Here is a glimpse of how the upcoming reissue of Dancouga would be like: Source: Description as below:超合金魂ダンクーガ(リニューアルバージョン) 頭部&肩が変わってる! 色も違う!Translation:Soul of Chogokin Dancouga (Renewal version) Head & shoulder has been modified! The color is also different!More details will be revealed soon. I assume it will be labeled as GX-13R (or something like that) like Baikanfu. I am so excited for this one and anticipate the changes too! I think this will be a December release, seeing how Bandai's toys' announcements have already been announced all the way up to October now.

Im going to guess more diecast. And werent there issues with hip joints? Maybe that will be addressed too?
Baikanfu and Dancouga... Maybe they are noticing Sentinel encroaching on their territory? Hey Bandai, you just worry about addressing Hot Toys advancement! Deal with them harshly by adding them damaged parts accessories in your upcoming SOCs... Perhaps FINALLY SOC Iron Man!?!? Preferably Mark V for me....
Meanwhile, 5Prostudio is rising...although small now, if left alone they can also become an issue. Haha i love free market.

I just hope that the ratchets don't feel like a decades old toy and feels less fumbly than the original release.
I remember the Kumastyle review when he was trying to get Dancouga to use the Daigun.

I hope this mold gets a major overhaul. This SOC didn't age well.

They would need to fix, how the eagle attaches in combined mode, the hip joints need some tweaking, more articulation for the two feet robots, a hand that can hold that gun confidently and a sword that does not tarnish.

I hope this mold gets a major overhaul. This SOC didn't age well. Honestly, they should just start from scratch and make a totally new figure instead of just retooling here and there. Give us the Dancouga you couldn't back then Bandai!

Give us the Dancouga you couldn't back then Bandai! Yeah, I agree. Given what they did with SOC Voltron and Megazord Bandai should give the Sentinel Dancouga a run for its money with today's modern engineering. We all know Bandai can do it. Do Dancouga some justice Bandai!!!

Renewal Daimos can't be too far behind....I cant wait for that one. Weirdly and sadly Daimos wasn't on the voting list. Remember Dancouga and Baikanfu were voted on by fans from a list of proposed re-issues that Bandai put up. The list was Baikanfu, Dancouga, God Mars, Ideon, and I think GX-50 Combatler V. (I may be missing one). Daimos wasn't an option. Which makes me think that if they do do a new Daimos it would be a completely new full re-engineer. One of the biggest disapointments of the SOC is that the truck cab is one piece to the truck itself and has no articulation. Something that the classic DX did have. I'm guessing they view it as one that would need more than a "refresher" in terms of changes. That fuzzy pic of Dancouga looks good. Is the cockpit still transparent? That was always one thing the SOC had over the Sentinel. The clear red windows instead of simply painted on ones. (And yes I know thats a subjective opinion, some prefer the painted look vs the clear.) I think I am looking forward to this guy more than Baikanfu. Whiel I have always wanted a Baikanfu, I've been much more in a mood for massive chunky combiners lately and Dancouga scratches that itch.

Ohhhh.... I always wanted Dancouga. I do hope they do a renewal of God Mars. God Mars would be an easy renewal. Their really isn't alot of room to improve or re-engineer. Yeah something resembling knees would be nice. But not really an option given the chunky blockiness of the robot design. And he doesn't really have flaws or seem dated. At least not compared to Daimos or Dancouga.

I would like to see a new dancouga from bandai done from scratch, since this mold originally came out in 2002? Man, Bandai has come a long way since then. So while a modified version of GX-13 is neat, I would much rather see a brand new toy.
