eh , I dont know about you guys but I really hope it is trider g-7 it would look really cool next to raiden and all the other soc toys .. i havent really watched the Daitetsujin 17 show and all i know about it is the old godaikin toy but my guess if they made it, it will be purly made to please japanese people since in my opinion Daitetsujin 17 is less popular than the other robots worldwide

I don't think a Daitetsujin 17 would be purely for Japanese fans at all. It might appeal to them the most, but there are fans outside of Japan who like the show. I think there's also a lot of fans who are drawn to specific mechs because they enjoy them on a purely aesthetic level. I'm in that category. I've never seen Mazinger, Daimos, Daitetsujin, Lightan, Xabungle Etc etc etc... but I like how the robots look enough to be a fan of the designs and want the toys.

How come its back to Daitetsujin 17? Thought its confirmed that its the cell phone robot from a recent live action show which also has a 7 at the end of its name (Keitai Sousakan 7...I think). And Tryder 7 & Daitetsujin 17 are just early speculations from fans. I could be wrong though.

It's still just speculation. Earlier in the thread someone asked why Wikipedia shows it as being Daitetsujin 17, to which I explained it was due to early speculation. Now we're still speculating. I don't think we know yet what it will be for sure. I personally have no interest in the cell phone guy, but I don't like cell phones in general so I'm biased.

Im not talking about the design of the robot ,what i said is in my opinion i think it was made to please japanese people as a major priority that doesnt mean it is going to be made only for them and nobody going to buy it outside japan !!, even if the design of Daitetsujin 17 wasnt that great,im pretty sure the SOC toy can enhance it looks and make it as great as any other SOCs with gimmics and innovative engineering , what Im saying is knowing the soc toyline , most toys they made have a history in a lot of countries outside japan u know or outside audience might know them from srw video games or such,and thats the reason why this toyline is very popular among collecters and kept going till now..and lately .. Raideen Jeeg Daimon Tetsujin Daitarn3 Dygengar are all extremly popular in my opinion and have aired in many countries , while this show we are talking about aired in japan and as wikipedia says few episodes in america ..So it was only a guess thats from all thats given it could be made to please japanese people as a first priority..even if its selling rate worldwide will be less than the others they will be making (Tetsujin Daitarn3 Dygengar)
