sanmai Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 (edited) I remember a few years ago at San Diego comic con I've seen a dealer thare carring a die-cast mazinger(or was it Grendizer?) toy with with a matching station/base thing that had like a elevator thing built in where you place the mazinger on top of it and it would lower it inside. (Does that make any sense?) it even had the ufo(?) unit if I remember correctly... I remember getting quoted like $200 or $300 or something... Does anyone have more info on this thing? thanks.

Beware of Blast Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I don't have the links with me, but I'm very sure the toys you mentioned are all Bandai Soul of Chogokin products. Do a google search and you get your answers I'm sure. Quote
Sebastian Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Yes is from the Bandai SOC line. The UFO is from Grendizer and the SECRET Base is for the Mazinger. It is in fact more like a display stand/elevator where you can put you mazinger / grendizer inside. Quote
Sebastian Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5&category=4694 This auction is for the Grendizer. Did not found the display base. Quote

soze Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Bandai Soul of Chogokin line: 1. Mazinger = GX-01 or GX-01R 2. Great Mazinger = GX-02 or GX-02R 3. Grendizer = GX-04 or GX-04S 4. Mazinger Base = GX-01X I'm a big SOC fan. Quote
sanmai Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 (edited) Thanks everyone. I've been poking around internet and have yet to come across the base... hard to find item? discontinued maybe? Edited October 29, 2003 by sanmai Quote
Beware of Blast Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Ya, the base is kinda rare now. IIRC, back in the day, everyone grabbed multiples of the first run and it was never reissued. I should know, I'm looking for one myself! Quote
GobotFool Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 well isn't bandai re-issueing several SOC's? Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 yes, they are reissuing most if not all the SOC's. There's a thread in here about it and has a link to the news about it as well. To lazy to go search for it. Sorry! Quote
drifand Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 The base can also be used for the latest SOC Evangelions. You just have to remove the radar dish and scrander ramp for a cleaner appearance. When it was first sold, I really found the base overpriced. I only bought one when it got down to clearance sales... As for the SOC reissues, they're great for the new collector. The only thing I don't like are the REVISED toys. I'd rather get a GX-07 manga-version than another GX-01, R or no R. Quote
