Adam Savage Reviews Bandai's 1/144 Saturn V Model Set!
Adam Savage’s Tested
Since I got the Lego version of the Saturn V, I was curious to see what this one is like. First off, it's not a kit, it's fully assembled. It is highly detailed and liable to be fragile. I mean what happens if you drop a Lego model? You have to snap it back together. I think I would a little worried about dropping the Bandai model, especially since I know it costs almost $1,000.
Bonus phrase of the day:
Otona no Chogokin - found on the Big Bad Toy Store page - means Adult Superalloy.
Chogokin (超合金, Chōgōkin, Sometimes Chougokin or Cho-gokin) is Japanese for "Superalloy" and is a fictitious material which first appeared in Go Nagai's Mazinger Z manga and anime. It was later adopted by Popy in 1972 as the name of a new line of die-cast metal robot and character toys sold in Japan. The first of these toys was the "GA-01" Mazinger Z, which, in spite of questionable engineering that led Popy to offer a free replacement campaign, ignited a craze that changed the face of the Japanese toy industry in the 1970s. Bandai, the parent company of Popy, continues the Chogokin line to this day, branded under their own name.
