Bandai, release the vulcan and Giant Robo... and stick a giant head onthat Vulcan. at least put it at as a source accurate accessory. There, i just made you thousands .and those bust up heads you put in as accessory, build a SRC around THAT!! i got more where those came from. ?

I wasn't a big fan of SRC. However I start to warming up about this line.. I have 4 SRC figures so far. I hope Bandai can continue this line. My wish list is Jeeg, Astroganger, Godannar, Tetsujin 28-go FX, Giant Robo and UFO Warrior Dai Apolon. BTY please re-release Gear Fighter Dendoh!

i was going to create a thread about this lol, yea lately even the SOC line is kinda slow more reissue no new characters, which is great if you miss out one of the original releases and in my personal opinion thats slow down is great for me because i started this hobby in the last quarter of 2010 i still have ALOT to collect so i guess one year or two with no new releases is a good thing for me and for older collectors wallets

Best guess is sales must have slowed down. Really I blame the focus of the line being all over the place. They were doing classic, super sentai, Brave and others. I think if the focus of the line would have been scaled down affordable SOC while dabbling into other series every now and then it would have been stronger. Its worked for the figuarts line.

Just found this its from 1983 they only made a few robots in this line but its a very articulated robot for its time..DYNAROBO from Dynaman,its not the Godaiken ones its Popy though...check photo on box for articulation..would make a cool SRC...they should do all the early Sentai.. yea i remember those old gokins great childhood memories here i used to have alot of them but i dont know where i put them lol i found this one in my storeroom like 2 months ago

Yeah its silly,there were so many "waste SRC" in the line too that could have had better characters in their place,those awful armored Core things,that stupid crayon,and even a few of those later ugly Sentai,should have started with earliest sentai to later ones if anything.
Enough b*tching about what "could have been" lets see some good future offerings! imagine an SRC scaled set of all the SOCs thusfar?? They should take clues from what sold big in SOC and do them!! minus the EVAs ofcourse.Imagine an SRC Daltanious!! or Godsigma! the proportions could be even better because they wouldnt have to account for transformation! It would be incredble!

It would be incredble! true i always wanted a transformable robots in the SRC but in here its in the robots mode so they are doing fewture idea with getter robo, just imagine Combattler V, Daimos , Godsigma and Voltes V with amazing articulation, anime accurate colors, i can't say accessories because we are still waiting for mazinger weapon set 2 & the spazer for Grendizer and thats really really frustrating because its already here why they don't release it i just hope they don't become arrogance about their work and listen to us more

If you are not living in Japan, Bandai could give a rat's ass about what we want. They only cater to Japanese in Japan. Some say it's not true, but their release choices speak for themselves. So, only 4 robots in 2014? I can't remember past the Crayola Robot. I know GaoFighGar is 2014 for sure, but which other SRCs were released (not repaints)? }D

It sucks to be a gaijin.
But, yes, Bandai should've stuck to their old SOC formula and perhaps then the SRC line would've seen more new SRCs by now. To just have only 4 robot character SRC's in 2014, something must be going wrong in the company... budget-wise.

Remember it was the forth entry in the SOC series after the two mazingers and combattler ! It is important enough to be the forth before getter or gaiking or voltes ! Even mazinger although it is a legend and the most beloved super robot in Japan but the lots and lots of repaints started to flood really after having a new show for the franchise to gain interest and more popularity (which was shin mazinger) after that all the SRC and the newer repaints of SOC started pumping. I am pretty sure that having a new anime will create market and will result is similar (but not as much as mazinger) repaints flooding!!

Repaints..... lets not give Bandai any more ideas for Maz repaints, or else they'll breakout with a "Hello Kitty" color version. lol zozo-mag

Sadly, I think Bandai's focusing on other things like sailor moon and hello kitty stuff.
That said, I still want SRCs of:
Combattra Gaiking Voltes The original Getter Team.

SRC Goldymarg SRC Mic Sounders - Boom Robo Mode SRC Getter 2 and 3 SRC Big O
Just a few ideas. Aside from the getters, all the others were even shown as prototypes, and never released. What the hell Bandai...

I don't collect SRC, but I'd buy Tetsujin 28FX. It was like the only one I was interested in since the beginning.

I am pretty sure that having a new anime will create market and will result is similar (but not as much as mazinger) repaints flooding!! bro are we going to have the same discussion we had in the mazinger canon lol, on your comment you said it your self its the fourth not the first in japan they love him fourth lol so bandai going to build more mazinger z and milk him to the fullest because hes the most popular robot in japan and if i'm not mistaken all over the world putting the repaint versions aside in the SOC line we have GX-01, GX-01R , GX-01R+ and the GX-01R 40th anniversary in the SRC we have the regular mazinger z and last but not least we have the awesome DX chogokin mazinger z so thats 6 mazinger z figure and all are sold well thats just the anime accurate figures, my point is you can't compare between mazinger z and grendizer in japan because mazinger z is what japanese people want its just marketing and what the customers want

Exactly .. mazinger is the number 1 super robot in Japan and I have said it many times before and in my post above !! But even number 1 super robot needs a new anime or rendition so they can boost the merchandise about it !! Remember that the mazinger releases tripled after showing the shin mazinger anime ! That dose effect ! Even the DX mazinger was planned after showing it ! Because you need to remind people of their passion towards a character!! In the early concept art stage shin mazinger was going totally different than what we have seen !! Very different than the mazinger that we know and love ! But then they changed their mind for a marketing reason!! If they make it so much different then the true mazinger fans won't get the shin mazinger toys !! So they make it closer to the comic and the mazinger we know! Regarding the SOC putting the forth release as grendizer diffidently tells you the truth about how popular grendi is in country that swims in super robots!! It wasn't any of the geters , not voltes or any of sunrise robots, not even Tetsujin 28 which is extremely popular in Japan as the first giant robot (not super robot) so that alone tells you some thing... Ofcourse not as popular as mazinger cause no body is in Japan (except for gundams) but pretty damn close
