How do you used HLJ adv search? down the start page where you can find many options (help center, whole sale etc) there's one that said advanced search. once inside that option you don't have to write every detail, not even the complete name of the product, write it in the keyword option (for example I just wrote tetsujin) and click search down below, just use it like a regular search and items pop up. I don't now why but it takes a few minutes for items to appear with the regular search, if you use this option results appears immediately after being activated in the site. Years of using HLJ, I didn't even know about this. Thanks.

Whooo ! The initial release cost was 6,825円, and now 13,824円 ... That's a pretty pricey voice chips ! I would ask : for those who possess original release, the battle damaged arm was included with or is a new feature ?

Despite the high price, for those that missed out on the initial multi-color releases they can now get one brand new - now with music! If you want to pay the intial price of 6825 Yen, you'll need one of these XD :

But here's the big question - if it plays the theme song, is it the 1963 or the 2004 version?

Sound better, and the toy sculpt is based on the 2004 show, from what I can tell. The 1963 is even chubbier and less defined. And the Shotaro's sculpt is clearly 2004 look. Though Bandai can always change things up according to their liking.

But they released the exact same sculpt to represent the 60's version already, the metallic blue one (and there was a "prototype" colours version but it was obviously representing the show in black& white). It also came with a Shotaro figurine in his pink plaid jacket, which is what he wore on that show.

In that case, "who knows?" would be my answer. 2004 ver. would get my vote though if I have to choose. Funny how the snack brand "Glico" is heavily integrated into the song in 1963 ver., and if it made it into the SOC sound clip. Bonus(2004 ver. with CG Movie visuals):

Oh, read Bandai's official page. They pointed out pretty clear the SOC is going to use the original 1963 version opening song. Problem solved.

The 2004 sounds better, but the 1963 has a simplistic charm to it that kind of fits the character.
