Curious to see how much (if any) different the High Dream Gokin will be compared to the Bandai SOC. The sculpt looks slighty better. Can the wallet take another beating if High Dream starts to issue a complete line of die-cast robots? Mazigner, Great Mazinger, etc.?

Hi Hlpro!
What are the plans for this new line of toys?
Will you include the spazer at some point in the future? What are the other characters of this line up?
Thanks!

I'm eager to see more of this line. It looks pretty great even unpainted. seriously that 'posed rocket punch" thing is ugly and Yamato is the only allowed to use that travesty in their toys. Am I the only person here who actually likes that design? I think it looks pretty neat.

It looks neat but personally I'm happy with my GX04S, so I doubt I'll go for another similar Grendizer. Should be interesting to see what will be coming next in line...

Actualy im honnestly not that big of a fan about the sculpt of the gx-04 and im looking at replacing him with this model who will give a much better posing possibility and the sculpt seems for my taste better looking.

I guess this answers what's planned next for the line! It shows how much metal content is present, as well. Looks quite satisfying.

Very nice but I still prefer my GX-04S I don't really like it when they slim Grendizer down and so far Bandai is the only one who has gotten the face right. But there was some cool looking stuff like the busts.

Well, I'm getting it and if Mazinger Z is made, I'm getting like five of them! I do like the Screw Crusher Punch "rocket propulsion" effect, and if they make it with translucent material, it would look even better!
hlpro, how much are these beauties going to sell for (estimated price of course), and more importantly, when are we going to be able to buy them???

I'll definately be keeping an eye on this. This picture shows the metal content, if any of you haven't seen it yet: www.emcorner.it/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/f_13m_2013033.jpg

That is one key element about High-Dream (hlpro), they talk to customer. Have you ever saw a guy from Bandai presenting something to fan? I said Bandai but it could be any BIG company.
With High-Dream, I feel like I'm important for them. They make product for profit, for sure, but also a product that will please me. And as the shop gets bigger, he still stay in contact with the customer.
He's a great guy!

High-Dream (hlpro) make great products, many even better than a lot of way bigger companies put out. And it is true, they are awesome with their customers. The only thing that keeps me from being able to get more of their stuff is the limited amount of distributors I can purchase it from. It would be sweet if High-Dream could sell directly to us via internet/online. That would definitely rule!!!

hehe, thanks for the support , it is highly appreciated. Our product are mainly distributed in Europe, certainly because most of our product since about 10 years are about robots by go nagai, and they are very popular in Italy, France and spain, as much as in Japan. So I guess you are located in USA or Canada, so for America at this moment, the best is to contact PBM Express USA or Evolution DMS (Canada), they will let you know better where to find our product.
