Godaikin, Godaikin

In 1982 Bandai decided to try themselves, and came up with the Godaikin range. The name is a combination of the Japanese words for "alloy" ( gokin ) and "big" ( dai ), and is presented as " GoDaiKin " on the packaging (however, within collectors' sources, the title case version is more commonly used).

For the second series of Godaikin figures, Bandai introduced a smaller range of figures alongside the next batch of Deluxes. The Standard Godaikin were all around 6 inches tall, and some were smaller versions of Deluxe figures released the same year. Some of these were actually DX Chogokin due to their features, but were bracketed as standard figures in America due to their size. Bandai also released some toys from the Big Scale Ships range to tie in with the figures.

Some of these had been shown in America previously in different forms, but none were actively tied into the Godaikin brand.
