Bandai Tamashii Web Limited Super Robot Chogokin SRC Kokubouger Review

Hello everyone, here's my review for the Bandai Tamashii Web Limited Super Robot Chogokin SRC Kokubouger. Kokubouger is not a mass release item and can only be bought from Bandai's Tamashii Web shop in Japan. It is only limited to domestic Japanese customers. Outside of Japan, Hong Kong is the only country where it can be pre-ordered.

Kokubouger has an impressive army green gloss finishing that makes it really look and feel like it is made for guerilla warfare. The overall finishing has a touch of gloss and that makes the green less dull.


One might feel that Kokubouger is largely a recolor of Daiguard. However, this is not the case. A lot of retooling and remoulding has been done to create Kokubouger, such as the head, shoulder pads, front chest plate, lower arm attachments, front lower waist and leg guards.


Kokubouger does not come with as many weapons or accessories as Daiguard but it does have all the weapons that it has used in the anime, if my memory serves me right. One of the weapons unique to Kokubouger is the double arm missle pods.



Another weapon is the drill, which can be used for Daiguard to simulate a double drill arm attack.

And of course, there is Kokubouger's ultimate weapon, which is the knot buster.

An effect part is also included to show the knot buster after it has discharged itself into the enemy.

Kokubouger is a great addition to have. Apart from being a fairly newly retooled figure, it has the same hefty amount of diecast as Daiguard. Like most Bandai web limited items, Kokubouger is likely to be a one time release. Hence if you are sitting on the fence, I would advise that you get him soon while you still can before prices get inflated.
