are you worried about the title being a little inaccessible? Why not go with "Shogun Warriors"?

Urbach: We wanted to introduce one robot and thought it should be the focus of the film. It's like you want to introduce Superman before you introduce the Justice League, right?

The title is something that we're still looking at. It's in the mix. We are very aware of the possible limitations. I can't speak for Toei, so I can't speak how it will be used in the marketing of that film. We just want to use it wisely.

HV: There was a time when there were a lot of giant robot cartoons. And now with special effects technology being where it is, we're poised for a movement in movies. What do you think is the appeal of giant robots?

Urbach: Gaiking and those kinds of robots, you're talking about giant robots that are piloted by humans. You're not talking about Transformers, where they are their own characters. These robots are the extension of the pilots; they are really like giant suits of armor. So it's really the people inside them that are the characters. That is a huge differentiator. Gaiking is one pilot. It's really the pilot expressing himself through this giant mecha.

HV: So what's the status of “Gaiking” now?

Urbach: I guess you can say we're in preproduction. The reason we released the teaser when we did is we're done designing the robot. And even a lot of the costumes and the characters. We basically put as much as was ready to be shown in the teaser. And the next step is get a writer -- we have a treatment for the movie -- and get a full-blown script. That should be done in the next three months.

And we're looking at 2012 as a potential release date, but it's not set. It could be 2013.

[ArmoredFoe]

I like that they have a female pilot, but at the same time I'll miss that 70's looking funk with Aires piloting. I'll tell you right now that little teaser trailer blew transformers 2 away.

[Computron34]

The new Super robots line is going to be awesome!

[Deadly Dagger]

That trailer was awesome...love the modern look of Gaiking.
Just started picking up a few SOC...Garada and Reideen...Mazinger is next (gx-45)

[fantasymaker]

This trailer is great man , wow really looks awesome .

[ArmoredFoe]

I wonder if there going to just leave it in that robot mode or are they going to get into the space dragon stuff before its actual Gaiking transformation.

[Kuzeh]

I hope they do the whole "Kargosaur"...

A quick sneak peek @ part of my collection...
I have a few more pics I shot over the weekend including SOC, Gashapons and more!!

[ArmoredFoe]

The super robot wars games are really awesome if your into turn based strategy. The last SRW game I played was Alpha and that was a damn long time ago. The new ones that are out now they do more super deformed stuff, but alot of times get exclusive new robots which alot of times spawn into there own exclusive toys as well. If you like turn based games there awesome, if not you might be bored, but seeing all the classic robots just makes me so happy.

Im just glad there are people who still appreciate the old robots. Alot of these new anime and robots I dont really care for. Hopefully Bandai will someday make Dairugger (vehicle voltron) or even a SOC of GO-Lion.

Which Mazinkaiser is that in the photo...is that an aoshima?
I was thinking about getting one of those.

[admith]

If you are asking about this Mazinkaiser, it's not from Aoshima. It's from Max Factory, distributed by Good Smile Company. I have it and is the better Mazinkaiser figure IMO:

Yep, without Tetsujin or mazinger, there wouldn't be Gundam, Evangelion or even Transformers...

I'd love Dairugger and Voltron...
How about this one?:

:lol
Best Mazinkaiser out there indeed!!

[chewblacca]

I am lovin' this thread! Question though, can anyone tell me which super robot came first? I have mazingers, grendizers, and getter robos, but I would like to know the order of their release. I'm pretty sure that the first one was tetsujin, but I know that mazinger is pretty old too.

[ArmoredFoe]

Tetsujin came before Mazinger. Tetsujin, Mazinger, Getter Robo,Great Mazinger and Grendizer was the follow up to Mazinger...some how apparently. Then if Im not mistaken Getter G came to light.

Ok cool I wasnt sure if that was the Aoshima or the Maxfactory. Ok I'll have to look into that, Yeah thats a nice Mazinkaiser all around.

[Kuzeh]

Correct,
Tetsujin came out in the late 50's and was widely popular in the 60's
Mazinger in 72...

[ArmoredFoe]

@ Kuzeh, yeah I have that toynami Lion Voltron, along with the old Voltron. When i put the 2 side by side there a funny to see. The old voltron is so fat and not articluated at all...while the new sleeker toynami voltron is pretty nice. As I said I just wish someone would do a Vehicle Voltron...excluding those new vinyls that are being released. I want a transformable verision like the old one as well, but with the sleekness that the new lions have.

[OMG]

[ArmoredFoe]

Is that the Soul SPEC Chogokin...it doesnt look like it has any diecast in it. Really nice design on that unit.

[chewblacca]

Those SOC's are cool I always wondered what they looked like. I saw at big bad toy store they had some SOC's on sale. I really like the jeeg robot. Does anyone know anything about him? The only anime I could find on him is in Italian.

