Is it just a straight up reissue with no mold changes or improvements? I'm happy with my gx-39 Baikanfu. To me it's already a great mold. 25,000 yen is quite steep for a straight up reissue. I'll get it if there are improvements to the mold, but it looks like it's the same thing.

If scheduled to be released in September, pre order might started on early May. End by end of April I hope we all could get official pictures and specs of this Baikanfu. And moat importantly to decide if it's worth replacing the existing one.

There are some changes made to the figure.
1. The head sculpt is different now 2. There are more diecast parts. Thigh covers and front of feet
Still, it doesn't justify the 7000yen or 39% price increase from the original figure. They will have to give us a lot more reason for us to bite at that price.

I was afraid of this as well..could be similar with dancouga thats why I took the sentinel version. I guess we just have to wait for more updates.

That's quite a list of changes to a pretty nice figure initially, I wonder what they will do to Dancouga since that is a much older design.

In terms of functionality,much tighter ratchets for the arms of Big Moth would help a whole lot as his arms tend to flop around when holding weapons and putting them on is a pain if KumaStyle's video is any indication. And I would love a more secure and less partsforming heavy head attachment for Eagle Fighter when it turns into Dancouga.

Looks like apart from the new head, the new diecast thigh parts, the yellow parts on the original are going to be painted in gold. I hope they improve the dummy body too though, the lack of biceps on Baikanfu even with the dummy torso thrown in is a real eyesore. Gold

I was looking at my soc dancouga and the new sentinel offerings. I think my only gripe about bandai is the crotch needs to be redesigned. It's so short, the proportions are thrown off. If bandai doesn't update it I wish a 3rd party would come along and make a new upgrade.

The only part of the Sentinel version I think looks better is Rom Stoll.
I find it funny that after Dancouga, the SoC still captures the anime look way better.
Unfortunately the Sentinel one is the one that isn't sold out on HLJ.

Unfortunately the Sentinel one is the one that isn't sold out on HLJ. Probably because the Sentinel Baikanfu is in DX price range and Sentinel is hit or miss but a lot more hit than miss lately.
