I tried handwriting the text from the image in google translator, aaaaand....it's complete gibberish.
From what I gather, it's just a repaint though.

Awesome news! My all time fave SOC! I hope they improve the leg panels though since mine developed cracks in the plastic panels over time through repeated handling.

So this is just a re-release, not a re-tooling? Meh, it's just a recolor.
"Soul of Chogokin Gamba star Buster alloy color ver."
I'd rather see a new mold for such an old toy.

I'm pretty psyched for this. Gunbuster is and will probably always be my favorite anime, I watch it a couple of times every year and It's always going to have a special place in my heart.I bought mine in 2006, yet it's sat in my closet unopened all these years. I thought I would wait until I felt like I deserved to open him up, which was originally supposed to be when I graduated college. I graduated, yet still didn't feel like I was worthy.It's a corny reason, but the show really is special to me. Maybe I can finally open mine up. I f**king love Gunbuster.

No new SOC... disappointed. But still great news to anyone who miss it last time.

Due to inflation of money Retail price for old SOC will be too cheap Today. SOC Mazinger Angels were 3500 yen Getter Dragon was 6000 yen other two were 5500 yen. Today SRC Great Mazinger is 4500 yen SRC Getter-1 is 6500 yen.
Bandai may not want to increase retail price. They repaint them and sell it more expensive instead. We may not see re-release old SOC in the future again.

You can tell that this one will be all painted, the last one was mostly just colored plastic.

If I had to venture a guess, we can expect this repaint to be along the lines of the SRC colored Gunbuster....
I wonder if they will add anything new? We got a new display base with Daitarn 3 R, so I'm hoping there will be something new to make the most out of the likely higher SRP compared to the first release.

Wild guess: it will be a recolor version only (not re-tool), based on final episode of Gunbuster in BW color scheme.

Yeah the original is the blue and yellow. This should be a monochrome color I think.
I'm sure it will be around $200ish like the other SOC re-releases.

Really cool news... I can now display one in bot and other in the ships mode. Managed to get an original sometime ago and enjoyed the engineering aesthetics of this bot, still need to watch the anime for this. Hopefully, it'll have more than just a paint app done to the it. Would be great to see new improvements to the joint works particularly around the feet and hip areas.
