SRW Black Stranger



Studio Half Eye: Black Stranger of SRW Z - ª±¨ã¤é³ø°Q½×°Ï - Toysdaily ª±¨ã¤é³ø

 

I havent played much of SRW Z but I do know that Gun Leon is very brave like. Giant spanner of doom!!!

 

Got my first SOC today. The GX-45 Mazinger Z. I think I'm hooked.

 

Congrats, your wallet is officially violated  

 

Gaaaaah, I want it...but not if it means I have to fork over 500 dollars for a figure that'll probably end up looking medicore*Sigh*

After watching Collection DX's review of the thing...I wanna get my hands on the Shin Mazinger SOC now

 

hi everyone, i'm new to this thread. i have a small collection of chogokins and gx-45 is my latest addition. also got gx-49 preordered. sucker for mazinger...

 

Welcome.  

 

Finally some painted photos of the EZhobi Hyper Gokin Iron Man:
Ezhobi Toys ?? Hyper Gokin (???) Iron Man Mark 3[+2] - ?????Toys Collection - ???????Toy World Forum - Powered by Discuz!

Paint doesn't look as clean as the Hot Toys version (go figure, Hot Toys has sold their collective souls to the devil, I think), but I like the darker crimson. Plus it's an actual-metal Iron Man!

 

Looks awesome, I don't see a price for it anywhere tho, I suspect, £lots.

 

Thanks for the pics QJ! I like how it looks painted, but you're right that it's not as crisp as Hot Toys. Hopefully the final production pieces will be better. I can't wait for the inevitable MKII version of this.

 

that's a given...

looks awesome though...me wants!  

 

*head explode looking at the Ironman figure*

Allright time for a massive update from Wonder Fest.

 

I came 2 buckets.

Oh did I see mini Spike ?

If so, I came the third time.

 

Has anyone else checked out Bandai's "The Chogokin" line from several years ago (2003ish I think)? Tiny 3" diecast super robots. I think they're reissues of old Popy toys but I'm not informed enough to be certain. I always see them kicking around various places on the intarweb but I never checked them out until now.

I snagged a GT-06 Raideen for super cheap and he just arrived today. My overall opinion is TINY GOD. I love this thing. It's mostly metal so even though it's the size of a Microman it's very hefty. Articulation is minimal (shoulders, hips, knees) but still enough to be fun. He even has tiny little spring-loaded rocket punch fists that seem to shoot further than any Transformers launcher I have. And on top of that he can fully transform to God Bird mode without any parts-swapping. And has moving die-cast landing gear. Before he arrived I was worried that he might be fragile or fidgity but the thing is a micro-tank. The only thing I'll worry about is accidentally launching a fist into oblivion. But even that's not a huge worry because he comes with extras!  

I was going to pick up the SOC toy but this little chunk of concentrated awesome might just be good enough for me. Probably the best $15 I've ever spent on a robot toy.

I'm very curious about the rest of the line now. Anyone have them?

 

I have Raideen as well as Getter 1 and Combattler from that line. They're all pretty cool little die cast chunks of coolness, definitely recommend them if anyone can find them on the cheap. The Combattler even does Granddasher.

 

Oh hell yeah, I'm going to have to track down one of those.

I don't know why this tiny scale is so appealing to me all of a sudden. Weird how you can ignore something for years and then suddenly it just clicks.

They didn't make a Tetsujin in this line, did they?

 

Classic version

and

80's version

 

Sorry, I mean in the 3" "the Chogokin" line that I was talking about. I've got the SOC versions.
