/sigh! Yeah the fact that we get all three ships with Getter 1 is an almost certain tip off of no Planned Getter 2 or 3, isn't it? Pretty much. More reason for me not to jump in as I already have all the ships. The D.C. line looks great. But I don't understand the limited articulation mentality...on a neck joint?! Almost regret buying Mazinger Z, though nice to have at least one. The Getter 1 looks great too, especially the head with big eyes. Very anime accurate. But its a disppointment seeing Getter 2 & 3 is very unlikely to come afterwards. Very mix feelings about this new line of SOC.

I just didn't feel the need. And became completely disinterested when I learned of the new ones articulation.

I dont understand why Bandai cut corners on such important aspect of a collactable figure... Its subject character, sculpt, articulation engineering, paint, and material......All of These 6 points are critical. Box art and accesories bit less important to me personally. Just charge bit more..would $20 more cover SRC quality articulation?
Which one of us wouldnt pay that for a better articulation?

Designing a more sophisticated articulation is probably too expensive/ not worth the time. Copying the SRC system and upscaling it probably wouldnt work as the weight issues would be more prominent and turn into a floppy mess even faster than the SRCs.I take that back, didn't realize its the same scale as SRCs basically. Pretty sure they just don't want to bother with improving articulation in general.

Hard to understand since they made a big deal out of this D.C. line as a new generation of the standard SOC figures. Yet turned out lacking in many ways, aside the nice slender look.

Yeah GX-71 is bigger than the SRC Maz Z, but it's not bigger or heavier than many many SRC's that have far superior jointing. The SOC Mazingers largely were superior over the SRC's for size, metal content, accessories and gimmicks and features. Firing rocket punches. Full all inclusive weaponry in the box. GX-71 is an SRC, but without the articulation or effects parts. So remind me why is it twice the price of a corresponding SRC? I fear Getter 1 will be the same?

How do you think they compare to GX-06? No doubt the new one has the upper hand on the looks. And GX-06 is no engineering marvel either. Very basic joints and some magnet connections. But if the DC ver. has no Getter 2 & 3, then I would still prefer GX-06 over this. Having the other 2 robots and the swappable parts made a huge difference.

Getting confusing cause 71 is Voltron. 70 is the the Mazinger Z.

I believe if you buy both GX73 and GX74 together, you get these 3 "boxes"...

i really dont like these stupid move Bandai is doing lately, they just force you to buy by including exclusive with each release
for me they are not worth it, and im still thinking about getting the GX-73 and the GX-74, i honestly thought the GX-70 will give more but its just another mazinger z (a good looking mazinger lol)

I like the boxes but to buy them all together when they are released at different times isn't possible. I doubt that any store will be able to fill that requirement and by then inflation will have set in. If they are exclusives I'm game for a reasonable price.
Honestly though they should have included those with the purchase. Shouldn't be exclusive or otherwise. Exclusive is that working base!!

All these new D.C SOC's are figures based on the movies, that's the whole point of these and there weren't that many movies made, these are not going to be an ongoing SOC trend nor are they going to completely re-do all the Dynamic SOC's in this style.
There was:
Mazinger vs Devilman (Mazinger done, Devilman done) Mazinger vs Ankoku Daishogun (Mazinger done, Ankoku TBD) Great Mazinger vs Getter Robo (Great Mazinger done, Getter Robo done) Great Mazinger vs Getter Robo G (Great Mazinger done, Getter Robo G TBD) Grendizer vs Great Mazinger (Grendizer TBD, Great Mazinger done) Grendizer, Getter Robo G, Great Mazinger vs Dragonsauru. (Grendizer TBD, Getter Robo G TBD, Great Mazinger done, Dragonsaurus pipe dream lol).
So technically the only DC SOC's left are Getter Dragon, Grendizer, Ankoku (if a SOC is made), and hopefully some kind of Dragonsaurus. Don't expect the rest of the Getters being made besides 1 and Dragon since they made little to no appearance in these movies.
