The chogokin or gokin (metal) toys thread

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Im in the same boat as you. Never watched anything to fo with GGG but love the design.
Looking forward to it. Oh and I refuse to watch that link. Don't want to be spoiled haha.

lol. If I was gonna buy it, I'd hold off watching too. Saw one in the shops when I was cruising around the other day. Looks very nice in person too!

FInally got a chance to see these beauties. (please ignore the Yamato, it was just in the same room and there for size comparison)

Hello Kitty I bought because.... um... I was drunk? It's a weird crossover? I like Hello Kitty robots? I dunno. It' to celebrate 40 years of Hello Kitty AND Chogokin, so what's not to like? Daltanious I bought because it's just an awesome looking robot with a slight link to Voltron.


Daltanious has a frikking HUUUUUGE box! Had trouble getting it back Kansai on the plain. Only just managed to fit in the Hand luggage..... Too big for my suitcase.

Glad to have him, accessories out the whazoo and chunky as buggery. I managed to spy him on the X-ray as he went through the airport and it was pretty awesome to see all the metals hilighted hur hur hur (Man I am a nerd.)

Can't wait to spend some quality time with him. Ratchet there for scale.

I considered Daltanious for sometime as I am buying the King Of Beast I thought this would come in side to side.

I have the Original Godaikin Daltanious.

My list of SOC Bandai should be looking:
Voltron (Golion) > we know Toyami had probably made an exclusive deal with wep
Red Baron > Is due for a SOC version
Giant Gorg > Would like Bandai to challenge Sentinal version which is pricy
Goshogan > I am expecting this! because they have been coming out Trident and all the old robots.
Gurren Lagann > Shouldnt be hard since SRC is available

Well...just wait and see I guess.

That Hello Kitty Chogokin is really cute! Was it expensive? What is the die cast ratio?

Dont really know anything about Daltanious but it looks neat. Nice haul!

Goshogan > I am expecting this! because they have been coming out Trident and all the old robots.

Just the other day i was reading a review of something and there was this comparison pic with a robot i loved the design of but didnt recognize... You saying Trident (Trider?) made me think i might like the design of this Goshogan too, which i'd never heard of either. Googled that shit and lo and behold it's the robot i couldn't identify!

Now i want one but i think the one i saw was a CM's Corp $400+ figure? No good will wait for SoC or SRC lol

Yeah I may have mis spelt their names, but Goshogan would be a SOC candidate I think. There may be a few other old Takatoku toy robots that may be done SOC but its all with Bandai decision and god knows what they decide.

[VGMStudios]

Its Goshogun. Not gan.
looks interesting. There is a jumbo version of this guy as well.
Kurdt you're right he does look neat.

thing that sucks bbts had him for $99. Lol

Going merry one piece chogokin reissue is available for any one piece fans.
It's very heavy apparently .

[VGMStudios]

Was going threw my boxes of figures when I came across my GFG.
So I did this for those who love GFG.

Thought it was a cool picture to make!



close up


I forgot just how flimsy GFG really is. GGG is worlds apart in comparison.
Then again its not really fair to compare such an old toy with todays tech.

[drifand]

GFG is CM corp?

[VGMStudios]

Yup!