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah Jeeg is a cool robot, along with the anime but he often gets overshadowed by Mazinger, but both were created by Go Nagai.
Id be careful of the Chogokin though. When they made jeeg bandai was experimenting with a new build for the chogokins. Jeeg is connected by magnets at the shoulders and hips. Ive heard hes ok, but also heard that sometimes his arms or legs will just randomly fall off since its only a magnet holding them together. If its for a good price might be worth the risk though. Ive just heard that sometimes hes not very sturdy. Hes one of the ones I passed on when it initially released from all the reviews I read.

[chewblacca]

Thanks for the info!

If you are asking about this Mazinkaiser, it's not from Aoshima. It's from Max Factory, distributed by Good Smile Company. I have it and is the better Mazinkaiser figure IMO:

http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig04/10043298a4.jpg

I just got this recently and I have to agree it is definitely the beter Mazinkaizer figure. I owned the Aoshima version for a short period, while its heavy and a really great die-cast toy, it's just not very fun and poseable.

The Maxfactory Mazinkaiser has great articulation, tonnes of accessories and a kick *** display base. Get the Maxfactory version if u have the cash, definitely worth it.

I agree with you, Probably the Maxfactory has better detail but the Aeoshima respects the size and his scrander is big well as in the series.

For me both are great , Each one has some points to favor and others in against, If we compare them with the series, without doubts the Aeoshima is more accurate by his size and scrander.

OK... Voltron re-launch now...


http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118020276.html?categoryid=1050&cs=1


TV and toys set to relaunch 'Voltron'
Latest project to scrap plans to reboot via bigscreen
By MARC GRASER

The reintroduction of "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" will begin with an animated series on Nicktoons and a new toy line from Mattel rather than leap straight onto the bigscreen.
That's the plan from rights holders World Event Prods and Classic Media, which are attempting to relaunch the massive robot, popular in the 1980s, to a new generation.

It's the latest of several properties to scrap plans for an initial film in favor of relaunching the brand through TV and toys.

Warner Bros.' animation aims to produce an anime-influenced version of "ThunderCats" for Cartoon Network to revive the '80s property, which has had a feature treatment stuck in development.

Likewise billionaire Haim Saban bought back "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" from Disney last month for about $100 million to reboot as TV shows on Nickelodeon and toys.

Starting next year, Nicktoons will air 26 half-hour episodes of "Voltron Force," about five space explorers who pilot robotic lions that combine to form Voltron, an invincible guardian sworn to defend the Universe.

Series will remain faithful to the old show, while introducing new recruits to fight alongside the original characters.

New episodes will be timed to the 25th anniverseries. It's the first "Voltron" TV project in 10 years, although an iPhone game came out in December.

WEP and Classic Media ("Casper the Friendly Ghost," "Where's Waldo?") will produce the toon with Kickstart Prods. ("Wolverine and the X-Men"). Classic Media is shepherding international distribution, merchandising and licensing deals.

Mattel will tie-in with the anniversary to launch toys based on the classic "Voltron" range, as well as action figures and playsets that revolve around an edgier, modernized robot. There is no date on when the toys will hit shelves.

"What's paramount is getting the toys right," Ted Koplar, president of St. Louis-based WEP told Daily Variety. "They're pretty involved toys that have to transform and fit together."

WEP and Classic Media had been developing a live action feature for some time but scribes, including Justin Marks, have yet to lock down the right tone, producers said.

Hasbro took the opposite approach with "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe," relying on the first films in the franchises in 2007 and 2009 to introduce new toys for the lines.

The move to TV makes sense: "Transformers," "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" and "G.I. Joe" were introduced to kids via shows produced by Hasbro and Mattel to sell toys. "It's an exciting way to introduce the brand to a generation that isn't familiar with 'Voltron,'" Koplar said.

Yeah I heard about Saban buying back, PR from Disney...since they didnt know what to do with them. Lets hope they release more zords. As for Voltron...bring it on, I'll buy a few more voltron bots i do wish vehicle votlron would get some recognition...its always the Lions in the U.S.

Thanks man, yeah im hoping that mazinkaiser comes out in another form somewhere down the road. It looks like Bandai is trying to slim down the chogokin line with this smaller "super robot" vesrsions. Dont get me wrong I love them, but it leads me to beleive that this line will intake all the smaller robots and leave the actual Chogokin line for the bigger robots and maybe combiners with a bigger price tag.

[spanky]

love it! can't wait for that kaiser.

[ArmoredFoe]

Being that its going to be a web exclusive the price on thta bad boy are going to go thru the roof quick. I wish bandai/tamashii wouldnt do the whole web exclusive thing.

