Chogokin is a die-cast metal robot and character toy-line under the Bandai Namco subsidiary, Tamashii Nations. The toy-line was initially created under Popy, another subsidiary of Bandai Namco in 1974, but was later folded into the Tamashii Nations label.[1] The toyline was named after the fictional material of Chougokin or Cho-gokin from Go Nagai's Mazinger Z manga and anime.[2] After the decline of die-cast materials in toys, the line continued creating high-quality items aimed at collectors from various franchises including Gundam, Macross, GaoGaiGar, and even other Nintendo franchises like Metroid.
On May 10, 2024, the Pokémon Center announced a collaboration between the Chogokin line and the Pokémon franchise.[3] Two figures were released in the line.
Other figures have been released under the Tamashii Nations label, such as with the S.H.Figuarts line of figures.
