Soul of Chogokin GX-36 Ideon

[DavidFullam]

Wish I had the money to buy one.

[Gryphon1973]

Thanks for the review. It covered everything I wanted to know about this figure, and helped convince me it was worth getting. I don't think having knowledge about the anime it comes from is particularly necessary. In the end I just want to know about the figure itself, what features it has and how they work. How the tie back and reference the fiction is not really important, to me anyway. Keep up the great reviews!

[henshinplex]

DONT FUCKING WATCH IT

[rockzone16]

do you have a gundam?

[titan1990omega]

that cannon is a black hole cannon

[duo60692]

HENSHIN! AND GATTAI! ideon is awesome

[dungeonmaster16]

man the toy is cool i played him in SRW a3 at first he sucked in the game because he only had 2 attacks until later he learns more attacks and he kicks the anemys but with the beam cannon.

[dungeonmaster16]

damn 3 puonds that is pretty heavy for a metal mech i think my mazinger z 09 version is the same size i think i dont know

[madvideogamer]

The look isn't so appealing, but the features and parts are amazing.

[TurbineDogSevenFour]

Ideon Really dosent look like the Robot that would end the universe. Like a Chinese Gundam Ripoff. Least inspiring universe destroying robot.

[COD444444444]

you are totally right he's so plain and boring

[Fieryone233]

True, but that is what gives him that WHAT THE FUCK!? Factor.

[Renkisakaji]

can anyone tell me how much this guy is?????

[Sandrock3198]

more or less $200 on ebay

[ryu289]

Also the beams of light that come from ideon's arm, the "ideon sword", can stretch to infinity and cut through an entire planet.

[ryu289]

The 'cannon' is called the ideon gun, a weapon hat uses the ideon's limitless energy as a destructive and long reaching blat said to be able to destroy whole galaxies.

[cartarg]

ohhh i wish this guy knew the power of this thing when he was messing with it

[classof77]

Got DAMN, son. That is a mother of a toy robot!

Back in the early 1980s my local hobby import dude would occasionally stock the clunky little unpainted plastic Aoshima model kits for Ideon, in wacky scales like 1/600, 1/810, etc.

I'm just imagining if someone had shown us THIS exquisite SOC masterpiece back then ... told us we'd be able to buy this beast in a quarter century or so ... damn.

[spacered]

Wow Ideon, I'm Getting like that with my money for Ebay or Other site online Shopping.

[7th]

Ah Ideon, if your not familiar with Tomino, his nickname and how he got it

boy are you in for a surprise

[briareos02]

LOL!! I haven't seen the anime either but I heard it's one of the more brutal ones out there.

I seriously doubt if it will ever get shown on Cartoon Network.

[RealKull]

@7th

You mean "Kill 'em all" Tomino???

;-)

[SageofTalos]

@RealKull this is the anime that solidified that infamous nickname of his. Tomino wanted to ensure that no sequel could be made of ideon. He succeeded.

[fredwolfy1]

[mcescher32]

Great review, Dude. Can't wait for mine to arrive. (C'mon Wednesday!)

[fredwolfy1]

[Freccia6000]

Complimenti DX molto bello.

[losethegame101]

God damn. That's an awesome toy.

[fredwolfy1]

i want ideon!

[drhazamakuroo]

I decided to buy only one chogokin in my life. I buyed Ideon. :)

[morrismak]

i love these vintage toys....gives me a lot of memories

[haterofhenry]

That is such a nice figure.

[IdeonFukkatsu]

Nobody fucks with ideon. It's the most powerful mecha in the super robot wars universe.  It kills anything in 1 hit with it's ideon gun. Which reminds me: doesn't this model come with the ideon gun? Cuz ive seen the same model on ebay and it comes with the ideon gun. Evangelion totally plagiarised this series.

[EvangelionUnit13]

evangelion only took the ending, which was still different. evangelion focused on psychological stuff and all that. ideon is way too powerful imo

[Rodimus78]

Really? I thought Gunbuster took a lot of meat from Ideon than Evangelion...didn't it?

[7th]

Aonnoa himself even admitted he was "inspired" by Ideon, so..take that how you will

[Rodimus78]

Yeah, I agree with you there. I wonder if hardcore EVA fans were aware of Ideon 10 years ago, cause I've only found out about it in 2006 while browsing through Wikipedia. I guess it's one of those rare gems outside the regular Anime fanbase. If I'm wrong, please bother to correct the information.

[Hepathos]

NICE toy. Big load of accesories too!

[vmred]

woooooooooo

ideonnnnnnnn

my old buddyy

[yyykkkei]

wow...
