unboxing SOC GX-47T Energer Test Type (Magazine Exclusive)

Managed to get this via my local toyshop today. Love the new smell of metal.

超合金 Soul Of Chogokin GX-47T (Prototype version) requires mail-in coupon from the book "Soul of Chokogin Project (超合金魂計画)" vol. 4.


In Go Nagai original concepts, the titular robot was Energer Z, which was controlled by a motorcycle that was driven up its back and into its head. However, with the sudden popularity of Kamen Rider, Nagai replaced the motorcycle with a hovercraft. He later redesigned Energer Z, renaming it Mazinger Z to evoke the image of a demon god
Less words now, here's the photos of unboxing it...








Here's youtube video for Shin Mazinger Anime Opening
A lot of collectors might feel that it's a bit ridiculous to to buy this piece cos' of the price and limited accessories, but i feel that's a bit under rated. It's a realization from a concept art of the original creator so it's really that simple and basic...sometimes basic is good. Anyway, this piece will add pretty well in my SOC Energer line.

that is right Armand, the heads is funny but unique among all series. But this the only soul of chogokin series that has different head, the rest has normal style of head. I will include this at my collection just like my getter robot Chogokin where i purchase at PIJ. I will also check this at the same store.
