thankfully it is not an articulated figure. if not, there goes a thousand bucks off my pocket.

how can you pass on this... the icy cold feel of raw metal!!

Hi guys,
I'm new here in this forum...have a couple of questions to ask.
Is the Daigokin Grest Mazinger available in HK now?
Anyone here thinking of letting go of their Daigokins? I'm looking for the normal clor version (either Lite blue or dark blue)...willing to pay SG$800+
Do drop me a PM...

Let you guys, I'm a big fan of gokins...

Ciao

hmmm, it's going to be a tough find in singapore.

1) Not many people bought it
2) Those who bought it aren't very keen on selling cos they're bloody hardcore...

Currently I've the black and Toys'R'Us version...hoping to get the normal color. Unfortunately no one brings them in anymore...even the new ones like the "Gold" version.
Btw, guess the Great Mazinger should be out for sale in HK since there're peolpe selling them online. Will be there in two weeks time.
The Great Mazinger is a MUST HAVE...don't you think so? That's gonna be the ultimate gokin ever! 3.5KG

grendizer will be 4.5kg ma. haha...

but you've got some good stuff... both are the rarer versions.

Thanks man! Cost me a bomb for those two...

Looking forward to the Grendizer as well. Imagine have all the daigokins displayed in a roll with the rest of the SOCs. Super COOL man!

New year resolution...to own at least five of the Daigokins released so far. 3 to go...

Hey Kane, which version have you got?

got the light blue classic version mazinger. heh... and i'm clinging on to it... heh...

Guess that'll be the last thing you'll let go...

Mr Ng had one in his shop now but the conditions really really bad...looks like it had been ran over by a lorry. Tot of actually having it re-painted. That's gonna be a major operation...

It's really getting hard to find Daigokins nowadays...online prices are way to high at times or have been out-bidden.

Btw, this's a cool forum...very informative and poisonious as well.

heh, with all the pictures and reviews. think you need to keep it dry, otherwise it will start to develop 'bubbles'...

Truly, truly, at 3.5kg I say unto to you: this is the indisputable King of Gokin.

You need both hands to hold this. It is that heavy. It was a struggle just to get it out of the box.

The sheer size and weight of this Daigokin gives it a presence which has made every other chogokin I have in my possession look inconsequential....and small.

none of 1/48 valk, MPOP, Scopedog, Dancouga, PG Strike Gundam are tall enough to even reach the Daigokin's shoulder. Even the vintage Godaikin T28 is shorter. Even my biggest vinyl Godzilla is smaller. No other diecast robot is this heavy. As far as weight and size are concerned, it does not get any better than this.

Everytime I hold this, I still feel a high, with my hair standing on end.

The paintjob on mine is flawless and perfect, despite my fears about some reports that the paintjob on certain shipments were less than ideal. The gloss shows no scratches or defects.

There are some very sharp, metal edges on this thing.

Since the Daigokin Great Maz (3.5kg) is heavier than the Daigokin Maz (2.4kg) by a whopping 1 kg, lets hope the upcoming Daigokin Grendizer is 4.5kg !!!

finally, this cost my a good fraction of my salary

just to let you gauge the scale.

notice how small danny looks.

revisiting the Daigokin MAz pic for comparison, I would say the sculpt is improved for the Great Maz. It is 1kg heavier largely because the Great Maz is stouter and thicker than the Maz.

i see you've resurrected this thread...

yes, holding this thing up can make your hair stand on its ends and give you that certain rush... better than orgasm... haha...

i have to thank artspraken for influencing me though... really no regrets...

congrats guys... really nice

agreed. with stuff like this, it's really about how much you're willing to part for it.

I wish I could say the same that I'm not tempted....

Not familar with daigokins. Will they appreciate in value fast? cos I don't think I can get it within these few mths and afraid that it might be out of my range after that.

guess this would be one of the biggest toys ever, for chogokin that is

i think the size created a bit of trade-off with the painjob quality... and bigger and the trade-off with paintjob may be objectionable. as it is, i think some are probably familiar with the apparently reported QC problems in the first batch.

mine has no qc or paintjob problems, as u can see from the pic

Hey guys,

Newbie here (at least on this group). I also collect SOCs (started late Nov 2004) & ZOIDS.

Just want to share some pics too...wish I own these Daigokins, but they're not mine it's from a fellow collector back in the Philippines ID: KOJI.

Finally got mine this afternoon...Damn HEAVY man! Seems like Marmit had improved on the paint job this time round.

Still searching for the Normal version of the Diagokin Mazinger to complete my wishlist.

1) Toy'R'Us Version
2) Gold Version
3) Black Version
4) Great Mazinger Normal Version
5)

There're more new releases from SOC, Max Factory and Fewture in the next couple of months...$$$

there are TOTAL 6 edition to collect.. for the Mazinger
Normal,Normal with color varient, black, TrUs , silver , gold.

anyone have pic or link to see the normal w colour variant and TRUs version???




In the cartoon or comics which edition actually appear other then the normal edition??? Is there really a black, gold, silver etc.......... mazinger in cartoon or comics???

pardon my ignorance but this BIG piece really sent my head spinning........... is the New great mazinger limited in quantity???

Heard alot of Daigokin had paint prob and the thigh splits...pls chk for those who has it.

i like the fact that even the spokes at the ears is made of metal...

My Webpage

nice pose insomnia

Great Maz is not only bigger and heavier, but the paint job is also smoother and more glossy.

The second shipment of the Great Maz (with no paint problems) has made this item very very hot. first shipment got scratches at legs.

this piece is really becoming very hot. uncle ng has already sold out on all his 8 pieces. at nearly $1,000 a piece, i am surprised that the response is so hot.

3.5kg leh...this is the king of diecast.

looks like chogokin collectors are getting more wealthy... lol...

only super duper ultra hardcore collectors will go for the daigokins. looks like i do not quality such a level yet.

Think it's not die-cast...looking at the website <www.artstorm.com>, the pictures shows no screw holes as we all can see on the back of any Chogokin toy. Maybe I might be wrong...cos I don't read jap.
