Not to squash everyone's dreams or risk getting flamed too much, but did any ever consider that the three SOCs that are being referred to at the beginning of this post are in fact: Battle Fever, Gold Lightan and Voltes V? It is never stated that these SOCs are slated to come after
Think about it for a minute...
All it really says is upcoming releases and three different sizes.
"Xabungle Size" = Gold Lightan "Standard Size" = Battle Fever "Large Size" = Voltes V
Please don't excommunicate me from the boards . I just don't want anyone to get their hopes up for something when in fact they already know the answers.

temujen, it seems unlikely that they'd do something like that for things that have already been announced. Gold lightan hasn't actually been announced officially so it's a possibility, but it would be very bizarre for a magazine to do previews on battle fever and voltes and then off on the side hint about them coming out as if they weren't already known.

I agree, but it is my understanding that Bandai has no affiliation with these magazines. Has Bandai officially come out and state that these are to be released? If so, wouldn't there be less confusion as to which GX- was which? I was more under the impression that these magazines were showing "leaked" photos prior to an official announcement. Kind of like they do in the automobile industry talking about the next "big release" for a car maker before they make it official.
Don't get me wrong, I am still excited at the rumored prospect of them doing Raideen. It just seems unlikely that they would release 6 different new SOCs (Gold Lightan, Battle Fever, Voltes V and 3 others) plus reissues in one year. There were only 3 new SOC in 2005 (Gaiking, Xabungle, and Black Ox). The Angels and Metallic Blue T28 were reissues.
This way if I am wrong I will be happy and if I am right I won't be surprised.

The stuff with the magazines is not an issue of leaks, it's all given to them straight from the horse's mouth.
Keep in mind that gold lightan hasn't been confirmed, and it would be 1 of those 3 if it does turn out to be real. Also that Voltes and Battle Fever have been under development for long before the new year started.
Also, the mazinger angels and the blue metal tetsujin are new variants, not reissues. There's no way of telling what kind of variants will be coming this year- the mazinger angels are over, I doubt there will be another tetsujin and there hasn't been a black version release in a long time now.
Anyway, that would come to a total of five new SOCs in a year. But ya know, the Voltes was on the list the magazines gave *last* year. So the last of these 5 could easily get pushed off until the next year, leaving only 4. If one of those is a walker gallier, that would certainly be one of the easiest SOCs to design yet- they need do little more than make the HCM articulated with diecast and a nice paint job.
Speaking of the hint from last year, that also was a hint for the things coming up after the already announced stuff.
Not saying your suggestion is dumb or anything, I just don't think it'll turn out to be right. We'll see I guess.

Fair enough. I took no offense at anything you said. Your point was well stated.
I would honestly like to see more "new" SOCs. I know that there is a market for variants and lord knows they are easier to churn out, but I would rather see them concentrate on characters they haven't touched on before. I know I will probably get shot for this, but I think that there are more than plenty enough Mazinger SOCs in the line already. Maybe that is because Mazinger never really did anything for me. It would be like if they made the Getter Robos and then the Getter Robo Gs and then Neo Getter Robo and Shin Getter Robo. People that weren't that into the whole Getter Robo thing would say enough already. I find the characters I knew nothing about like Zambot 3 and Xabungle to be exciting. I kick myself daily missing out on Zambot 3 (still hoping for a reissue on that one). I knew nothing about Xabungle when it was announced, but it inspired me to research it. Another one that I had doubts about is Battle Fever, but from all the photos I've seen it looks awesome!
So, maybe Raideen or Jeeg this year. That would be cool. Heck, even ones I know nothing about like Trider G7 or Daitarn 3.

Hi, sure all of us will get satisfaction, they will release each robots you talked about. Now the question is, in which place will be release this one? before my favorite or after yours? We all need to be patient, for my own as i am in the Getters, i'd like a Getter robot go set, a shin Getter set (as Aoshima will surely never release Shin Getta 2 and 3...) a neo Getter set and of course a new Shin Getter set of 3. Getter, Getter, Getter !!!!! I know some of you wish the same dream: we are boring that making a Getter 2 or 3 seems to be not in plans of each toys companys, but sure Bandai Soc will do...

A white Tetsujin 28GO with the big K could be another variant of GX-24.

Nice to know someone else is a getter fan. But I would rather Bandai concentrate on the Shin 2004 or Shin. I'm not really into the Neo or Go series. (too different)

REIDEEN.
There is no question, it is pure neglect that has allowed him to be left out this long. He is brave mighty super robot and requires respect.
DAMM IT. He fought a giant hand from hell, and squids from hell too.
I don't think anyone even built him. Did the gods not just drop him off on the beach one day?
More Mazingers?, More Xabungle? Are you mad? How bout more versions of Shin Getter Robo too while your at it?
Jesus titty fuqn Christ read what you are saying.
There is no Brave Reideen SOC and, and you want repaints of robots you already have.
thats messed up.
Hey, you know I love you guys. I'm just being a good friend, telling you REIDEEN is getting dissed and your just standing there wishing for white Tetsujin. FUQ!!!!
Do you know who Reideen is? Ya ever notice how he looks different from all the other robots?
he shoots a giant long bow!
Maybe you don't feel like I do when I sleep with my Jumbo Reideen on my stomach at night.
I think he smells different than the other toys, is that weird?
When that fuqing coke whor of an ex, ran off with that Pu$$y from "The Bronx", who was there for me?!
Reideen!
He was like "Mechadevil, that b!tch is beat anyhow, spending your money, waistin yo time."
It was weird because when Reideen speaks he sounds just like film actor Ving Rhames, than he went on "Yeah see you got confused by that Ho's flare, she frontin with tatoos, an motorhead shirts, crazy hair, that sh!t just distracted you, take it all away, she jus a old hood rat from Fresno, so fuq that ho".
Ya know what, Reideen was right because he is wise.
You can be wise too, start respecting Reideen. Be a man.
I should have posted this sooooo long ago.
I should not have taken those pain killers with the vodka.
I am going to try and sleep, when I get back we will work on this attitude of yours.
