drifand Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 For those who love 80's style real robots, the SOC Xabungle is a throbbing headache instead of a no-brainer purchase. Fiddly parts, loose attachments... the SIZE. But I bought one anyway, because after so many years, my HCM Walker Galliar was ronery, so ronery. Here's my review on Toybox DX's Rumblizer. Group shot!

BoBe-Patt Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 whoa!! that looks pretty cool! Well all four of those bots together look cool. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 hehe Old School does have it's charm doesn't it? Pretty cool man. Quote
Guppy Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 great review!! SOC's are one thing I buy without waiting for reviews, but I was seriously concerned about the Xabungle. For the small price I was thinking it would be tiny. Of course I preordered it anyway. Waiting for it to arrive as we speak.. I think the included snap kit is pretty generous of them. What's the size comparison to the SOC Mazingers? Quote

What's the size comparison to the SOC Mazingers? 335865[/snapback] Thanks Gup, From another post on TBDX, here's a pic showing the Xaby next to the 1/144 Kado Senshi RX-78 as well as the recent SOC Zambo Ace: http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1830/xa...mparison0md.png Still some debate over the relative 'looseness' of the shoulder weapons. Some owners say that theirs snap on perfectly. Mine - even when pressed hard and flush with the shoulders - will pop off if you just nudge it, especially the left-side. So I'm resigned to putting only the 3-tube 'zooka on the Xaby and letting the 'Brock handle the 9-tube pod. Good compromise for a bad situation. Quote
Guppy Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Cool, thnx for the link. Well I own a MPC Alpha so I'm prepared to mentally cope with any looseness issues! Are the shoulder weapon problems due to teh cannon being too heavy, or the hole too big or too shallow? Just wondering if I can fix it with a bit of crazy glue around the hole (or peg) to give it some thickness to stay there better. Damn, now I have to go het a HCM Walker Gallier after seeing your cool group shot! Quote
mpchi Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Drifand, great pics & review. Surprised it matches so well with the HCM Galliar. Fortunately, I am not a big fan of Xabungle, and your review helped me to make up my mind not getting this one. I don't mind the figure small, as long as its well made & very sturdy. But if its fiddly like you mentioned, and a bunch of part swapping, its definitely a big no no for me. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Nice, I had the 80`s ver. but I was thinking with all these SOC`s I think Bandai should also make SOC Go Lion/Voltron ! Quote
Guppy Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 The day Bandai announce a Dairugger SOC is the day I will have a small coronary of joy. Quote
