Wow very nice design, looks like poseable too.. To bad i know nothing about this guy... So its a skip for me.. Or... Emm... Mmm... Gonna google it. Can somebody tell me how does their combine in the anime ? Does it involving some mech split in two, some mech turning upside down, some mech dissasembled n reasseMbled at other place n loads of extra parts leftovers ? All video link seems broken  |

Well from what i see in these pics, the third's body becomes legs, the second's legs become hands and its own hands go into the third's legs and there must also be rotating going on. Then the first fits on top. Extra parts for hands and possible taking one pair of wings off? That's all purely guess work :-P

Oh I think there's still a ton of Super Robots left to make, even from the 70's like Jeeg, Daikengo, Danguard, Ginguiser, Machine Blaster, Gakeen, etc. Sure some have been made by other companies but nothing beats a SOC version. As for the 80's there's even MORE Super Robots that fans want and haven't even been touched by Bandai or any company. So it's not from the lack of subject matter but a re-positioning of the SOC line. With the SRC line you basically have the lower end of the SOC price scale covered now which means you focus on the higher priced items which also tend to be much more complicated thus requiring more time to engineer. I'm thinking Bandai is going for a quarterly release with SOC's and filling in the empty time slots with the SRC line. Daioja is still coming and the SOC Facebook page stated their still working on it so it's not cancelled. Most of those are on the poll I made Chen,and some you named are made well to the point of not needing a SOC treatment,especially Ginguiser and Gakeen.Ginguiser Smash Box is one of the BEST diecast robot sets available.Im just saying thir arent that many needing to be made,25 TOPS robots of that era.Id like to see a nice GORG too,forgot to have him on my poll list. |

Well I'd argue that even if some of those robots have been made nothing beats a SOC. Not because of the diecast content or size or the amount of accessories but because SOC's have certain "style" that no one has replicated, they've come close but haven't reach that mark yet. Like the Yamato Danguard, an amazing piece and was my choice for TOTY but if there was a SOC version you can bet it would be that tiny step better. Not every SOC is a home run but on average they are the best you can get out there. Also just because a Gakeen was made doesn't mean there can't be another version of it from a different company. But even if you say the 70's are covered you still have the 80's which arguebly have even more iconic robots during that era then even the 70's. My point is there's still a ton left to do in the SOC line which had never been afraid to mix in new with old, from popular to designs that aren't in the top 25.

Imho, Bandai is pushing a lot to produce high quality and design, especially with Soc line, DX Chogokin (see what they improved on Macross VF V.2)... Through all SOC line releases, we can see they learned from their own mistakes and how enginering comes better and design more respectfull to the creators. Bandai has enough releases by the past they will re-made no matter it is allready out by another company (licence does matter ^__^) Will not be surprise by a SOC Jeeg (vs CM'S) or a Gakeen... What I am sure, I can bet on this... (easy bet), allmost Popy released will have their own rebirth... and they are plenty... A blast form the past : |

Colors look a bit plasticky individually but combined it look AWESOME!!
One thing: the read one looks like it's going to need a lot of parts being taken off... but I guess Bandai will probably make it so that you can have the kibble hanging in the back too.

"Three body coalescence agents Dako Butler Threader Aoi, completely transformed without replacement technology combine amazing!"
To me this sounds like Daioja will have perfect transformation. How awesome would that be if it were true?

I'm really glad we finally get an update about this item, it's been literally months since anything about it came out. But after browisng the SOC FB page, I don't see the Crusader ship parts. I hope it's not getting dropped from the set. Gold |

Heheh... this can give God Sigma a run for its money... perfectly proportioned! I wonder if there's a picture that shows the proportion of each component against each other. They should be about the same size, right?
Any pricing announcement yet?
