hmm....I am not sure you gotten the Godaikin DX version which is definitely way bigger than this SOC version. You might have gotten the ST version which is shorter? There is also a hybrid version in between.
The godaikin version stands pretty tall. I do not have the piece with me as is back at my dad's home.
I think you can score below $380 for this. Saw them for 22,000 yen.
below are pics of the hybrid "custom" and the actual godaikin box

Give and take, there may be a scratch or two sometimes.
Well the soc has better way of not loosing the hands I think. Looks better than now. Of course the older version is worth more.

A bit nuts, cool but a bit tired of buying Mazinger for me. Will be no less than 20,000 yen for sure.
