if no, what is SOC? | No, SOC is Soul of Chogokin, which I think means "Soul of Diecast" or something. They don't have Revoltech joints, but are still pretty poseable and detailed

if no, what is SOC? | SoC has been going a lot longer. Bigger scale (the average are twice the size of Revoltechs) they tend to have a good amount of metal in them, even more accessories, display stands and stuff like that.
You pay a pretty penny for them of course, but they are amazing display pieces and look incredible. Quote: |

The design, engineerting, extra and decent articulation are a winning combo? By the way Viper, did you get your SOCs during your Japan trip?
If you have enough cash, I suggest Dancougar, Ideon or Gunbuster...really amazing toys! | |

Yap its probably the best toyline today. If Transformers were SOC then holy cow I mean the possibilities are endless plus with SOC you get to have spare hands and accessories. Highly recommended! Quote:

All I know is that I had to tell ya to check out the other cool stuff since you were in Tokyo...never been there personally but my friends who did went really crazy...in terms of toys of course! XD | |

I ordered one through Previews with my local comic shop so I've still got mooooooonths to wait for it. I hope to God they actually come through on him because he's sold out everywhere I've looked and I really would like to have my own Tranzor Z. I loved the robot design as a kid and I still do. That's about all I know of Soul of Chogokin, Mazinger or otherwise. Tell me, is Great Mazinger just an upgraded, later version of the robot? He looks very nice too.  | |
