Do you know how many Miku Variations Bandai can remake ? Shshsh don't give bandai any ideas. zozo-mag You think they didn't plan yet ? Snow Miku for Winter/X-mas. Racing Miku for Summer. and Pink Miku as TWE.

in short, we matter to Bandai more then before. keep voting with your dollar. so if you want something cool, keep ignoring this crap Bandai chogokin brand manager is experimenting with and do buy up cool license toys from sentinel and ET. The soul of Chogokin line is a premium product.. its an expensive line. think how much they will earn if they sold a hot product like GX-31 for example, by thousands or even hundreds WORLDWIDE priced at lemme say.. 10,000 to 20,000 yen average vs a hello kitty, franky or tower of the sun stuff no one outside japan cares about. Will bandai dare discontinuing or closing the SOC line? does thier pride will allow, giving thier already established super robot maker no.1 spot to ET or Sentinel? Its a big deal... really.

think how much they will earn if they sold a hot product like GX-31 for example They would sell nothing worth bragging or even talking about. The people in the west who even know what Voltes V is, let alone care about it, let alone would spend 200 dollars on the GX-31, are so few that it would never be worth Bandai's time or effort to promote it outside of Japan. Anyone who thinks the SOC line is something that would thrive in North America is severely overestimating the market. hehehe.. did i say solely North america? there are much stiffer competition with japanese anime against american brand of cartoons eversince. Ofcourse majority of japanese-made cartoons wouldnt thrive there much.. moreso old school robot animes. Everybody knows that. North Am is not the World. SOC sales do not come there only. U have to consider those coming from Asia, Middle East and Europe.

There will be an easy way to tell when Bandai starts factoring North America into the SOC line. They will release a SOC perfect transformation Daizyujin. In packaging that references Power Rangers.

there must b a license issue, cause that would b a huge hit. i know few members here whod get atleast two.
also, Years ago Bandai rep was discussing howd they want to release lion voltron soc so bad. but its blocked by those you know who a holes. i heard its virtually done with blue prints and engineering years ago...now perhaps just sitting somewhere in dusty wherehouse
even decades ago global market has become increasingly important like everythingelse. Obviously Bandai is not an exception. and those who knows and loves soc globally is not a small minority.. since chogokin is a premium flagship line, yes the potential market as a whole SOC is indeed tiny. it never was meant tobe mass toysrus consumption anyway. but out of that market, global takes lions share id like to think. and if so, then we do matter to Bandai.
to make this goofy character that has nothing to do with anything with chogokin as a chgokin character is indeed yet another mistep in Bandai Chogokin line. the current chogokin brand manager has no concept of what this market wants. he's deaf and blind to it.
btw. this thing is on preo at AE for $50. the release of voltes is already soldout at AE..

Ok that thing is just astonishingly creepy. An under aged schoolgirl pop star that turns into some sort of goat? Who came up with this thing? The innapropriate and illegal fetish board at /4chan? Been there, openly and outrageously insane site. lol This chogo-loid figure was meant for young fans of the character, since theyll have cash to burn for it. zozo-mag

Jeez, I get the majority of the people here are older collectors, but it's pretty close minded to just call anyone who might like Miku in general a pedophile just because they collect things other than gokin. Is this release out of left field and no one expected it? Yea, but there's no need to start jumping to conclusions. It's a big lawn, there is room for everyone.

WE ARE SPEAKING OF THE SITE NOT THIS TOY!! THAT SITE HOST CARTOONS OF FEMALE ADOLESCENTS WITH MALE GENITALS AND CHILDEN ENGAGING IN ORGIES IS WHAT I CALL PEDOPHILE MATERIAL.AND ITS RAMPANT ON PARTS OF THAT SITE. Someone said the toy LOOKS as if it was from that site,I DISAGREE.But in linking to it I find that kinda material.Sorry but grown men who view and collect figures of children in bondage acts who look eleven ,are a sick ticket.FANTASY,TOYS OR NOT.ITS A SHAME in collecting Robots I have to rub shoulders with these losers,and have to buy toys from stores that sell this crap,but this is a part of Japanese culture that is very sick.
