Hello everyone! Welcome to another chogokin review by Professor Chogokin. today I am going to review Bandai's Super Robot Chogokin SRC Mightgaine~! Mightgaine is the lead robot from the Brave series anime "Brave Express Mightgaine" by Sunrise. Mightgaine is the 2nd lead robot in the brave series to be released under the Super Robot Chogokin line after King of Braves GaoGaiGar.
Mightgaine is a very well-made figure with great details and finishing. In terms of diecast content, there isn't much. Diecast is only present in the feet and the 2 black parts on the sides of the legs. Still, the figure packs a decent weight and is very well articulated.
Mightgaine comes with a fair amount of accessories, mainly swords; 1 silver sword, 2 gold swords that can combine into a twin sword, 1 gold sword with giant blade, 2 open fists, 2 fists for holding the swords and 1 finger pointing right fist.
Articulation for Mightgaine is fantastic. Both arms and legs are extremely posable, allowing you to recreate dynamic and awesomes poses limited only by your imagination.
As seen above, Mightgaine can easily hold his swords with both hands and bend his legs to extreme angles.
What used to be poses that you can only admire on anime, can now be recreated with ease with the wonderful articulation that Mightgaine has. Just look at the pose above. Mightgaine is posed beautifully and even the shoulder pads that usually hinder movement for most figures, do not pose any problems at all with Mightgaine.
The giant blade is a signature Mightgaine finishing move in the anime. Mightgaine usually leaps to the sky and comes charging down hard on the enemy, slicing it mercilessly into half.
As mentioned earlier, I can't help but be deeply impressed by the wonderful work done on giving Mightgaine great articulation that allows us to recreate all those extreme poses. Just posing them is like making my childhood dream of having well-articulated robot toys come true. Well, not 100% true yet because I would very much like them to be perfect transformation as well. I believe this is something that will become a reality in the near future, though the cost of making one might be an issue to sell it in mass market.
Apart from being a great figure, Mightgaine comes with a free trident stand that can hold up to 3 SRC robots. This trident stand is simply amazing and a great freebie at it. It is not certain if Bandai will sell the trident stand on its own or giving it as a free gift in future releaes. I am not taking any risks and got 2 Mightgaines to get another trident stand.

Today's review is on Bandai Tamashi Web Limited Super Robot Chogokin SRC Gekiryujin. Gekiryujin is only available through pre-order and is a figure that I have been looking forward to, as I am a big fan of the GaoGaiGar series.
Like his brother Choryujin, Gekiryujin comes in nice metallic finishing colors of green and yellow. In fact, both figures have the exact same engineering and design, the difference only in their accessories or weapons. Gekiryujin comes with a mixer barrel for his right hand and a sort of shovel attached to his left hand.
Gekiryujin also comes with spare shoulder pads, whose windscreen can be remove to insert the boosters into the shoulder pads for its space flight mode. Unlike Choryujin who got the boosters as a separate limited edition pack, the boosters come together with Gekiryujin in ths limited set.
Gekiryujin looks marvellous standing beside Choryujin. The shine on their metallic finishing is absolutely stunning.
The key feature of Gekiryujin is that he can cross combine with Choryujin, just like what they did in the anime. The result of this symmetric docking combination is Genryujin and Gouryujin.
It is a lot of fun, mix combining the 2. And if you have 2 set of each, you can have 4 different figures. There are a few nice touches by Bandai, such as giving new chest parts tot go along with the 4 different combinationa.
For Gekiryujin and Choryujin, we have the yellow & green and red and blue colors on the chest plate. for Genryujin and Gouryujin, the chest pieces are in blue & yellow and green and red respectively.
Gekiryujin being an online exclusive is not easy to get if you are not a resident of Japan. And getting from secondary markets or 3rd parties makes the toy cost at least 2-3 times its orginal cost.

Today I am going to review the Bandai Tamashi Web Limited Super Robot Chogokin SRC Go Nagai Wonderland Museum Mazinger Z Devilman Color. Wow, it takes a long breath to that all at once. This Mazinger Z is one of the current most sought after by Mazinger Z fans, mainly because it is an exclusive by Go Nagai, the creator of Mazinger Z.
I am very lucky to be given a piece from ishop, as this piece was sold out within hours it was put up online for pre-order. This is how insanely popular and highly in demand this piece is. And ishop2go is able to procure this limited exclusive item to its customers at a very reasonable price, similar to what our Japanese friends are paying in Japan.
Mazinger Z is colored with reference to Devilman in 3 shades of green. I call this a fusion of both Go Nagai's successful works. The color is very vibrant and glossy at the same time, and it looks fabulous when you put it under the light.
Articulation for this Mazinger Z is the same as the first SRC Mazinger Z released. However, it is good to know that they have fixed the none clicky joint problem for the left elbow.
The joints on the overall felt tighter than the original release so I suppose some improvements have been made to them. Either that or it is just purely because it is a new figure out of the box.
The jet scandler is also colored in green while retaining the glossy metallic red for the wings. This is just so Devilman!
An additional touch is also made to add in the Devilman logo on the waist belt of the jet scandler and makes this much more than just a repaint.
While this is a wonderful figure, it is difficult to get one, especially one at a reasonable price as secondary market prices have gone up a lot due to the rarity and demand for it.
Lucky for those of us who visit ishop2go, we managed to get this exclusive item at a reasonable price before it was sold out.