[Kuzeh]

Looks very different from previous Mazinger/Mazinkaiser anime... but I'm still curious!!
:rock!!

[ArmoredFoe]

That was pretty awesome, not sure if Go Nagai has anything to do with Maz Skl, but seeing all the violence and the "I want to rape" you imagery with the female bots, I wouldnt doubt that Nagai loves every minute of it if he isnt behind it. Hes always been big on hyper violence and basically treating women like sex objects...looks pretty awesome so far. Hopefully this will get released in the US. Im sure down the road other toys will be released.

[Kuzeh]

Yeah, he's a genius but pretty twisted at times...
he has a bit of a fetish with female Super Robots in sexual situations... :lol
yet he also is one of the few to have feisty empowered heroic women... just looks at Sayaka in the 70's...

And yes, Dynamic Planning is producing this one! :rock!!
As for the toys, I don't know... this line seems to be more obscure than the Shin Mazinger one, I just hope I can get this guy eventually...

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah Sayaka along with Cutey Honey. Great stuff regardless.
Isnt Dynamic Nagais company, well I cant wait to see the whole anime. As for the toys...yeah being as how the first figure is a damn web exclusive, i do think that it might be scarce. If Bandai doesnt do it, maybe Aoshima or Max Factory will do a version.

Maybe the reveal will be until the last day of the show...
:lol

[ArmoredFoe]

wow...thats the one thing I hate is that Bandai milks the crap out of Mazinger...dude there are so many versions of mazinger. I do like that battle damaged one though. I might think about picking him up.

I wonder if the fist is suppoesd to be the shin mazinger super rocket punch, when maz himself changes into a flying fist...not sure, but just a guess.

[Kuzeh]

OK, a bit of bad news...
the BD Mazinger is actually a custom display as you can see in the next picture, and the rest are just part of a new accessory pack, which looks pretty cool!! :rock!

sucks that the BD version is a custom...id actually buy one of those. Well hopefully they release a regular SKL version and not a web exclusive because those tamashii web exclusives get crazy expensive. I wouldnt mind having a Maz SkL though.

I think I might actually sell a few of my SOC's just to thin out the herd a bit, make room for new stuff. Thanks for the updates Kuzeh.

[Kuzeh]

I might get the Tamashii Exclusive, regardless of the price...
It just too damn cool!!!

My SOC figures are some of the items in my collection that I don't want to sell ever...
I have other stuff that would go first!

BTW I just scored a GX-47 Energer Z for $40.00 shipped!
:rock!

[ArmoredFoe]

Its funny you mention that because when I got home from work yesterday...I looked thru my stuff that I was thinking of selling and I just couldnt do it. There just such awesome figures and its almost like there my childhood memories. Alot of those robots I grew up watching as a kid and just cant sell them.

As you said I'll have to look at some of my other bots to get rid of.
Thats a steal for the Energer Z, good score.

[ArmoredFoe]

Kuzeh, its up at BBTS man go check it. I was thinking about it, but for $150 I have to much other stuff on pre-order at the moment.
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BNP10109&mode=retail

[Kuzeh]

Holy crap!!!
$150.00!!! :horror...

I was thinking about buying from Anime Export, but have never ordered from them... once shipping is considered, it would probably end up around $140.00...
http://www.anime-export.com/product/6478

Have you ordered form the before?

If not, I wonder if I should wait for them to show up on Ebay...
Do you think it'll be cheaper there?

[ArmoredFoe]

I never ordered from Anime Export, but I know people who have and they've never had problems with them. As for ebay...i dont even want to see whats going to happen once these badboys hit evilbay man. Being that there somewhat limited I think the bay is going to raise these dudes up considerably.

I really wanted one also, but like I said at $150 I have to many other things on order to get him now. I order from BBTS all the time, but as for anime export, like I said never have but from others I know there safe.

[Kuzeh]

Thanks for the heads up... I'll wait for the time being... see what happens...

BTW, Sideshow has the High Dream Great Mazinger in pre-order!!

It's VERY basic... just swivel joints all over... head, arms, shoulders, wrists, waist, legs, knees and feet.
Can't remember if the elbows are the only hinged ones, but I'm almost positive not...

These are very old-school type vinyl figures, but kick-*** ones...
I wonder if SS will carry Grendizer as well?...

[HypnotizeMinds]

[Wanderer]

I love SOC figures but lately nothing seems to float my boat. I was into that stuff in a big way until I went into 1/6 full time. I've got:

Gun Blaster
Voltes V
Dancougar (my favourite)
Baikanfu
Iron Gear
Mazinger (Fewture)
Great Mazinger (Fewture)

Wouldn't mind picking up Ideon if I ever get a window of opportunity in between getting all the 1/6 stuff...

