Thanks! Glad you like my pics. The vintage Combatler, Voltes and Dairugger were sold complete as DXs, or the vehicles could be purchased seperately as Popinica. Thanks! So correct me if Im wrong..this is the modern version of popynica but combining correct? This is in line with dx line? Dx - non combining Soul of popynica - combining Thanks fam The origin of the term DX is "deluxe". Large, vintage Gokins with lots of goodies had this moniker. DX robots may or may not be combiners. Not to confuse things, but smaller Chogokin were named ST. This means "standard". Popinica were vehicles. Often, they were parts of a DX Combiner packaged separately. Does that make sense?

I'm thinking it can combine You can barely make out the Combattler's eyes peeking out of the Battle Jet Wonder if they're any add on features or if this just a straight up "upsize" of Gx-50? Gold

Gold True! You got a good eye man! I dont know if you can check it on the reflection as well. Looking at it..the color looks like exactly the gx50..most likely you are correct..a bigger version of gx50

I really hope Bandai will release these guys individually. And it looks like Battle Tank will be sporting rubber treads, bummer I honestly thought the treads in the pic below are plastic, dang, what is wrong with my eyes maybe the cuts in between the tread sections threw me off.

its hard to guess honestly, the joints looks the same to me the GX-50 had couple of problems tho i wish if they fix it 1- the wings and the red parts of battle crusher (2) always falls down easily and its tricky to put them back in, also they need to work on the arm joints because with time it become very loose 2- battle tank (3) if you extend the claws you are in for an hour long ride just to figure how to put them exactly the same way, so you can combine it normally or you will risk getting paint chips in both (2) and (3), the joints that hold the tread section need to be better because the treads always falls down easily 3- also they must find an easier way to combine it and put it back into ships mode, in the GX-50 it was a hard work 4- battle marine (4) back end is wild, i mean you cant move it without the legs move on its own, also the inside part where you connect battle craft (5) get weak with time and it will be broken, and the red parts falls down easily, lastly it need better articulation in the legs, you can bend the knees to a good degree but whats the point if the upper legs (thighs) wont move that much now after you read my post you will think hmmm the gx-50 sound like an awful figure, i need to tell you not at all its just an 8 years old figure that need an update, just like his brother Voltes V, im very sure Bandai can make it happen and fix all those problem i mentioned above

now after you read my post you will think hmmm the gx-50 sound like an awful figure, i need to tell you not at all its just an 8 years old figure that need an update, just like his brother Voltes V, im very sure Bandai can make it happen and fix all those problem i mentioned above Sad thing is GX 50 was already an update and still had problems. I'm dreading the price on this guy considering how expensive the mazinger bros were.

Quite disappointed if the treads are rubber on a DX.

I'm dreading the price on this guy considering how expensive the mazinger bros were. yea true it fixed couple of problems of the GX-03 but think about the GX-50 as if it was the GX-31 respect for volt in box, and this new SOP (Soul Of Popynica) as the GX-31 V 40th anniversary version (hopefully it will be)

From these pictures I am afraid that combattler when combined will have limited articulation! Look at the battle marine where the knees joints should be. It doesn't look there is a knee joint there !! But again maybe because this is just a prototype.
