wartaker, the reason of ET figures high price is most likely the cost of getting the characters licenses. They are not a very large company, unlike Bandai. It costs them more to produce their figures, so buyer have to pay for that. The smaller companies, that legally produce figures that are licensed, are way more expensive than the ones made by bigger companies. As far as the ET Jeeg "S", mine is flawless. I even have picturrs of it "flying" on a Tamashii Trident Stand in my Collection thread here. }D I know that man, License fee an small volume of production make it expensive. Resin model kit has the same problems and their price go much more than ET. But from Buyer view they will look for "What I get at this price?" and ET Price is close to Bandai SOC. That why they compare ET to SOC. If ET price is 2/3 to SOC people may call ET as alternate way for collector, and they will not compare them to SRC because Size is much different. The Strong point for ET is they Do what Bandai Don't. I'm waiting for ET Gakeen because I think Bandai don't do it.

One reason people compare ET to SOC is their price. Getter Dragon , Tetsujin 28 and Grendizer have nearly the same retail price. ET Godmars is cheaper (21492 vs 24840 yen), but nothing compare to SOC. Then they go for Bandai.
I only have one ET. 11 cm. Jeeg. I feel bad for magnet joint. I can put SRC or small SOC on Tamashi Stage act to do flying/jumping pose. But my 11 cm. Jeeg can't. His legs will drop down quickly because no friction on hip joint.

I think I'll put Great Mazinger in like this last night (Remove boomerang first). But I'm too lazy to do that.

GX-01 Mazinger Z GX-02 Great Mazinger GX-03 is ................ Why you expect next DX is Grendizer ? Well, a combiner that at a DX size that doesn't combine would be almost like an SRC, but bigger and way more expensive. Yeah, it will show the cool inside details, but I highly doubt Bandai will even try to make it a full combiner. Maybe... But that aside, Grendizer is way more popular than Combattler and Voltes combined. Plus, it would complete the classic trio of Nagai Super Robots. }D Ummm. I don't think so Maz. Combiner with inner frameLook at MG S and EX-S Gundam from 2002-2003 www.dalong.net/review/mg/m55/m55_p.htmwww.dalong.net/review/mg/m60/m60_p.htmTheir inner frame are not perfect but their transformation are more complex than Combattler V. Then look at MG Rezel from 2010 www.dalong.net/review/mg/m138/m138_p.htmHe is not a combiner but he has complex transformation esp. his body part. And his inner frame is perfect. If they step up from 20 cm. MG size to 30+ cm. DX SOC size. with 2015 technology and add Dicast to avoid fragile part. It's not impossible to make DX combine Combattler V. Only difficult if they want to make 100% accurate inner frame from the old design. Price
If they release Grendizer people will ask him taller than Great. With that size and all 4 Spazers how much he cost ? If they release Combattler V ,Bandai can simply ignore scale and make him the same size as Great Mazinger (Which better scale to SOC Daimos) He'll cost cheaper than full set Grendizer. PopularityI see Combattler V appear in most SRW game, much more than Grendizer. I don't think Grendizer > Combattler + Voltes.

From 18,000 yen to 23,760 yen. We will not see re-release original color from Bandai again.

Due to inflation of money Retail price for old SOC will be too cheap Today. SOC Mazinger Angels were 3500 yen Getter Dragon was 6000 yen other two were 5500 yen. Today SRC Great Mazinger is 4500 yen SRC Getter-1 is 6500 yen.
Bandai may not want to increase retail price. They repaint them and sell it more expensive instead. We may not see re-release old SOC in the future again.

Thanks for help but I never see original Lightan I have no idea about his height. Did palm action Orguss transform perfectly or need part swap ?

Bandai usually list inaccurate height for their products. For example they said all S.H.Figuarts are 140 mm. Gold's reviews are great because he usually put a ruler beside the toys but not all. Can Anyone told me how tall these robot are ? ( Inch or cm. is perfect but may compare size to other ) Sorry! some may not "Gokin". 1. SOC Gold lightan (Same as SRC Mazinger or as tall as SRC Grendizer ?) 2. SRC GGG ( As tall as SRC Grendizer ?) 3. Palm action Orguss (Megahouse said 9 cm. Can they made perfect transformation in that small size ?) www.1999.co.jp/eng/100554694. Mechanic collection Mazinger (Same size as SOC Mazinger or as tall as SOC Raideen/old Getter dragon ?) www.1999.co.jp/eng/10016592There are many Mechanic collection Great, Getter 1 ,Reideen Are they the same size ?

^ ^ ^ Don't underestimate Bandai SOC team. If original transformation need Anime Magic, they would not follow it. SOC Daimos is a good example. if they do original transformation Daimos will have big head ,small body and big lower legs. Then they move the arms to lower leg , no legs retraction and have a big Tranzer head in the chest. and turn out good in both form. I think Ryu series can do better symmetrical docking than Takara. if they detach one knee joint they can lift the arms to the front at shoulder joint in combine form. For Volfogg it can't be help
