Soul of Chogokin Appreciation Thread

Paladin · 07-02-2012, 09:10 PM

Over the last few years I've been mostly disappointed by the DX Zord releases for Super Sentai. SO I've been looking at Bandai's high-end collector line for new collection possibilities.

I know this is a much more expensive rabbit-hole than anything I've ventured into before, so can anyone advise on SOC releases??

Well, it really depends on what you like, every SOC offers something different, combiners, giant robots, transforming types.

Some of the highly sought after ones are: Gunbuster, GodMars, Daltanious.

The word Chogokin means Super alloy, or diecast, this line is all about diecast, while the amount of it might vary, it's always present in some form.

Unless you just hit Powerball Lotto, forget God Mars. I've never, NEVER, seen it for less than 400-500 bucks. And thats retail. eBay is.. it'll make your wallet run and hide under the bed in fear.

The thought of collecting SOCs is enough to make my wallet hide under the bed in fear

I think you've confused SOC and SRC. SRC is the one with Sentai mecha...
