From Taghobby.com I'm personally hoping it's a new sculpt but I think most likely it will be just a recolor/repaint. Man the SOC /SRC reveals are a bit weak this time no? Oh, and just to clarify, the "40th Anniv" is for the Chogokin line, and not Voltes' 40th Anniversary, we're still 3 years away from that one. Edit: It seems we're getting repaints of Gx01R+ and Aphrodite A as well?! I edited the title. Gold

Sweet. I'm loving all the repaints and reissues since I am still building my SoC collection. Hopefully it's not super limited and expensive.

Nice! We'll see how fast and how low the scalpers will try to unload their GX-31/31V hoard when this new one hits the fan!

I hope is DX... but also could be just repaint SOC or even a SRC.

I hope it's a new DX mold!!!
Second chance for me - I just don't want to pay the crazy aftermarket prices nowadays. If it's a reissue, I hope it's GX31V with the original's coloring since GX31V has better and improved joints. I hope GX50 is reissued next!

It'll be a SOC. Recolor or Reissue. Bandai's trying to sell those new Virsago Action Stands, see? Srsly, tho. Remember those pics of the upcoming Virsago Action Stands in last year's toy fair or so? The SoCs they were showing it off with have been trickling out. Daitarn's released, while Trider, Daltanious, and Godmars are upcoming. The other SoCs that were shown on the virsago-stand are Voltes V, Daimos, Combattler and God Sigma. I think even Zambot was shown with the stands.

Good news for those of us who want to pick up those SoCs but don't want to pay the scalper aftermarket prices!
Bad news for those of us who keep the boxes but are running out of space to put them :x

Definitely looking forward to it. However, if its just a straight repaint, then its really lame.

They also had a picture of a Mazinger and one of the Mazinger girl robots. Are those being reissued?

Well... I really, really hope Bandai puts together a Camp Big Falcon base for this guy. Come on, Bandai! With this release, this officially marks Voltes as the second Super Robot with the most number of releases/reissues in the SOC line outside of the Mazinger property. Gold

Will finally be able to pick up GX-50 Combattler.

I think its a remold ala combattler. If it was a recolor they'd go ahead an show it I think.

Good... The GX31 and GX31V hip joints were really flimsy...
