Here are 2 pictures of the special GX-24 I saved from Toysdaily more than a year ago. A few of them have passed on eBay for around $400-500. I really like the repaint, it's designed to give the same effect of a B/W TV set, like the original anime... just too expensive I believe the special GX-11 is probably the one on the "Project Soul of Chogokin" book. I have never seen a photo of the special GX-18.

GX-11 Black was I believe a fan custom while I have seen no proof of a GX-18 Shine Spark version to exist, but I could be wrong. I would really like more news and/or photos about these 2 items. I derived most of that informations from sites in Japanese language, about these items I gathered the following: GX-11: prize for a questionnaire about future SoC releases (2 people were extracted from all the questionnaires) GX-18 Shine Spark: prize for Getter Gattai contest

I thought black version of SOC are limited version? if it true it seem Bandai will reissue everything..... may be GX-01RB too Most of the Black versions were not limited edition; I believe the were not reissued up to now because they sold quite poorly. GX-01B, GX-02B, GX-03B were easily found on the market at retail price or less for years after release. AFAIK, the only limited edition SoCs sold in Japan were: Made for Toys's Dream Project - GX-07 (with Sayaka statue) - GX-10B Limited circulation (but still thousands) - GX-01RG (expo version), reissued with different box - GX-08MAW, GX-09MAB, GX-11MAM, GX-12MAG - GX-13R - GX-23A - GX-24 (DVD gift) - GX-28R Special items: - GX-01 Kurogane no Shiro - limited to 10 - GX-01RB - limited to 1,000 - GX-11 Black (Dr. Nonaka repaint) - limited to 2 - GX-18 Shine Spark version - limited to 1

As far as I know the classic Kotetsu Jeeg is still owned by Takara Tomy; Kotetsujin Jeeg is another story though.

So is this guy in scale with the Xabungle and Walker Gallier? No, to be in scale it should be around 90cm

Thanks.
I'd certainly hope for Raideen too... I think GGGG already has a perfect representation in the Max Factory Gokin.

No Chen- it says "Next- the hero is reborn" Since the title of the Raideen show uses the same word for hero and this also meshes with the previous hint of releasing what Nonaka has wanted to release for a long time, it would be truly shocking for it not to be Raideen. Japanese fans are pretty much dead certain on it. Ataru, I did not see the hint you are referring to in original JP language, but actually I believe it could be GaoGaiGar if the word is Yuusha. The title of the first GGG Final episode is "The King of Braves is Reborn!". In a previous hint, Nonaka said they will release a robot of about 10 years ago... GGG series begun in 1997.

Official News from Bandai!!!!!!! What you see here in this picture posted by Bizzio (thanks Bizzio) are the future production from Bandai, in fact there will be produced 2 of this gohkin: Daltanious, Daimos , Raideen!!! Really hope this is true, this would be excellent news! Does this come from other sources besides the GigaHobby article?

Here is a clearer scan (indeed from GigaHobby). From what I know from a person who translated it already, these were just wishes of the person who wrote the article. On the article, there is no real news about Daimos and Daltanious. On the other hand, Raideen is probably confirmed.

The blue weathering is limited to 3,000 pcs (this is confirmed by A.E.).
Nakajo is correct about the black: it should be much less, even if the number has not been disclosed yet.

We're also talking about a blue weathering Arcadia.
It would be pretty interesting to see how the weathering effect is rendered, since the blue tint is already quite dark (much darker than the green one).

Robot Junior is still missing, and I'd really like a SoC release.
It was released in the Popy GA vintage series, but as far as I know it was a huge commercial flop.

Finally the prototype is ready I really like it; it was about time for Aoshima to release a new subject, I'm really tired of Getter 1 gokins

I'm really undecided whether to buy the normal or weathering version... the prototype is really different but the normal and weathering are too close to buy them both. BTW, here is a nice photo of the A.E. limited versions.

Since a lot of people posted on this, please allow me a further off topic to clarify the Anime Export situation too. Anime Import (based in Italy) is by far the biggest gokin distributor in Italy; they mostly sell to retail shops but also online to the general public. Its sister company Anime Export is based in Tokyo, and essentially buys there and sends the items to the Italian company for distribution in Italy. Now they've also partnered with Aoshima to produce the limited editions we all know about. So, all the items they buy on YJ end up on the Italian site for local sale. I find nothing wrong in this, unless the prices become unreasonable. Even though there are cheaper shops here, my personal opinion is that Anime Import prices ARE still reasonable. For instance, they're currently selling the SG-01 in Italy at Euro 199. www.animeimport.it/site/catalogo_b.php?serie=53&coll=3

I'm Italian too, and unfortunately I know what diabolos is talking about, because I read about it many times on Italian forums. Basically he's just trying to convince everyone here that the prices he's charging on his site are the best on the market. Take a quick look here (Aoshima gokins on sale in his shop): www.robotanime.it/modules.php?name=catalog&file=index&cName=aoshimaI think the link needs no further comment: Euro 360 (US$ 465) for a SG-01 + shipping. Diabolos, if you want to better clarify what you intended to say and post in Italian, I'd be more than happy to translate, even if I totally disagree with you...
