Well it says it will be around 130millimeters or 13 centimeters which works out to 51/8 inches. But it does come with a second figure so I guess that's Bandai's way of making up for the small size of it.

Crap, if it's that's small, I'll pass.

There is no indication at this time that Brocolli is included with Xabungle.

Inwards, it says that the broccoli will apparently come with the Xabungle in the second scan of the magazine.

Yes, it does actually say that.

Yes, it does actually say that. Interesting. I'm not sure that I believe the article, but interesting none the less. I guess we'll know for sure once we see official pricing.

Your looking at somthing around Zambo Ace's height, maybe a little taller. Plus I thought it said that it will come with the second figure, but I guess we'll know for sure once the proto's come out.

You have to remember though, Lurker, that this guy is a) a "real" mech, with a "real" sense of scale, and b) would be smaller then mazinger z in any case. Also, from the drawings it looks like it'll be more poseable then Mazinger Z as well, with a bucketload of accesories. And finally, c) it comes with the Brocallay, whatever that is.... Why do people think it's gonna be 100 smackers? Seems a bit high, dontcha think? I think the reason why it would be $100 or more is because theres a lot more work in the engineering. I mean the ton of accessories is a factor as well. I think thats why they scaled down the size, so you can have the acessories.. and still pay for it at a reasonable cost.

Firstly, I haven't a clue what Xabungle is (well, actually, I do with the little Googling I just did plus a clip I managed to download a few months ago). I'm not really familiar with the show.. where did you find it... I'm still looking for a clip. But I was looking around for it.. and found a image of Xabungle that caught my eye... if the toy can look as good as this 3d model.. I think I may have a change of heart...

Wow...I think that 3D is a good rep. of what Xabungle will look like...obviously, minus the nice "dirt," but the proportions are almost exactly the same...sweet....
I think the reason that Xabungle is so small is that smaller means higher diecast content and lower price...obviously, if it comes with the Brackary (blackally?) and a crapload of weapons, that's going to drive up the price...
OT: get Final Fantasy dawn of souls for GBA! It kicks ass! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha...my eyes hurt from playing it so much...that's why I've been gone for a couple days...

This robot and the era it represents do not deserve to be given the SOC treatment.
WTF? may I ask? WTF indeed.......
How can they consider doing such a thing when BRAVE REIDEEN-DANGAURD ACE-VOLTES V-and JEEG of STEEL await their rebirth?
Hell, gimme a Dunbine even, but not that hideous thing.

I personally think it deserves the SOC treatment much more than the evas did. Then again I'm a fan of 80's semi-realistic yet still pretty crazy mecha like Xabungle and Dancougar. A Dunbine would definitely be cool though.

I'm not a big fan of 80s mecha, but the design for Xabungle (even the name!) is just so cool and whacky, I HAVE to get him. I'd actually prefer'im without the BlackAlly, because it'd be way cheaper...

The Evangelion entites are ultimate, I just think they should have been outside the subtext of SOC. I wish they would do the white one......
As far as Xabungle is concerned, it's not even my kind of "zaney" Inazuman is my kind of wacky, I'm just not attracted to the semi realistic stuff. There is no fun in say, Dougram or what have you.
Golion now.

"The Evangelion entites are ultimate, I just think they should have been outside the subtext of SOC. I wish they would do the white one......"
But the chrome EVA is the SOC's version of the white one. The one that blew up in mid-air from a distance while being transported.
I personally can't wait from more old school super robots or even the sentai ones from the godaikin series there's just tons waiting for the SOC treatment.
not overly joyed about this xabungle, didn't enjoy evas as much
I think the SOCs should be exclusive to the super robots and bandai should made a separate die-cast line for "punty obscure real robots" if they want to continue making these.
I guess bandai is betting that SOC collectors are all completist, making such an obscure robot when other more popular ones remain
of course I'm probably still going to get this as I did with the EVAs as I'm abit of a mild completist myself.

The "White Eva" is the winged killer unit from End of Evangelion, not the unit that blows up in America. I love the Eva's, but I thought the chrome one was stretching things- all it gets is a mention in NGE. You never get to see the thing. And if I'm gonna' gripe about Eva's- why couldn't Bandai have sprung for a couple of oversize forearms for the black one? It seems this Xabungle would almost be something along the lines of a Kahen Senshi, like the 1/144 Zakus and the Hyaku-Shiki. It will have to have a really ingenious transformation to get my interest- not just some Transformers style car-into-robot-shtick. I'll wait and see. JWM

True that Jwm, Chrome Eva was in Nevada and exploded. Maybe it was at the buffet at Paris, sh*ts happend to me before. Yeah the white one needs to get made. I too was looking for the long arms. I think they should have been bigger! Super robots only! They could make such a kick ass Reideen, Xabungle? WTF \m/
