Condition Both the figure and the booklet are unused. They were only opened for photography. Please note that minor scuffs or surface marks may exist due to storage.

GX-01 is not just a figure. It is the modern definitive reproduction of the very first Chogokin robot ever released. The included booklet is Bandai’s official 40-year history of Chogokin, documenting the evolution from the original die-cast robots of the 1970s through the high-end “Soul of Chogokin” series. Together, these two items form a complete narrative: • The book shows the full history of Chogokin • The GX-01 Mazinger Z represents where that history began This pairing is not random — it is the origin and the archive in one set. What is inside the Chogokin Booklet The booklet features: • The birth of Chogokin in the 1970s • Classic robots such as Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Getter Robo, Combattler V, Voltes V, and more • The transition into the modern Soul of Chogokin (GX series) • Official photography, timelines, and archival data It was never sold at retail and was only distributed at Tamashii Nation 2013. GX-01 Mazinger Z (Soul of Chogokin) • The very first release of the GX line • Full die-cast metal construction • Faithful design based on the original 1970s Mazinger Z • The figure that launched the entire Soul of Chogokin series A true collector’s set This lot is not just a figure and a book.
