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 Bro .. 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 you are right bro, but i don't think making a manga or even an anime show won't increase sales or popularity of a character for example look to combattler v i will get a figure for him even if they made him out of lego why because i love this robot it doesn't matter how many anime or manga they release for him, its like what you said about passion and you can't remind people what they are passionate about because they didn't forget, i want to see more of grendizer i hate the fact they don't make him as much or as good as other super robot

I think the first patch was horrible then second patch was better controlled then the desaster happened and the company went down the hill

I think the first patch was horrible then second patch was better controlled then the desaster happened and the company went down the hill very true the prices went down dramatically even for the euro version but all have the breakable double hurricane i guess, sadly CMs was doing great bringing back some really classic super robot but now we look for evolution toy to do that, im planning to get their albegas along with big dai x

It's less about running out of figures to make and more about new lines coming out, re-issues of past SOC's, and the fact that there's a new Gundam series coming out along with a Evangelion movie and Macross tv series sometime in the future. Bandai only has so many factories to produce toys.

Looking at the horizon, what do we have for upcoming confirmed SRCS?
-Chrome Mazinkaiser (just rolled out) -SRC Repli-Gaogaigar -Getter 1 -Grendizer Spacer...?
When's the next Wonderfest? This month end I think? Here's hoping they unveil some good stuff there. Heaven help us if it's another Mazinger repaint again..

They can't be runnin' out of ideas, they showed tons of prototypes, ready to be mass-produced, all it takes is will and dedication. Come on Bandai, where are those sweet Goldymarg and Mic Sounders you showed us? We need to complete the GGG gang! Those are the only ones left (from the 1997 anime). Where's that Giant Robo? Or that Big O?
I hope they didn't forget about those prototypes... probably not, but you never know.

With the GGG robots alone, Bandai can fill up the whole 2015 release year. Would love to see the Getter 2 and 3, as well as the Shin Getter 2 and 3 see the light of day... plus a Black Getter, of course! }D

The SRC slowdown has been confusing me for a while. Makes me worry that the sales have not been as good as hoped? I cannot imagine that. I do wish they would roll out more Brave Robots. Heck, I would buy ever prototype they have showed thus far

For all we know, they might just make Getter 1 and nothing more... *fingers crossed*

It would be nive to have the Getters,we can never have enough,but howabout some of the rarer ones in the Getter family too? Like Shin Dragon,Getter Arc,Getter Go,etc etc..it would be sick to have all the teams in SRC size!! But Shin Getter 3 is a damn must.