[godaikin]

I'm a big collector of soul of chogokin.
Dancougar and God Marz are two of my favorites. Some of these toys are re-makes of the old Godaikin line that came out in 1982. It is these Godaikin robots that started it all. They paved the way for the Go-bots and Transformers which came a few years later. They are much sought after now, and can range between $300-$3000 depending on the robot. You should also check out Daltanius. It's currently a pre-order but it is based off of the Daltanius that came out in 1982. Most of these re-makes are better engineered then the ones that came out in the 80s. And like their 80s fore-fathers, they are also made of diecast metal. Enjoy!

Those are the Soul of Chogokin Evas, aren't they? Really nice pictures. I have SoC Eva-01 and I really love it.

[erik352]

I use to collect the line, was there from the very beginning with the gx-01 mazinger. But lately they been doing a lot of obsure robots, I skip up on some, then a lot later on...there are still some good ones but I guess I just lost interest in the line..unless the come out with a robot I really really like such as classic jeeg or danguard ace. This was one of my favorite toyline before, nice price, great engineering, lots of gimmicks, great articulation, diecast, etc. But I guess they just arent producing anymore of my favorite robots.....

Thanks! Yes, these are the SOC EVAs. Best EVA's out there! Seriously, just like all SOC robots, they are awesome toys.

[ArmoredFoe]

I think the SOCs are starting to get up there in price to point of now I question which robots i'll get. It looks like the newer unfortunately smaller Super Robot Chogokins are what there trying to get out now. The actual SOC line is being left for there bigger combining robots now. I dont have a problem with it, just lately they've been doing robots I dont care about. Im still waiting for Dangard Ace. I know Yamato did one, but i never picked it up so I wish Dangard would get the SOC treatment.

[nikoniko]

I collect these, but focus mostly on the classic 70's - 80's super robots, with an occassional newer robot. I'm not a fan of the recent SOC releases (Super Robot Wars, and the various Getter, Mazinger etc OVA remakes et al). My list:

- Getter Dragon
- Getter Poseidon
- Getter Liger
- Grendizer (full Speizer set)
- Great Mazinger
- Venus A
- Gaiking
- Reideen DX
- God Mars
- Ideon
- Mecha Godzilla 75
- Gunbuster

Got a bunch of these on a trip to Hong Kong, and still looking to get Voltes V, Combattler and a Mazinger Z. and am still waiting forthem to make a God Sigma.

You should also check out Mazinger from a company called Fewture. They are pretty awesome, but very pricey.

Jeez, this chogokin posting area is getting no love. I think Chogokins, and godaikins are awesome figures to collect.

lol. Oh no sorry man....my bad its just that the first 3 threads I've made has had someone insult me and tell me the topic already exists. I'm Edgy!!!
:cuss;) Anyways man I'm browsing through that thread checking everything out. Thanks for the heads up.

I hear what your saying buddy. They are very strict with posting new threads here when you are what they term as a "newb". Don't worry, probably after 1000 posts, they'll start letting you post more freely. They are very touchy about new members, and often haze them even if you are honestly trying to post something that no one else really specifically addressed yet.

For whatever reason why they like to haze newbs, i really don't know. Maybe they didn't get the love and attention they deserved as a kid or they were bullied when they were younger, and now they want to take out their anger on you. You basically have to do a search, and make sure nobody else posted something similiar to your topic. If it is different enough, you should be able to post.

[karamazov80]

Sorry if anyone dislikes attempts to keep the board in check by minimizing excessive threads, but it hardly does good for there to be 10 threads on a topic when one will suffice. It keeps the conversations together, makes searching and researching easier, and makes the forum less cluttered. From my perspective, elder forum members won't get preferential treatment in this regard.

As for "noob hazing," I guess you are going to get that here until you understand the forum guidelines and norms. But once you catch on to the way things are done, you should be fine.

I actually only collect the few SOCs that i grew up watching as a kid. The Getters are my favorite. Those 3 combos cant be beat really. As for you wanting God Sigma, hes the next big guy to get the SOC treatment. If you go to collection dx they have a few photos over there. I cant post photos here at work. God Sigma looks crazy awesome, he'll look good standing next to God Mars. Im guessing he'll top out at about $300 for sure.

As for Chogos not getting the love, well think about it most people dont even know they make them and considering if you didnt grow up watching them as a kid you really have no connection to them at all. I mean someone whos not into the old robots they see a little 7 inch to say 15 inches in some case and ranging anywhere from $60 to $350 and even higher depending on the company. Most people arent willing to spend that kind of money on a toy even though hes a representation that in a sense even isnt popular anymore. Same reason why you dont see much on Dairugger (vehicle voltron) and Dangard Ace. I think robots/mecha are a very niche market and most people dont get it.
I mean even look at your anime clubs and such, if you even mention mecha most people are turned off by the robot shows.

