No Grendizer as of yet. Voltes V, on the other hand, is believed to be one of the figures in silhouette in the catalog that accompanies the first 3. So, it'll likely be released in the next batch...I'd estimate 1st Q 2004. I'm hoping for the Getter D team and Great Mazinger. Reideen should be out soon too...boy...these things are great  |

I've got the first 3 chogokin and they're pretty cool. I actually like the size, takes up less space which is a definite plus for me at the moment. Decent amount of diecast in there too.
I believe the next ones to be coming out are:
August: Mach Baron, Teacher Gantsu
October: Raideen
November: Getter 2
December: Combattler V
That's going on HLJ's future release list.

Mine just arrived today in a bashed up package. I have to return it to the post office. This completely sucks |

Ha, lucky all of you who already received theirs. Mine had to travel the world for the second time to reach me as Ol' Mazinger was too much for the Australian Customs! Apparently my seller forgot to declare he's a toy  as a result, he was returned to sender cos he had too much metal on him!  Well, at least now I know for sure he's mostly metal :-) |

Finally got mine about 2 hours before the big blackout happened.
It's too damned small. I never imagined it could be []that[/b] tiny! The quality is excellent, but I won't be buying more of these.

I just got mine today! Well, sure Im slightly dissapointed in the size. I knew from extensive research before slapping the $$ down that it was gonna be 90mm tall...but it didn't have the visual impact until I actually saw, held it in my hands. Well, my dissapointment quickly dissapeared as soon as I felt it's weight. Sure its small, but it has the right amount of diecast for its size! Remember: these guys are suppose to serve as a momento to the earlier 1970's versions. In the world of re- re- re-, these guys are pretty dead-on in terms of a replica. I mean, c'mon you even get both the shooting fists that fit both ways as well as the yellow breasts!!  I think we are so pre-occupied with wanting a re-lease of the original as an exact size / gimmick replica, we forget how cool these new-re-releases can be in 20 years time! Dont get me wrong. I would be the first one out the door if Bandai release a full size replica of the original POPY GA- releases, but I certainly don't reckon it will be around the $15-20US mark.. - my 2 cents. Cheers! |

Mine came in the mail today...
To me, they should have name these the SOC line since these truly capture the soul of the original chogokins, from the mini-catalogue, styrofoam inner box, the weightiness of the toy, the gimmicks...
I already place a second order to put away. Meanwhile, I'll have a lot of fun with these....
