Hi, we all know King Joe is going to be the next release, but does anyone have an idea as to whom is next for the Soul of Chogokin treatment after him?
I saw the Iron Gear thread, and also the Daitarn 3 one too.
What do poeple think is going to be next, surely there should have been some news out by now, seeing a King Joe's Release is right around the corner?

If Gaiking is an indication, I think we could expect a Jeeg SOC (sometime within the next century). If not a Classic Jeeg SOC, maybe a Shin Jeeg in their GE line.

I'm very much looking foreward to seeing a painted prototype of Iron Gear myself. I had a tiny knock-off Iron Gear when I was little and I had no idea what it was (a giant hovering tank was the last thing on my mind) so I imagined it to be a spaceship like SDF1 or Albator's (Harlock's) pirate ship.

I'm forever hoping they do a SOC Tetsujin based on the SG-01 design. Given the original's commanding price tag these days, you'd think Bandai would recognise the market for one.
Oh, and also always dreaming of a true SOC GoLion! ;D

I second your list Rex and would add Dangard, Daimos, and Dangaioh (I dunno what's up with all the D names...they just happen to be the ones I want...maybe a Daikengo too ) Though I do hope they keep putting out pieces like the lighters and King Joe...so that my wallet can rest

Reideen (classic version,) would be sweet and so would Danguard. I think I read somewhere, though I can't remember where, that Danguard would probably never get the SOC treatment. Has anyone heard of this or know why? Maybe I just imagined reading this. Nevermind. Haha.
As for my own personal wishlist, I'd like to see Analyzer/IQ9 from Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers. He would fit in perfect with some of the more "interesting" recent SOC selections.

I'd love an Analyzer SOC, with LEDs or some light-up gimick. Or Harlock's robot too! still trying to find a vintage Analyzer MIB.

i need a jeeg or a shin jeeg, if they made the ugli king joe and the lighter thing then they should make the jeeg too. The "Shin Jeeg" anime is from the same company/team of "Shin Getter Robot".. I hope/think that gohkin Shin Jeeg & Jeeg will be released from the same company that produced Gohkin Shin Getter 1 ;D ;D

As far as I know the classic Kotetsu Jeeg is still owned by Takara Tomy; Kotetsujin Jeeg is another story though.

Even if Jeeg is a Takara/Tomy owned property it really doesan't mean much so a SOC version of the classic Jeeg is possible. Gaogaigar is also owned by Takara and it has figures from CM, Yujin, Kaiyodo, SHE, MaxFactory, plus a ton others and that's not including all the gashoppon and models.

I don't really understand how licensing works, but will Takara charge larger sums of money to big company like Bandai, compared to how much they charge to smaller companies like CMs or Max Factory?
Because it's really rare for Bandai to issue the same kind of merchandise if other companies have released them (Shin Getter, Jeeg, Mazinkaiser, Gaogaigar) with the exception of Gunbuster (with SHE perfect change Gunbuster).
I can understand that Shin Getter, Mazinkaiser and Gaogaigar are maybe considered too recent for SOC release - but they can always go under the GD or GE line like Aquarion or Neo Gaiking. But I have not seen a version of Jeeg that is not made by Takara, yet.

Well Gaogaigar is about ten years old now and Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser are getting there too so they may be getting close to being SOC's but I think SOC's main focus are still the classic robot's from the 70's and 80's like Reideen and Daimos, besides there's already great versions of Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser out there. But I wouldn't be surprised if there will be SOC version of these robots since they already have appeared in Bandai's SRW games unless there are some licensing issues concerning toys.

The classic Jeeg makes too much sense for Bandai not to go for it at some point. I think there's a certain number of collectors that have the image of that Mazinkaiser promo with all the Go Nagai-bots stuck in their heads...