I personally don't know how similar or different the subject of this thread is from the one linked by Kuzeh, but let me know if it warrants a thread merge.

I totally here what you're saying and I agree. It doesn't make sense to re-post things that people have already causually mentioned. But members like "mr.thrifty" have 3 threads all related to the Wolf Predator Bust under the Aliens and Robots section, and nobody stopped him from starting those redundant threads 3 times.

When I started that predator thread "Poll" of the contraversy of Berserker, I realize that it may have been casually mentioned many times in the main Berserker thread, but no Poll was conducted as to the true number of how many people actually felt he was worth buying vs those who didn't. The reason why I like polls so much is because you get a consensus "measurement" of what's going on. It's a good way to quantify people's opinions, and form rational arguements based on the poll data. Yeah I could have dug through thousands of posts in the main berserker thread, and individually counted who felt the berserker was worth buying and who didn't, but that's not really realistic right?

Let me give you an example of what I mean. Let's say I never conducted a poll of which pred was more desirable between hot toys berserker vs falconer. Then some member named joeblow posts a blanket statement on the main Falconer thread like-"Falconer pred is the best. Everybody likes falconer pred over Berserker!."

Now without conducting a poll, (because according to some senior members out there, it would be too redundant) I would only have two options:

Option 1- dig through hundreds of posts on that main Falconer thread and dig through hundreds of posts in the main berserker thread and count how many people were in favor of falconer vs berserker (which is teadious and thus, nobody would really realistically do)

Option 2: just trust what joeblow posted.

But after my poll on Falconer vs Berserker, I have evidence that most members prefer Berserker over falconer. So now I can refute that argument and say, Falconer is not the most preferred pred, because the poll data indicates otherwise. Argument closed.

I know you may still disagree with what I'm saying. But don't you think it's at least interesting to see the numbers behind the various opinions presented on some of these threads? I am, but hey, it's just me.

I'm getting into my long rants again, but just a final thought to some of the senior members out there with a short fuse or little patience for newbs:
If some of the new members accidently re-post something that was already mentioned in a prior thread, please don't be so harsh with them as you guys were to me. They are still learning. Just nicely or politely let them know that their thread has already been addressed and re-direct them to the related link. No need to be rude to them, put them down and then close their thread without any warning. Most of us "newbs" didn't come here to deliberately annoy you guys and piss you off. Most of us just want to share our opinions and be a part of the various cool discussions on this site, and be a part of the Sideshowfreaks team. Just my 2 cents.

"Can't we all just get along?" :1-1:

[karamazov80]

I closed the Berserker poll, and am sorry if that bothered you. However, I think the majority of board members (and, most notably, the board admin) would see that poll as unnecessary given that there was an entire thread dedicated to the figure, where most posts dealt with opinions and thoughts one way or the other. I can understand that you would like to get a count of pro and against votes, but in my view, that just does not warrant its own thread--particularly since that thread was just degrading into name-calling and smileys, and was ultimately not going to give you a clear indication of how members actually felt. Better to go to the general Berserker thread and ask specific questions about the factors that matter to you in terms of buying that figure.

He probably never came back because he was intimidated by some of the senior members who hazed him for accidentally posting a similiar thread.

No worries. I see where you're coming from even if I respectfully disagree, But please tell the other senior and more impatient members that some of the newbs out there maybe more sensitive and may not have the thick skin to take the hazing. I don't care if the senior guys on this board haze me all day long , but for the sake of the newbs that sincerely want to post their opinions and contribute, and may not be as well informed- just show them a little more respect and "guide" them if they make a mistake. No need to bash them, make rude comments and then close them out when they don't know better.

Point taken. This board would not benefit from new members being run off in droves because they feel intimidated by others.

However, like I said before, if new members are willing to learn and modify their behavior to fit in with board guidelines and norms, that stuff will eventually pass. The bulk of the established members here aren't complete jerks, and I hope folks can stay around long enough to discover that.

Have you heard of the "Godaikin" line of robots? I think they are the ones that started the whole robot craze here in the U.S. They came out in 1981/82. These are like the holy grail when it comes to diecast metal robots. I think they were the first to transform and combine to form a bigger robot. They came out before the transformers. The original 11 that came out of the Godaikin line were: Tetsujin, Voltes V, GodSigma, Goggle V, Sun Vulcan, GoLion(Voltron),Daltanius,GodMarz,Godsigma, Garbin(Guardian), and combattra. I fell in love with these robots as a kid but my parents could not afford them. Back in the 80s, those Godaikin robots were expensive, and they still are today. Look to spend anywhere from $300-$3000 for each of the original 11.

