18 is a web exclusive, GX-101X. Pre-orders are up now.
They seem to be getting away from using styrofoam, at least for the smaller SOCs:

Wow daitetsujin 18! Very good price (I wonder how much die cast it will have). Too bad it a web exclusive, I hope the US release have a good price too...

GX-101X is not Tamashii Exclusive in the US. Good news for those who want to get it, don't need to fight. For me, I will wait until I get One Seven in hand first before I decide if I want to pair it.

Same for me, I will wait until I get One Seven in hand first before I decide if I want to pair it. Same for me. I bought the Action Toys release of both 17 and 18. I am not sure if I want to double dip. The Bandai 18 seems to have a more shiny finish than the Action Toys. But judging by the previous comparisons of the 17, I am suspecting Bandai to be smaller as well. The accessories are roughly the same.

Just got my Soul of Chogokin (GX-101) today. Comparison with GA-81 and Action Toys version. what do you think of it?,how is it? Look like they want to be upgrade to the original GA-81. in my opinion, die-cast portion of GX-101 is identical to where the die-cast of GA-81 (die-cast loaded for a small robot, it cost alot - $200+). GX-101 is slightly taller than the popy version. GX-101 has better articulation and light-up eyes (no firing hand or missle in chest). in my opinion, if you did not get the Action Toys version...GX-101 is your next choice.

So Action Toys version is better? Is it heavier than Action Toys version?

So Action Toys version is better? Is it heavier than Action Toys version? As you can see Chogokin version is 435 grams while ActionToys is 577 grams. Articulation for me is almost identical for both. The reason I prefer ActionToys is it's bigger while the Chogokin version is smaller but has the light and sound effect (eyes). Same reason I was disappointed with Chogokin version of Danguard Ace (it look great and highly engineer but my drawback is the small size - so I was wishing for Danguard Ace DX in the future).

thanks for the info @dmen7
to be honest its cool to have both AT for the size and the Diecast, SOC will fit nicely with other SOC's, sound and LEDs effects are always a neat touch

I misses AT, so I'm ok with the SOC. To be fair, being smaller it has a nice weight. And, besides, the tokusatsu SOCs display is getting nicer: battle fever robo, leopardon, daileon and now daitetsujin 17. They will look great together. Mine should be home in a week or so...(already pre-ordered one eight)

Wow that’s very little diecast. Like black ox from gx-44. I guess it is because is like a big accessory for daitetsujin 17. They didn't even give it a number, it just gx101X...its not a SOC by its own.

By the way, yesterday I got my daitetsujin 17. I love it. This is what got me into the SOC line. It has good a heft and a good amount of die cast, articulation is good and works great, it has lot of details and beautiful paint, the extras are really nice, and transformation is simple yet very well executed. It is solid and really fun figure.
