The third toy in the Soul of Chogokin line has final arrived.
Combattler come in the now standard SOC box. There is no lift off lid
or handles as in the original DX (Godaikin) version. The toy itself
is very clean and is very well modeled. All five vehicles are quite
convincing and require almost no removal of extraneous pieces when
being formed into Combattler. The battle tank has a nice set of
treads. The battle marine even comes with an attachment for carrying
the battle tank. However none of the vehicles shoots any missiles or
any projectiles. Also be careful with the battletank shovels. They
seem fairly sturdy but require a bit of pulling to come out of their
folded mode.
In robot form Combattler looks great. His proportions are much better
than that of the DX toy and he is actually quite poseable. However he
is only 9.5" inches tall. I'd heard many rumors before the
release that he was to be over 12" tall, like the Godaikin toy.
The toy come with an extra set of fists, and some nice weapons. It
also comes with a display stand. It'd be great if they released SOC
bases to hold our toys in!
I suppose it was unavoidable that the SOC Combattra would be compared
to the DX (Godaikin) toy. The SOC Combattler-V is an amazing toy and
a must have for any collector, but it is now apparent that the DX
(Godaikin) toys will probably never be surpassed in their complexity
and sheer massiveness. Go Get one! |