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I know about the Godaikin line and I had Voltron and as stated in a few posts above Daltanious, I also had Dairugger aka Vehicle Voltron. There grails if you collect the big bricks that they are.There pretty cool toys to have, but I just dont care for much of the vintage stuff. I do have my Voltron (lions) and the toynami masterpiece set as well. Like I said i kinda prefer alot of the new reboots of these robots now with more articulation and such.
As for diecast content the robots are getting to expensive for there size and just not worth it. I'll still buy my favorite characters and all, but some of the prices are just crazy.

Yeah there are some crazy priced robots in the soul of chogokin line but in some cases I can see why. The engineering behind these transformable toys is pretty amazing, plus they are not made with cheap plastics, they are made with diecast metal which will bump the prices up. But in general you're right, prices are pretty steep. But it seems like prices are going up for almost everything you collect. Case in point-Hot Toys. Some of their newer figures are avg close to $200, with no diecast metal or the ability to transform!

Good luck trying to buy those Jumbo Machinders now man, there expensive as hell and not always in good shape.

figure i post this here, this is whats next for fewture:

:rock2:rock2

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah that black getter is amazing looking. I dont have any of the Fewture Getters because I dont want to drop the cash on them, but I gotta say ive been eyeing the black getter. Even the new Shin Getter that released recently looks really freaking nice.

[Ish]

nice is not the word, that thing is ridiculous!!

this black one is a big deal because the first one was so limited.

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah buts its also a big deal because its the Black Getter which you dont see alot of not to mention the sculptor passed away a couple of years ago.

[edstuff]

I heard about the sculptor passing away. So is this based off of his sculpt? Is it basically a remake of the original black getter that he sculpted. Wish I could remember his name. That would be awesome if it was tho. I've always wanted that figure. Big and heavy.

[ArmoredFoe]

Taku Sato "Professor Robo" Heres an article from way back when the news broke from Matt Alts blog.

gorgeous piece.

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah that Shin Getter is freaking amazing

[Kuzeh]

Finally,
I just got the Mazinkaiser SKL BD,:rock!
I hope it's good!! It was a blind buy... :lol!

Still can't score the figure for a decent price though... :(

[ArmoredFoe]

I watched the first episode on youtube a while back. Seemed pretty cool and I wish they would do some of those bad guy robots. Some pretty cool re-designs on Garada and Doublas as well as the main bad guy.

Yeah id like to get a maz Skl as well, but like you I cant deal with those crazy prices.

[Kuzeh]

Hey there Foe!:wave!

Well, I watched it last night,
and honestly, it's badass!!
I was pleasantly surprised by it...
I didn't want to watch them online, and I'm glad I waited for the BD...

The story is completely something else and it has pretty much nothing to do with either Mazinger or Mazinkaiser, but I liked it a lot!
The Mechas are pretty awesome and it kind of works as a futuristic vision of Mazinger and Aflodai/Venus designs adopted for Mecha armies... Also the nod to Devil Lady is pretty awesome!
Very cool stuff!

Apparently there's a Manga along with the series, and Mazinger appears there... curious to know if it's available in English...

[ArmoredFoe]

Hey Kuzeh, yeah Id like to know if this was going to be release here in the states. Where did you get the BD from. Id like to own that as well or even a dvd copy. I watched the first episode online because I didnt know where else to go really.

Yeah the robots are great in this anime.

[edstuff]

Some of my favorite figures are my Bandai Soul of Chogokin figures. You can probably still find some of them on eBay. They're only about 6" tall but really nice quality and a lot of steel parts. I've got Mazinger, Mazinger OVA, Doublas, Garada, and Boss Borot. Lots of little extras with them.

Yep, I have a lot of the early SOCs and a few of the newer Super Robot chogos. I have to say some of my favorite figures are also my SOCs.

[jye4ever]

i grew up watching Raideen as a kid (yes, i'm not young :lol)

No one, I mean no one, not one person ever heard of him in my circle of life. :lol

Raideen kicked *** as a show and as a giant robot toy in the 70's when I owned him :horror

I have to get the dvd one day.

:hi5:

I was very young at the time, that show was so advanced for the american audience.

Anime girls underwear in a cartoon in the US in the 70's :lol

Oh well, that was the decade that didn't mind. :lol

Raideen and his pilot were a bad *** team.

The opening and closing soundtrack is a classic, I can sing it. :lol

[ArmoredFoe]

I know Raideen, depending on where you were from, I also seen it as Raydeen. Yeah I grew up watching Getter Robo G which was basically Starvengers in the US. As a kid it was all part of Force Five which also showed Gaiking and Grendizer and Dangard Ace. Those cartoons shaped my childhood man. Sorry to spam it up with videos but its just to awesome to not post these intros.

