Classy!

The kind of item we mock now but 20 years from now regret not picking up for the pure humor of it!

SOC handling gloves and cloth

I always felt the Soul of Chogokin line of robots are sacred items. They are the best robots on the market. Besides, for those of you who like me had the luck of watching their respective anime on Italian TV, they are very welcome indeed especially the classic robots of the 70s and 80s. Daitarn 3 is in the pipeline. I hope Bandai will soon release a Daltanious and an Albegas and a Daikengo and the classic Jeeg.

Laugh at this if you want but if you are a true chogokin

collector, you do not have to admit to us, but deep inside you know there are times when you wish you had these while you were picking up a chromed chogokin- instead you use the shirt that you are wearing to wipe off the grease left by your hands. (heh....)

Guys...they're effin'

Guys...they're effin' toys.

I'm not gonna front like I don't use my t-shirt to wipe my fingerprints of some of my chromed vintage toys...but to wear actual gloves is pretty DAMN ridiculous. These are *supposed* to be toys. That's assinine.

And besides, I can see being careful with a rare vintage piece...but an SoC!? C'mon--a toy any jamoke can get offa eBay? Please...

...Now, don't get me wrong--I'm with Leo: I'd get these just for the humor factor! I'd play some classical European music in the background and have a decanter of brandy on hand, while pondering some toy in a smoking jacket!

Hi-Brow Chogokin!

"...Now, don't get me wrong--I'm with Leo: I'd get these just for the humor factor! I'd play some classical European music in the background and have a decanter of brandy on hand, while pondering some toy in a smoking jacket!"

Lol! That's great. Hi-Brow Chogokin! I just know from years of collecting it's the small things like this that people shrug off that we regret picking up at a later date. Not that it will be worth any money ( it's never about how much it's worth to me) it's just one of those items that would be too cool to have in the display case, perhaps with some fake display hands with the gloves holding the Chogokin mid air. Now that's a display stand to end all display stands!!

Don't miss this opportunity!!
