Yes, I agree it will be widely available, but I'll try to get it from HLJ (they have the best price for me) and for some reason HLJ POs tend to sold out really fast. Also, I'm happy to see there are many of us asking for toku stuff! Assuming this is not like Metal Builds or DX Chogokin Macross-series, this should be readily available. I'd also consider Amazon Japan, CD Japan, AmiAmi...

Already have the classic popy version, World Scope of both 17 & 18, Action Toys (TS-01 and TS-17) and (TS-18). This Chogokin version of Daitetsujin-17 is close in heights with Popy version. And I tend to agreed with some other collectors that the Action Toys version (TS-01) looks better (and taller). Bandai should do Mekander Robo ( I have the evolution toys version).

Yes to all of the above. Mekanda would be amazing. So would Daibaron.

How many people PO'd or plan to PO GX101? Surprised to see it sold out in most Japan sites already. Still available in US.

I am. Glad it's something other than a Mazinger or a Honeycomb-face.

I’m passing for “now.” Action Toys ones are PERFECT as far as proportion goes. P E R F E C T! But I alas…. I saw Action Toys 17 had loose ankle issue according to ToysMinds’ YT review….so I pass on that one too.

Seems bandai decided to release some tokusatsu mechas finally. I ordered the GX101. (I am not sure if I should). I do like the mecha version more than the tokusatsu look. I bought both Action Toys: 17 and 18 and are fairly happy with it. 17 is about 19cm tall and the Bandai release will also be roughly the same size. I am not too fuss on electronic gimmicks. Action Toys 18 really surprised me by the amount of diecast in it. very heavy. Maybe because it is simple figure as it does not need to transform. I watched the Toys Daily review of Action Toys 17. The reviewer was generally happy with the figure given the price point. He was very surprised by the details on the mini vehicles and their paint work (more favorable than Bandai). He would had prefer the screw holes were covered up. (Hong Kong toy collectors are super fussy). But during the show, viewers did call in about arms and legs breaking. The reviewer could not comment on that as it did not happen on his copy. I did not experience any problems on my unit. (My only suggestions would be for 18 to have ratcheted universal joint at the thighs. It is only a ball and socket arrangement) One thing I did notice is that the GX101 does not show any pec movement (not sure if there is a butterfly joint). The action toys does have the butterfly joint.

If I have gotten the AT one would have probably passed this one.
