I got a Chogokin MG from TOMG. I like the good articulation, detail, and accesories. Thet do good for robotic figures.

The Chogokin Figures are really great. Sadly I only own two but they do the job.

That actually looks pretty cool! What's the articulation like on Kiryu?

I have three - MechaGodzilla '75, MechaGodzilla '04, and Gigan '05.
Technically I have four including the 2005 Gotengo - but I'm not sure that it counts as a chogokin.

Nevertheless, they're all great figures! For me, I take them out of their boxes sometimes to play around with and look at, but most of the time I keep them inside their boxes. For some reason, when they sit out, they tend to collect a lot of dust. Out of all of them, MG '75 if my top favorite.

The articulation is really nicely engineered. The only down fall to the GD-45 Kiryu is the dam spikes on the back fall out even with the slightest tap :/.

After all these years I at last, got all 3 Chogokin FW Gigan variants! And so, to celebrate this feat I wiped out my new camera and took the following shots.

And now you can throw all of them away because the MA version is coming.

Kidding, I've got two of these (not the death trigger one) and they're really cool toys.

Haha! As much as I love Monsterarts, these are going nowhere :P.

Now to hunt down the other Mechagodzilla and Kiryu variants.

The only Chogokin I got is MechaGodzilla 1975. It's an amazing figure even though it's not as acurate to the suit as I thought.

I've always found these figures to be pretty neat, and more than once I've been on the verge of pulling the trigger on the Chogokin MechAGodzilla. I've held back though because the SH series seems to be doing all these characters anyways, and there are a few aspects of the Chogokin figures that I'm not too fond of.

Holy heck the chromed Gigan is hella oversaturated blue.

All things considered, these figures hold up well, especially the MG's. However the only thing that nags me a little on the line are the ratchet joints, which just makes posing a little awkward at times (Gigan) or perfect (MG 74/75). With that said, I absolutely do not regret purchasing any of mine.

While not "Godzilla-verse" related, I do look forward to eventually snagging the Chogokin King Joe and King Joe Black figures.

I own the MG75. It's pretty good with a few minor exceptions.

The tail is made of ball-jointed segments which are prone to falling apart and the inter-changable hands are made of a really soft rubber that is definitely going to deteriorate over time.

But other than that, it's still pretty amazing.

Yeah, I heard people say that the missile digits on the hand can be prone to warping if your not careful at swapping them. I really like what they did with MG's tail however, how it folds down to form the flight mode tail. Nifty little gimmick.

Been starting a 'zilla collection recently & really like the looks of these especially the Mech-G's.
Would likely get one of them 1st, but which in your opinion(s) are the best of them?