Man, some of these Super-Robot DVD prices are through the roof!!
I really hope they re-release them soon...

BTW, I just wanted to show-off my new avi and sig!
:lol!

[ArmoredFoe]

Nice sig Kuzeh, yeah I usually pick up the old classic super robot cartoons at cons...not saying its right, but every now and then you can find bootlegs for a good price as well... :monkey3

[Kuzeh]

'sup Foe! :wave
I can find most of them @ Frank n' Son here in Cali,
that's how I got Great Mazinger...
The original Japanese DVD's are reaching $500.00 prices!! :horror!

In other news, I just scored this:

:rock!

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah thats crazy...$500. I mean I know there classics but I couldnt pay that. I paid $40 for my 6 disc set of Getter Robo G (Starvengers).
Im looking to get Dangard Ace, and Gaiking.

When I visited Korea I was looking for Tae Kwon V which was basically Koreas version of Mazinger on dvd, but only found 1 copy and of course it wasnt region free. Everyone I talk to has no clue about Tae Kwon V. Its pretty hard to come by, one day I'll find him.

* Great score, thats an awesome figure set of Maz.

[Kuzeh]

Nice!!
I've never seen the Tae Kwon V on DVD ever!

I do however own this amazing print done by Korean artist Tae Young Choi

http://cghub.com/files/Image/028001-029000/28416/819_large.jpg

Got it @ SDCC a couple of years ago...
It's funny 'cus Koreans say Mazinger is based on it,...

[edstuff]

http://i41.tinypic.com/bhagxk.jpg

One of my grails. Fewture getter 1. I'm so happy and I can't wait to get it. He's sitting right now in my pile of loot at bbts. My first fewture but not my first shogun warrior style figure. I grew up with Mazinger and Grendizer. I watched Transor Z and Mazinger even tho I don't understand spanish.

wow...sir that is amazing. Yeah I read that it had something to do with the fact that Japan and Korea had some tension between each other. So in the cartoon world when Maz was making it big, they wanted to out do Maz so they made Tae Kwon to counter program it so to speak. I remember seeing a few pieces of art where Tae Kwon pretty much destroyed Maz and maz is all busted and broken at TK's feet. Cool art.

As for the Fewture figures, I had Aflodai and Mazinger, but sold them long ago,
as cool as they are, I prefer the simpler design of the originals...
the only exception is Mazinkaiser! :D

thanks man i think i got it on e-bay when it was cheap haha i cant believe the asking price for that piece nowadays. i had a chance to get the three pack but like a loser i passed on it.

[Kuzeh]

I remember about Garada being "affordable" too...
It's insane how much it's fetching now!!!
I passed on it so many times!!
:gah:!!

:lol!!

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I had the fewture Garada and right out of the box his foot broke and I ended up selling him for $75. He looked awesome but just didnt live up to my hype I guess. Some great photos popping up.

[edstuff]

I too passed on the garada like an idiot. It's insane what the price of it is now.

[wavestuff]

Yeah I had the fewture Garada and right out of the box his foot broke and I ended up selling him for $75. He looked awesome but just didnt live up to my hype I guess. Some great photos popping up.

haha the reason i dont open most of my figs is because i have this paranoia that they will fall apart when i open them. thats my biggest fear with the APU Matrix figs cause those were notable for falling appart at the waist. To an extent i feel i have acid hands because a lot of the figs i end up opening break on me like the kowloon soul army figs or the shinki ones or the hot toys ones.

Dude I'm exactly the same way. I've got a bunch of mcfarlane's halo figs and I want to open them but I'm scared I'll kill them.

[ArmoredFoe]

I open most of my figures unless there really small or something that I like but not enough to have them out on display. In those cases prefer them to look nicely in there boxes or packages. That Garada figure, while he looked awesome, had some bad engineering from what Ive read around. No loss.

[Kuzeh]

This just arrived!
I know some people aren't crazy about "cute" or "super-deformed",
but I dig some of them... besides,
there's very FEW Koji Kabuto figures out there...

[wavestuff]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[ArmoredFoe]

Yep...never heard anything from it after that trailer release. I just dont think theres a big enough market for people to even remember Gaiking.

[wavestuff]

that shouldnt be an excuse to not make a movie, otherwise we would never get gems like akira. sadly i do understand your point and movie executives function exactly like that.

