April is good, it will be my birthday ^__^
(and I will hold some monney to have this expensive one).
Regarding the shape, it seems to be a very nice enginering.
Shell recovering every parts ; it's so close to an anime model sheet now.
IMHO, it's a new step in SOC line (I still not have GX-60....),

Cool display diorama too, wish I could have a set up like that. That doesn't seem to be really difficult to replicate... I'm sure that there will be a lot of handyman around (where I live) that can be commissioned for a reasonable price. I'll see to that. EDIT: I just realized that you need to have 2 sets to display them like that  Maybe the God Sigma set can replace the uncombined set ;D |

The Gattai on this is really incredible,Im guessing by looking at the toy itself that it IS actually done the same way.The parts that had me worried were the arms of red robot going straight inside his chest,the first part of combining in the anime,wonder how SOC does it?,maybe you take off the firearms and fists?,the actual anime doesnt show the whole arm going in anyhow,its sort of cut in the scene and just shows part of arms going in.

Man, I can't wait to get this. Very anime accurate looking and makes the Clover toy look like garbage. I just hope Bandai does a Tryder after this piece.

Im gonna say Tryder will definately be next or the one after,the only reason it may not be next is because of similarity to Daioja.I really hope its next though,why Tryder isnt already a SOC is puzzzling!!

hi, guys you have any rumors for gx62, is rumored to be the last. Yeah right! Where did that rumour come from!!! SOC line is at it's highest peak,especially from Daltanious,God Sigma and Daioja,the line is at its highest popularity now.No way its the last.Thats alot of crap.If it was true there would be a lot of very unhappy collectors,and end of collecting for some,who only collect SOC.I tell ya a rumour is exactly what it is.This awful new SRC line is not gonna cut it,no combiners,crappy choices for robots etc etc.People will always want more from the SOC line,when there is demand there is product.Bandai is much to smart to end the SOC line.But as I said earlier there arent a ton of 70s/80s robots left to do 15 tops},unless the reimagine ones done by other companies like Dangard,Mekanda,Jeeg etc etc.They could do a villains line in diecast,that would sell like hotcakes Im sure. |

I love the gx boys like you and I hope to do well also trider daikengo and others, but it is undeniable that bandai has a significant profit with gunpla and src gx while they are very expensive to design and print, and the revenue is low, then usually always know the future plans, now fumbling in the dark

Oh so this rumour is one of your own speculations?Should have said that my friend.I didn't know how much clout I could put into that rumour especially when it was your 3rd post anyhow.So please don't irritate others with such brash and pointed speculation,unless you can post the origin or article of such a rumour.Which in this case would be your own name as said origin,Id think.

I could care less if the SOC line goes away right now. Thw SRC line is turning out to be way better for consumers anyway. And they haven't put out any expensive crappy figures yet, unlike the SOC Reideen and GX-49. Sure, they may not have complex transformations and do not combine, but they dance around the SOCs when it comes to action poses and affordability. I'm lucky I can afford the SOCs, but this >$200 USD price tags for mostly plastic figures is getting old imo...

SOC will never stop, atleast not in 10+ years, and SRC will always keeps going, just like how revoltech still holding on. BANDAI is not some idiot company who stops making money from the line they were making it with, thats just pure idiotic.

I'm lucky I can afford the SOCs, but this >$200 USD price tags for mostly plastic figures is getting old imo... }D Well SRC is good for you then!But as for me, I can afford SOC and they are not cheap plastic figures of robots I care absolutely nothing about.So both lines cater to different people.Sure if SRC came out with some robots I actually care about like the older ones,Id buy them all up,but after God Reideen the line took a turn for the worse,who cares about those super sentai modern boring robots?not me.If they put out SOC counterparts in the SRC line like they started to, Id buy both lines .But if they continue looking like Power Rangers miniature versions of robots I can get at Walmart,no thanks.As for bad SOCs fine dont buy those,I dont like every SOC either,just ones that fit into my area of robots with anime between 1972 and 1984.For the most part SOC is a good line,cant say that for SRC for me anyhow,the choices of robots suck. Come on, would we rather have a nice metal combining Daltanious,or Daioja or some corny modern looking bunch of cars stuck together like a cheap transformer you can get at the supermarket for 9$,like most SRCs are starting to look like.And then pay more for plastic blue waves to enhance the already plastic non interesting mechs. Sorry but anything good and interesting costs $$$,if it is made well I dont care what it costs.Id rather spend 300$ on a great toy,than 50 on junk. Surely not every one buys a complete line for the sake of the line,they buy ones they like.If all one cares about is saving money and would rather pay something they don't necessarily like,why even collect? This hobby is actually inexpensive for me compared to my last one ,I came from collecting German WW2 uniforms with 5 digit price tags,robots at 2-300$ are welcome for me,anything cool and collectible of any value people will pay for,and frankly anything pricey is coveted more,just the way it is.Everything is in perspective,diecast is always wanted before plastic,leather before cotton etc etc.If SOCs were really cheap and of less quality,or made of plastic,they wouldnt be as lusted after, !!It's all about what kind of collection you want and what you like.But I cant see trading quality for quantity.Just collect new transformers then if you want to save a buck.And that's great if your 14 with a paper route,but this hobby is'nt geared toward kids,its an adult hobby with adult prices.I dont want SOC to go away,and have to degrade myself to collecting 3 inch plastic robots that Im not interested in.Id rather just be happy with what I have and stare at them! There is a reason why SOCs arent in department store toy aisles,just like there is a reason why transformers are.They are geared toward different age groups.I just dont like the thought of me buying my collection from a supermarket,and if cheaper toys infiltrate this hobby, made of plastic only,and becomes a trend,would most of us keep collecting?I dont want to be grabbing for my Voltes at the same time as a 9 year old at the toys tore,sorry!! Its late and Im rambling,but hopefully Iv'e made some type of point..I think. |

Bandai is just re-inventing the past the SRC line is the modern ST line from years ago while the SOC is the DX versions. Before Bandai could offer both in the same line but with current costs and the popularity of the SRC line they can produce figures that are less "popular" in the SRC with reasonable prices and higher volume in with line while still creating complex "expensive" designs with the SOC line. Obviously toys like Godsigma or the Yamato have expensive developmental costs with thinner profit margins but the fact that they had multiple re-issues of the same toy AND stores selling GX's like Godsignma at inflated prices show that the demand still surpasses supply. Franchises like Gundam will always be cash cows while other lines will be less so, if Bandai thought or wasn't making a profit with the SOC line they would either cancel the line or create less complex figures and have the SOC "name" sell the product for them. The fact that Bandai is creating Diaoja shows that the market is there otherwise they wouldn't be spending the development and tooling cost to sell a complex robot like Daitarn, Godsigms, or Daioja. Obviously not every GX is a home run but I have a feeling that Bandai makes enough of a profit on the line as a whole to keep it going.

I spoke of rumors not official news, however I disagree with those who say that the line gx is great in terms of earnings, I'm sorry this does not correspond to reality.
smooth continuation
