I'm surprised That we didn't see Mazinkaiser or Gurren Lagann in the SoC line yet. Licence issues ??

How the f**k can Bandai of all companies be having licencing issues with Mazinkaiser when Kotobukiya and Sentinel got it? Not to mention the SRC exists. I guess Bandai has no faith in Kaiser being profitable...

Licence issues ?? not at all bro Bandai and Go Nagai have a decent business relationship it will be easy to get any Nagais robot license i really dont know how Bandai think or what are they doing, maybe the want to do the ultimate milking for every milkabel (new word lol) SRC out there, i dont think they will pull the blog on the SOC line not yet any way

I'm just really surprised. I mean what are they waiting for? Mazinkaiser is popular and the SRC ver. (I know it's not the best one) but was a big hit.

I'm just really surprised. I mean what are they waiting for? Mazinkaiser is popular and the SRC ver. (I know it's not the best one) but was a big hit. It's probably a matter of scaling and price point. A Maz alongside GX-01 would be larger and expensive than is ideal, for what is now their middle price point. The Maz's have become sort of the centerpiece for their SRC line, at a decent SOC comparable size. There really isn't much in addition they can offer via regular SOC's for what would need to be the price. Since the price would be high due to the size increase, they may feel they are better off jumping straight to the high end DX SOC version. The Regular SOC's more and more seem to be targeting gimmicky combines or transformers with extremely complex engineering.

You have a good point here. Like you said I noticed that all the latest releases was all about combined robots etc.. I'm ok with that and happy as long as they keep making more.

i dont see that
it wont be a problem if they do the same SRC sculpt only make it bigger for the SOC, i feel that Bandai dont want to do a project without been %1000 sure it will be profitable thats why they kill us with Mazinger Repaints

I'd love the idea of SRC coming out with a rendition of God Mars or even Dancouga, or rather poseable non transformable Combiner Mechs that don't really get that much representation.

A big wish: keep Mazinger to a bare minimum. There is a HUGE back catalog of robots just waiting to be immortalized in toy form. They've already done 3 super sentai robota so, BANDAI, please continue this. And I cannot stress enough...MEKANDA!!!

me too i didn't attack your taste its just i find odd when you didn't watch the show and yet you judge it its exactly like judging a book by its title in reality Golion and Dairigger XV (Vehicle Voltron) are not related at all but WEP decided to make Dairigger XV a Voltron sequel that's why every one with a Voltron figure want to get Dairigger XV figure but since i never liked the Dairigger XV i don't find it a must for me, and Albegas is also not related to them at all its just dubbing, editing and milking Voltron success they call that the nostalgia factor but sometimes you get something you never watched or know just because it have an awesome design, for me that was Voltes V and Getter Robo i watched Voltes v a while before Bandai did the 40th anniversary like Voltron Bismarck is under WEP copyrights and they are holding it, i remember back in the day there was a video game for Bismarck but somehow the project got shutdown, most of the classic robots / super robot shows didn't get a modern release but that doesn't mean they are awful by any chance and they are still remembered till this day you think Asia a small region ? one of the reason Voltes V 40th anniversary got a reissue is Asia to be specific Philippine, the collectors there bought it by 3 units per person that's an insane demand on a figure, Astroganger is not only famous in Asia its Also famous in Europe specially Italy just like Gattaiger its a knowing fact for Japanese people Japan always come first but still they listen to other customers ideas, and from what i understand most of those orders you are talking about are for the Japanese stores to sell over seas and its not necessary that a successful product get a multiple production runs, look to the DX Mazinger for example combining robots always sell out well, look to God Sigma its not a famous robot but it got a classic design and its a combining robot so that will sell by default knowing the quality of Bandai SOC but the GX-69 Goldymarg didn't sell well you can get for $100 and he is related to GaoGaiGar same question again did you watch the show ? they actually had to build Zanda Cross so that's an idea, the cockpit is in his chest does open in the Damachii version but its not detailed at all like the show so here is another idea, also he have some laser shooting guns in his stomach so that's another idea and that's me talking im sure Bandai will have more to give if they decide to do it if you want to continue this discussion lets go to the thread i mentioned in my earlier post so we dont spam this thread and keep it on topic Judging a book by its title or cover is exactly how I go about collecting these Japanese Super Robots and the SoC line. I have no nostalgia for any of these robot except for Voltron which isn't even a SoC. Don't really care if you find me shallow or anything but the premise of how I collect differs dramatically from you and a lot of others. I am not doing this to collect figures that I missed out as a child. Not collecting these because I am a completionist and needs to complete an entire line. I don't collect in that fashion at all. I buy what I enjoy looking at. In order to spark my interest, the subject has to look good and good is subjective to my taste. Pretty much each and every SoC I've own, I have little to no knowledge or background of it when I purchased them. The Tobikage trio is the best example. To this day, I have not ever seen a Tobikage cartoon episode. Nor do I care too. But I like transforming robots. So they appeal to me. And aesthetically there is something to their design that I really like. Likewise, Dancouga. I don't own any Dancouga figure. Wanted the SoC but always found it too expensive for a figure that I don't know about. I got the Sentinel Blackwing recent purely on how good it looks to me. In terms of SoC's I got about 20 of them. Almost 1/3 of the release, if not including the variant releases. I've never felt that it's entirely necessary to know about a SR in order to enjoy it. My point on the vinyl Astroganger is simple, if it's such a successful product and a big time money maker, you would like to think they would continue to make much more of it. I don't know where you are from, so your region is big. Big region buying out a small factory run product isn't surprising. I am 37, Chinese from Hong Kong living here in the Bay Area now. I know nothing about Astroganger and have zero interest in any of its merchandise. Shall Bandai make a SoC of this character, it'll be an easy skip.