[ArmoredFoe]

Well I dont think it should be an excuse either, but given the fact that someone has to spend lots of money to produce it and if no one sees it besides the few core audience who know who Gaiking is there not going to make money and could put them in financial trouble for future projects. It might do well in Japan, but in the US, theres probably only a handful of people who know the old Super Robots even exist. I look at the US as more of a Transformers type of robot fan. Just my opinion.

[edstuff]

Damn that makes me want Fewture to make a Gaiking even more now.

[Kuzeh]

Holy ____!!

I wish the wings were like that on the GX-49.

Really hope the SOC line isn't dead, i mean in 08/09 they did 17 releases including epic stuff like Big O, Dygengaur & Assuenseiter and Reideen!

Last year they had 3 releases.

Where the hell are SOC versions of Shin Getter, Getter Arc and Mazinkaiser!

[edstuff]

I would love an soc shin getter and I truly hope this line does not die. The quality of these figures is damn near unmatched, especially if you can get them for like 65 bucks. I think the most I've ever paid for a mazinger figure was ova and he cost me 85-90 shipped.

SOCs not dead. Bandai is using the SOC line for their bigger robots and transforming bots. That is the whole reason they started SRC, because there non transforming "action figures" at an affordable price of peoples favorite robots. Strictly for the smaller bots. Im still wondering why we havent seen any Getters in the SRC line yet.

GX-61 Daiohja should be hitting soon in Japan

No BigBang Punch Mode then?

[ArmoredFoe]

No BigBang Punch Mode then?

No transforming for the SRC's Im afraid. If you want that then you gotta buy the SOC version.

Kuzeh...dude if they did that Garada and Doublas, Id be all over them.

[edstuff]

I would totally buy that Garadoublas and I don't even know where that came from. What show brought them together? Man this thread's pics are renewing my love of all chogokin. That's not good for my wallet.

[ArmoredFoe]

Garadoublas is Shin Mazinger, the redesigns. Pretty much character got a redesign in Shin Maz.

[bmajede]

idk if it's worth getting if i own a GX-45 Mazinger Z.
and it's the only one i have so far.

[smitty]

So what are the odds of Gaiking and Grendizer getting the SRC treatment?

[Kuzeh]

No BigBang Punch Mode then?

Seems like not...

I wish they did some other characters too,
I was looking into getting the Zeus figure, but the price is just ridiculous!

Well, it's a different scale but very cool if you're a Mazinger fan!
I'll know I get one!

So what are the odds of Gaiking and Grendizer getting the SRC treatment?

I'd say pretty good for both,
but they might release the robots only first, and maybe they release Spacer, TFO and Kargosaur as separate pieces...

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah if they did a grendizer Id be happy considering I missed the first SOC grendizer and the release with the Spacer. As for Gaking, I really want another space dragon. Id be all over those guys, but like I said before, Im still hoping for the Getter team.

[bmajede]

@Kuzeh
off topic....
I use to watch mazinger Z when i was a kid.
Grendizer and mazinger is so much popular here in the middle east or in my country saudi arabia.

grendizer:

hope you like it lol:lol:lol

I got mazinger gx-45 last year and i just can't find my grendizer.
I wish bandai make another one because this grendizer gx-04s is so much expensive ):

I want to start a good collection. and what i want is:
Great Mazinger, Mazinkaiser, finally Grendizer.
i really appreciate if someone helped me to find the best ones. because there's tons of them right now or do i just have to waite?

thanks in advance (:

Pretty damn cool but it's Great Mazinger not Mazinger Z :)

@Kuzeh
off topic....
I use to watch mazinger Z when i was a kid.
Grendizer and mazinger is so much popular here in the middle east or in my country saudi arabia.

I got mazinger gx-45 last year and i just can't find my grendizer.
I wish bandai make another one because this grendizer gx-04s is so much expensive ):

I want to start a good collection. and what i want is:
Great Mazinger, Mazinkaiser, finally Grendizer.
i really appreciate if someone helped me to find the best ones. because there's tons of them right now or do i just have to waite?

thanks in advance (:

Hey there!
My suggestion, get the Bandai SOC ones,
they are top quality and are loaded with accessories, so basically,
get Mazinger Z renewal version GX-01R

I've been debating about getting some of these sets... are they pre-painted?

I currently have these SOCs in my collection. Will the new SRC Shin Mazinger Z be in-scale?

[Centurion]

:lecture That SOC Mazinger Z is awesome.

I remember having the vinyl version when I was a little boy. I think it was 1978 (?). I wish I had that one today ($$$).

All I've got left is God Marz from Bandai's Godaikin line, but that was from 1986-7. Should have asked for Tetsujin 28 instead. :(

To this day that Godaikin God Marz is freaking awesome looking. Really stands the test of time as far as its design goes. Just a big brick of goodness :D

No he wont be, the SRC line is a few inches smaller than the SOC line.
