6 inches? Isn't that the same size as the original Mazinger SOC (GX-01)? That's teeny! I was hoping something along 7.5 or so. What a bummer... Oh well, I have the Black Ox, and Voltes V to look forward to. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) Thanks for the heads up Biz~!

You are so right, this is something to look forward to BIG TIME and thanks to Gatchaman for the nice design pics.
This is my first post, hope I can hang aroung for a while.

Will this start the trend of having more Sentai bots appearing in the SOC line, like bioman ?

Yeah, Bioman! I'll buy that one! I always regretted not getting the original in the 80's. As far as Battle Fever, 6 inches?? That does sound small. I wonder how much diecast content it'll feature.

Wow!
BFJ is looking good!
That's the old Battle Shark he's standing next to right?
I like it, but I'm going to wait this one out. I wanna see the toy first before I buy it.
BTW, what's that cool looking reverse joint thingie, and is that a modified S'Dog?
Spiffy!
Thanks again Biz!

If that's the original DX Battle Shark, then this BF-Robo is gonna be pretty large - larger than the original DX Chogokin that fit inside the Battle Shark, anyway (don't forget, the original has to fit inside a "launch platform" before going into the Battle Shark's hold). I'm guessing... oh somewhere just under 9 inches tall... at least an inch and half on the Mazinger bots.
BTW - that's scan's pretty cool - what's that thing on the bottom right? Looks a bit like it's made of parts from the Yamato Scopedog. Is it from Votoms or something?

That Battle Fever looks good, I wasn't too sure about the head design but it's really starting to grow on me.

I can't wait for this guy to hit shelves! One of the best! With this, the Getter re-issues, the VoltesV, Black Ox and catching up etc, I will be broke for the forseeable future. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png)

Bizzio, That is definitely not the Popy DX. It's either a painted prototype of the SOC, or just a shot of an actor in a costume.

Well, if I remember the images I've seen of BFJ, that's not the costume from the show - the actual footage of BF-Robo was clunky and clumsy-looking, bulky in all the wrong places thanks to its weird "thigh armour" and stuff... it just looked weird. This pic doesn't look weird.

I sort of promised myself that I wouldn't get any more SOC's until Voltes V. But heck... I know that I am going to to get GX28 and 29 for Christmas and I will probably get Battle Fever for my brithday this February--though I find this one to look really silly (however, the recent pix is convincing me otherwise...). Okay, I might fulfil my personal promise and not get the "lighter" one--this definitely looks dumb!!! But watch me cave in... I do have all of them already.
