There won't be a SOC anytime soon since that line doesn't deal with brand new properties out of the gate. Doesn't matter though the Metal Build line is just as good and in a lot of ways is way more innovative than the SOC line.

I want a 7 inch, a SOC, a DX, a Jumbo, a papercraft, a gashapon, a gunpla... This looks like Mazinger designed by Tony Stark after watching a bunch of Gundam episodes... Mind blown!

Doesn't matter though the Metal Build line is just as good and in a lot of ways is way more innovative than the SOC line. Except Mazinger Z is HARDLY a brand new property, and I fail to see the point of not putting this in SOC just to stick it in Metal Build, which is just SOC except primarily Gundams.

I think it's for them to promote cross platform/series. Get the SOC people to do a double take on metal build line and vise versa.

This coming sooner than expected, but looks quite good. Looking forward to add this to my collection, and matches the Sentinel aesthetics. But dreaded the idea of yet another Mazinger related figure on my buying list this year...was it like the 4th or 5th now?! Geez...

Don't for get Shin Mazinger Z True I forgot about that one but that is more of a anomaly than norm and I think that had to do with cross promotion at the time.

True Mazinger is not a new property except for the fact that this is not your classic Mazinger but yet another re-imagining of that property. Bandai may think that the Metal Build line is more in tune with younger audiences then the SOC which caters to the older crowd. But in the end who cares its made by the same company, is probably just as good no matter how its branded but we'll see when it comes out.

Does the Metal Build line has pretty high diecast content in general? I only have the Gundam Origin ver. RX-78. Not sure about the newer ones.
I think its a good move not putting this in the SOC line. Just sounds tiresome when you have a Mazinger as GX-70, 70D, 73, 75, as well as all the recent SRCs are also...let me guess...Mazingers? (Emperor, Zero, Great Mazinkaiser). As cool as the toys are, having all these releases within a year or so is pretty ridiculous on paper.

Well we already have confirmation that it curbstomps the sh*t out of the GX-70 in terms of articulation and poseability. I know a lot of people will immediately cringe at a Mazinger Z that's not being 1970's slavish but as a fan of Katoki Gundam designs I love the aesthetic.
