If there was ever a Gundam that was closest to s a SR it would be this one.

For a moment, I thought it was an update of their Exkaiser. Turned out it was a entirely different animal...

First Gundam in SOC line technically , a Super Robot variant but still quite impressive since this unit never got anything outside of a Recycled ZZ HG kit sadly , here's hoping he impress to many

I'm fully in for a 1/1 gundam!!!! this thing is crazy, I loved it in the show, and its an homage to many super robots (daltanias, GGG, EXkaizer). Never expected this to be released, in fact we only got Kits from the build series, never a figure, so this been done is such a surprise. Probably it would be a combiner too, so no way I will say no to this one...

Meanwhile in Metal Build, the actual high end Gundam gokin series.... Hey! Got another Dynames!
Actually really excited to see how Tryon 3 comes out though, this and Shinkalion got me interested in SOC after a brief hiatus. But I also really hope the Metal Build event in July has some crazy reveals too (and is better than the last Metal Build event)

Not gonna lie. This came off as a pretty odd and comedic release to me at first glance, as if Bandai went nuts after Chogokin logo bot and Rubik's Cube bot. But after watching the better compiled video below seeing it in more action, Tryon 3 is actually kind of badass. I suppose it lands somewhere between General Franky and Gekigangar 3, with its novelty being the main selling point. I haven't watch any Build Fighter shows, nor particularly interested in it. But I am intriqued by this release at this point, and by looking at the lightened image, the SOC will look better than the original design, as they tweaked it a bit (more details on the lion head, and much wider ZZ shoulders). For once, Bandai is doing something unique/risky for the SOC line, instead of following others' trend (and fail). This video seems to have most if not all of the scenes of Tryon 3, even its bitter end in the show (spoiler).

mpchi I recommend the first two seasons, build fighters and build fighters try. They are awesome shows, with tons of references to the gundam multiverse. Also, very fun kids show, with very nice combat scenes. gpa I'm also waiting for them to show something really interesting and new to the line (or some restock of things I missed hahaha), Im still waiting for the tri star zaku I they showed about 3 years ago....

Yeah, it's so weird that Bandai's just kind of throwing Gundam Chogokin all over the place. There's the regular Chogokin, Metal Build, Metal COmposite, and now an SOC, I guess. But it's pretty crazy to me how it seems like Metal Builds consistently sell well and new companies like Moshow, CCSToys, Flame Toys, and Heat Boys pretty much just copy the Metal Build approach, but Bandai seems so afraid to really go all in on the line. We'll get a year or so of new and interesting releases, then nothing for years. SOC is the same way.

This is the most exciting thing I've seen in the SOC line in such a long. Meanwhile in Metal Build, the actual high end Gundam gokin series.... Hey! Got another Dynames! Actually really excited to see how Tryon 3 comes out though, this and Shinkalion got me interested in SOC after a brief hiatus. But I also really hope the Metal Build event in July has some crazy reveals too (and is better than the last Metal Build event) They just released Providence and Kampfer back to back in the MB line, so it makes sense that it's about time for a recolor. They even just released the Gouf, though that still uses some parts from the Zaku. And if there's one Gundam that actually makes sense to release as part of the Chogokin line instead of the MB/FFMC it's the Tryon 3, and it's predecessor the Try Zeta. Not gonna lie. This came off as a pretty odd and comedic release to me at first glance, as if Bandai went nuts after Chogokin logo bot and Rubik's Cube bot. But after watching the better compiled video below seeing it in more action, Tryon 3 is actually kind of badass. I absolutely loved it's showing the Build Fighters Try anime, and was the most redeeming thing about that disappointing sequel. It showed up to flip the table on the real robot loving in-universe characters and leave them all bewildered on how it makes no sense to them.

I suppose I'm just upset that they've been spinning their wheels on the 00 Gundams and have never given us a Kyrios or a Virtue, not even a Cherudim.

I heard the hosts on ToysTV and other HK collectors often saying stuff like: "Gunpla is freedom" "Diaclone is freedom" "Toys is freedom" (referring to you can play, mix & match however you want) I think I found the origin source of that quote from the Tryon 3 clip. Haha. Who would have thought...

I mean it's a quote even before Build Fighters Try by Meijin kawaguchi, so no surprise they are taking liberty with the quote to fit the Toys in general

I have zero problems with this being an SOC. In the anime this is homage to Super Robots. I have long wanted an MG of it but will happily take an SOC
