Bandai Soul of Chogokin GX-55 Ninja Senshi Tobikage and Houraioh Part 1 of 3

[Xephon0930]

I got a question,are the Tobikage coreblocks interchangable between the different Chogokin figures?

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@Xephon0930 Only the tobikage that comes with the lion bot GX-54, can be interchanged among the 3. The bigger one that comes with GX-55 can only be fitted on GX-55.

[Xephon0930]

@OptimusPrimeSG That kinda sucks,but it does make sense.

This one I feel like getting. :D

[Bloodsport1]

How much are these figures?

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@Bloodsport1 retail price in Japanese yen is about 9000yen. that's about USD110.

I think this figure (Tobikage, Houraioh, I don't mind) focuses more on style, accuracy and articulation while the first Tobikage focuses itself on being a toy.

[nightslash3535]

So... This one has a different Tobikage compared to the GX-54 Kurojishi?

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@nightslash3535 Yes, he is a lot bigger, slimmer and has much better articulation.

[nightslash3535]

@OptimusPrimeSG Does that has anything to do with the Ninja Senshi Tobikage anime where it kinda changes modes or something or was this an upgraded form, please tell me.

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@speedstriker If you have the figure and observe the joints, it's like a hybrid of revoltech and SHF. I would say Bandai gave us the best of both worlds in this figure. They should consider improvising their SHF to this level, perhaps call it Super SHF.

[speedstriker]

@OptimusPrimeSG But then the price point would be different.... I'm not sure if anyone is willing to shell out $60+ for SHF sized figures.

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@speedstriker If they ever release Tobikage as a SHF size stand alone figure, i am sure he won't cost more than $30-$35.

Is Zerokage will be the same size as the GX-55 Tobikage version?  great review by the way!!

[OptimusPrimeSG]

@rashidori Yes, Zerokage will be the same size as GX-55 Tobikage. I can't wait to get him! =)
