Hmm...still make me wonder if the Face Open gimmick is going to be spring loaded or not. It would be the coolest anime accurate gimmick in the SOC line, with a touch of a button on the head, then the 2 or 3 pieces of the face mask just shoot off. How cool is that?! ;D But guess it can be a nightmarish issue if the button is way too sensitive, or the spring is too strong. We'll end up having numerous complains of missing faces. Bandai can always make some spares though, just like the entry plugs on the EVAs. This Gaiking looks very very promising already. Probably will be one of my top SOC favorites in a while, as long as no major design flaws there. As its still heavily based on the classic SOC Mazingers/Getters arms & limbs designs, looks like this one really can't go wrong. Cooool. ;D

Thanks for the links. The decision has been made to purchase it as soon as it's available for preorder.
I would pay $300 for a large space dragon without blinking an eye.

The question for me is "HOW MUCH"?
I mean, most accessories seem to be plastic, but I believe the leg, torso and "mouth" sections will be diecast, so we are looking at Getter G / Tetsujuin levels of diecast with more accessories.
Probably 8,000 yen.
I can hardly wait.

If these accessories in the pic are the only ones, I would say about JpY7500-8000, about the same price as the Getter Dragon.
However, with the Gaiking being passed as a [semi] combiner, it may go for a higher price tag than the likes of the Getter Dragon.

Well, this price range surely makes the item EVEN MORE essential.
I hope this turns out to be the std price as (minus 5% eraly bird HLJ) plus JpY 1,100 for shipping equals JpY 7560 (around what Omini predicted).

It sounds good, but from experience, this is usually the initial price quote (especially for pre-orders) for this item. It's likely to go up a little when the item is in stock. IIRC, some shops put the VB-6 Koenig Monster for pre-order and had a pricetag of JpY13,800. When the item was near release, the prices jumped to as much as JpY14,500. I won't hold my breath about the price, but I'll just expect it to be priced the same as other standard SOC releases. ;D

I read on another BBS that it's going to be out by March.
Judging by the time of the prototype pics to the time of release, I'd say March is pretty much it. Give or take early April.
