She is pursued closely by commrades sent by Gije, but they lose sight of her. Karala, the daughter of the Buff Clan’s military commander flies down to the planet against orders to investigate (her commanding officer, Gije, is reluctant with her, due to her standing and the fact that he once was a soldier under her father). Suddenly, a humanoid alien civilization known as the Buff Clan comes across Solo. For six months they had diligently restored the machines but failed to get the giant tanks to move. On the planet Solo in the Andromeda Galaxy, a group of archaeologists had come across the mysterious remains of the Ideon-three large armored trucks with the ability to transform into a godlike mecha. Which sort of explains the ridiculously high death count on both sides of the characters in the show.Space Runaway Ideon begins in 2300, far enough in the future that mankind has begun colonizing other planets.

Otherwise, if you’re a casual SOC collector, this might not be something you’d be excited for.įunfact: The series is directed by the Gundam series creator Yoshiyuki “kill ’em all” Tomino. I guess someone upstairs in the Bandai chain must really love Ideon?Īnyway, if you’re a fan of Ideon, this is a pretty decent release and is worth checking out ( just don’t expect “bang for the buck” levels compared to the old Gx-36 version). How Bandai does their market research, I’ll never figure out. Ideon isn’t exactly the first super robot that comes to mind when you consider this dynamic posing, Obari-styled sub-line (heck it wouldn’t even be my 40th guess) and yet here we are. Somehow it all feels forced or rushed to include Ideon in the line. The real let downs here are the lack of accessories and the character choice for a “Full Action” figure. The paint, finish, design is all good and is what is to be expected of a Soul of Chogokin release. Overall, no real problems with the toy per se. Compared to the previous SOC FA releases, this figure really comes with the least amount of stuff by a mile! Lack of accessories? This is a first for Bandai. Zero ratchet joints, on par with every other SOC FA release. Watch out for paint chipping on the feet fins.
It’s actually fun to handle, unlike the Gx-36 that felt too heavy and clunky to pose around. FA Ideon stands roughly 7.5 inches and weighs 301 Grams. I’ll guess have to revisit this post again some day when I have some spare time.
Heck, I didn’t even try to dig out the original Gx-36 Ideon for a proper comparison shot. FA Ideon wasn’t really getting my creative juices excited enough to go the extra mile for it. Instead, I opted to spend the afternoon goofing off with the kids. admittedly, I didn’t have enough time to break everyone (anyone?) out for a group shot since it was the holidays.

With the other Full Action Soul of Chogokin figures. While you can display Ideon holding the Ideon Gun without the base, it’s more recommended that you use the base to prevent the hands warping over time from holding the gun’s weight. You can use the base to help hold some action poses, but I really don’t recommend leaving him posed like that for more than a few minutes. LOL! I never thought I would see the day when the plugs for the base holes count as a separate accessory! This is embarrassing Bandai. Optional “articulated hands” for gripping the Ideon Gun. Ideon’s most powerful weapon, the Ideon Gun, also known as the Wave Leader Cannon. Ideon Swords(?), seriously Bandai, you couldn’t include these? You can return the pylons after snapping the missiles effect in place.
To equip it’s “all missile” attack, you have to remove the cover plates first and elevate the shoulder pylons. Thanks to all the various joints in a Full Action Soul of Chogokin figure, you can have this guy in a lot of dynamic poses. Powered by the mysterious, yet infinite, Ide energy, the Ideon is capable of wiping out even entire planets with its powerful Ideon Gun. After being attacked by the alien Buff Clan, the vehicles combine into a powerful mecha, the Ideon. Set in the year 2300, a group of Terran archeologists discover three ancient vehicle relics on the distant planet Solo.

I wish they did this sooner, since Voltes and Daimos came with boring “1-page, black and white” manuals (the manuals improved starting with FA Zambot 3).ĭue to the design of Ideon’s feet, this is how he’s packed in the styrofoam tray. I gotta say, I’m glad Bandai is still continuing to include colored manuals for the FA line, even including dynamic toy pose ideas for you to copy.
