guys... there is a big problem here!! look at the upper part of the forarm that is painted in silver!! that part should be painted in dark blue the way the GX-03 was!! because that is how combattler V in Anime looks like!! the older colored prototypes didn't have that issue though!! I wonder why they suddenly decided to do this thank goodness for that! now I have a reason not to buy it :-) (i am not being sarcastic..but I hope bandai will "correct" that "mistake"...) Yeah you'll get it when you see that the going price is $125 shipped ;D

This would have been so much cooler if they had released it in that light blue, Godaikin-stickered scheme that was shown a long while back. If they were going to make a redo/quasi-reissue, they should have made the changes more drastic (i.e., including the new paint scheme). That would have been killer!

Thanks Gt3ian. Wow, love the redesigned knee and shoulder joints. But I gotta say I'm missing the old-style SOC "framed" box designs. They sort of give a sense of "uniformity" for me. Gold

I'm glad I have one on pre-order! Now, I'll have to think about what to do with the GX-03...

Hi all,
I am looking forward to getting GX-50 soon. Thanks for all the detailed photos.
I wish that I can get the Nanbarra Connection base; as I was planning to put the GX-03 vehicles in launch mode.
Cheers,
70's Super Robot fan

It seems that the Bandai SOCs are getting smaller in size, but the engineering advances they are making - as can be seen above in the GX-50 photos - almost mkes up for that. I am not a fan of Combattler, but just checking out the photos of the new re-design, ALMOST makes me want to play with one. Almost......

Hopefully the hips have a nice full range of motion otherwise all that nice knee articulation is pretty much pointless.

No, it's actually a bit larger than GX-03.
