Cool stuff!

Did your Soltic and Dougram have a diecast inner frame and plastic removable armor? Asking because, if so, I had those too! My dad bought them at a local model store in the town I grew up. Looking back it's nothing short of a miracle that they had something so cool.

Yup, they did! And the most fragile and miniscule decals that I botched horribly having little experience with applying them. They really were a marvel from a design standpoint. The armor was modular and they had some sort of shock absorbing spring system in the lower leg. I also had a diecast and plastic Mugen Calibur jeep-mech (non-transforming) in the same scale. It had similar plastic armor plates, but wasn't as innovative or cool as Dougram and Soltic. Good stuff, we seem to have a few childhood parallels...Rom, Crystar, Dougram, Soltic, etc. It's nice review common memories.
