Has there ever been a SoC that reached the prototype phase but, for whatever reason, ended up never being released?

Besides Golion which was all here-say, I don't know of any SOC's that were shown and later cancelled. Bandai is pretty good about making sure they can produce something before spending the R & D on a figure they can't sell or at least what they can show. I'm sure behind closed doors there are a ton of designs and plans for figures that are just waiting to be greenlighted.

Yeah, I already know about all the unreleased SRCs. Well, not all of them, but even I have noticed that Giant Robo and Tetsujin 28FX have kind of disappeared after being demoed - the latter especially since I was actually kinda sorta looking forward to that one.
Maybe producing SoCs is too expensive for them to just make a prototype and then forget about it?

It looks that way,, if a prototype SOC's been made, its almost 100% sure.

I'm not particularly fond of SRC team. They really badly need of new sculptor and decisive project manager. I mean, if other chogokin branch can produce crap like Disney combiner robots, and sun god building monument garbage bot and SRC branch has problem releasing super robot mentioned above? Somebody at Bandai def needs little talk

I am actually surprised they did not make this for SRC as TWE. Just scale down the mold and done. Theoretically

I wouldn't actually call that a cancelled soc prototype since the japanese text says it is a scratch built giant fossil bastodon made from epoxy putty and a gundam master grade gogg model kit
