Godmarz Stands Alone

Filed under: Co. POPY,Toy Love — Prometheum5 @ 5:36 pm


“You’re inferior.”

Godmarz had dealt with this his entire roboty life… “Godsigma doesn’t have to deal with this, and he’s only got 3 members!” Godmarz had always felt outcast from the other robots due to his Custom-type sensibilities, and yet, whenever more than five kaiju showed up at a time, the other robots still called Godmarz in to save the day. Godmarz was forced to act as sentinel, guarding over the other robots in case of a vinyl invasion.
Godmarz stands alone.

The GB-88 Godmarz Custom marks a turning point in my new foray into the wild world of vintage robot toys, especially those made by Popy. Godmarz is my first ‘big’ Popy toy… everything else up to now has been the early super robots like Great Mazinger and the Getters, or ST-sized figures like Dairugger. Godmarz is my first DX vintage ‘gettai’ figure, and stands alone from the crowd right now as something ‘more’ than the other vintage guys. He’s got a friend or two on the way, but he’s also on the border between the Chogokin toys and the vinyls, forever forced to stand guard against their growing, squishy ranks.