That be me too.
The only anime i watched faithfully is Mazinger and Getter. But i do collect lot of different robot charactors i dont really know. I only casually watched Macross and Voltron but i love their design! I also love Dougram and Votoms robot charactors but i dont particularly like its anime.
So I guess im also a collector who buys whatever fancies me....

like i said we like different things, for me i have this love for robots figures since i was a kid, in this modern time its nostalgia then the design of the figure and i guess most collectors are like me im also not interested in all of the SOC line its less than 20 figures that i have interest in, but in here you are contradicting yourself you said you collect whats look good to your taste but in the next sentence you said the SOC Dancouga is too expensive for a figure you don't know about, which is odd since you collect good looking figures for your personal taste, the thing is you cant judge on a figure specially transforming ones until you watch the anime, how you can tell if the transformation is anime accurate or not how you can tell that the figure it self is anime accurate or not ? for example look to the GX-31 Voltes V which had an anime accurate transformation but its not the same case with the GX-43 Daimos, not to mention you are missing a good shows and there is nothing wrong in watching classic super robots anime its by far better than most t.v shows these days some companies including HL Pro don't reissue simple as that, no matter how much success the product is they want it to be an exclusive, also you have Fewture the only figure that got a reissue is Juohmaru and till today we are not sure if its a regular reissue which will be a first Fewture, or there is something new about this release with Astroganger it was nostalgia all over for most people i know, some don't even collect Vinyl or statues but they got it any how for me i skipped it because of the QCs and i dont collect Vinyl since they are hard to take care of in my region im from the Middle East by the way if Bandai did AstroGanger it will be a Must for me

And anime accuracy is not important to me. Especially for old cartoons, which I have no interest in watching. I get the appreciation for old classical stuff but it isn't for me. Anime accuracy for old anime doesn't do anything for me as I don't like old anime drawings. Why does it matter if the transformation sequence match the tv show? I don't get this. As long as I follow the directions and know how to transform the figure correctly, that all I need. Perhaps it's cause I'm primarily a Transfomers collector, and most of the figures have transformation sequences that has nothing to do with the cartoon counterpart. To me it's nothing more than icing on the cake if transformation matches the anime, simply a little something extra for the dedicated fans. In contradicting myself, that would be true if the only things I collect are Japanese super robots. But there are simply many more other things I rather buy and spend my money on instead of the SoC Dancouga. Just because I like the look, doesn't mean it's an automatic purchase. Prices is also a factor especially since I have options. Price would be a smaller factor if all I collected are chogokins. I almost purchased the Sentinel Dancouga too when HLJ had the sale and I like the Sentinel one better anyway but money was spent buying Transformers and 3P Transformers. Now Transfomers, those I am nostalgic for.
