I could really care less about poseability if I did I would collect Revoltechs or the like, for me toy collecting is emotional and these new DC SOC's just hit me in the nostalgia gut. I could care less if these figures can't do the splits or that over played Iron Man pose, for me these will pretty much end up being posed like the picture above. Having a figure being about to turn into a pretzel is great for taking nice pictures of action poses but the reality is we do that maybe .5% of the lifetime of the toy.

I see it going up, maybe not as fast or as high as DX Mazinger but once stock dries up sooner or later it will go up. Especially if they make a DX Grendizer and continue the line you WILL get completeists who will want to whole set and sellers who are more than welcome to oblige at a healthy mark-up off course.

Let's move on, obviously each line has it's own direction and design sensibilities that help niche out for them a piece in a very crowded market. We can all agree that the SOC line was perhaps the largest reason for the creation of this market, we can all agree that there are now way more companies in this market now then ever before. Some things they do better than Bandai like innovation which is "easier" in a smaller company compared to Japan's largest and things Bandai can do just because it's the largest Japanese toy company out there.
Ultimately it's up to the customer, and like the variety of toys out there the customer base is just as varied.

For Gattaiger the helmet was blue, so I have no idea why they would make it yellow unless it's from a manga cover or just because they want to.

All these new D.C SOC's are figures based on the movies, that's the whole point of these and there weren't that many movies made, these are not going to be an ongoing SOC trend nor are they going to completely re-do all the Dynamic SOC's in this style.
There was:
Mazinger vs Devilman (Mazinger done, Devilman done) Mazinger vs Ankoku Daishogun (Mazinger done, Ankoku TBD) Great Mazinger vs Getter Robo (Great Mazinger done, Getter Robo done) Great Mazinger vs Getter Robo G (Great Mazinger done, Getter Robo G TBD) Grendizer vs Great Mazinger (Grendizer TBD, Great Mazinger done) Grendizer, Getter Robo G, Great Mazinger vs Dragonsauru. (Grendizer TBD, Getter Robo G TBD, Great Mazinger done, Dragonsaurus pipe dream lol).
So technically the only DC SOC's left are Getter Dragon, Grendizer, Ankoku (if a SOC is made), and hopefully some kind of Dragonsaurus. Don't expect the rest of the Getters being made besides 1 and Dragon since they made little to no appearance in these movies.

Look like a more updated version of the classic Cyclone, I do hope it sells so we can finally get a full set from the classic Mospeada series that didn't suck (looking at old CM versions).

There's pictures of two different SD Grendizer's in this thread. One from the ES series and the one with the chrome horns and more Manga looking face from Evolution toys.

It might still combine, the old Godaikin Voltes was sold in separate boxes under the Popynica line as well as a boxed set. Or it could just be highly intricate vehicles that don't combine at all, who knows since there are no actual blueprint drawings of this thing in combined mode.

It looks like hip movement is restricted because of the way they designed the upper hip. On the other figure from 5pro the circular upper hip design was part of the pelvis with the legs getting your standard articulation, on this figure the circular design is part of the leg assembly and limits the movement because it makes contact with the pelvis.

That stand is probably a TWE item and the ships look like they come from GX-06 set.

Probably intended since Mazinkaiser did have gold elbow joints in the anime.
