Alright. So if CM's Jeeg and Takara's are in the same size, are you saying that CM's Big Shooter will be bigger than Takara's? That's for sure. Look at the photo I posted of the vintage Big Shooter attached on Jeeg's shoulders, than at the CM's photo with Jeeg combined with Big Shooter wings.

According to some rumors, this could be Brave 36 (before Big Shooter?). The classic Tekkaman was another subject I loved in the 70s, I'm really happy CM's will release it! Just like Big Shooter, this seems just perfect!

I sort of skimmed through the entire series, but does anyone recall the Big Shooter actually disassembling like that and merging with Jeeg? They never do this in the anime, but you could do strange Big Shooter-Jeeg combination with the old Takara toy... this is probably just a nod to the vintage Big Shooter.

At least in Italy they can be sure these sets will be a major hit. Jeeg is the 2nd most popular super robot of all times here. I know an Italian distributor imported and sold all 1.000 units of the Brave 35 in a single day...

This is another photo appeared on CM's blog. After some debate, on Italian forums we identified these as Earth (bottom), Marine (top left) and Sky (top right) Parts. I'd bet they will be bundled with Big Shooter in a single add-on pack. I wonder if they will add another Jeeg figure too or not. Probably one without normal arms and legs?

This appeared today on the CM's blog This is filtered by myself to make it clearer: for sure, it's Big Shooter next to the Brave 35 Kotetsu Jeeg. I'm really really happy about this, hope they will include other parts for Jeeg too (Sky Parts, etc).

No, it's made from a GX-09. The nice thing is that it has basically the same diecast content as the original GX-09

You Italian collector brothers must be going nuts now, haha! Not that much actually: Daioja was one of the very few classic super robot anime never aired in Italy I love Daioja and will buy it for sure, but lots of Italian collectors I know will skip it.

The clue was posted on several Asian (JP & Chinese) forums, but from what I found no one actually posted the scan from the magazine.
Anyway in a few hours we should have info from the new issues of Hobby Japan and Hobby Magazine, I hope there's something there...

In addition to asking the shop, I also tried to contact Fewture directly about the broken wings. This is their answer.
"Dear, Mr. xxx, Thank you for interested our product and sorry about the problem. But we are not sending any over sea, and we replace the customer only who bought from Fewture direct shop. but please contact with shop you bought from. Sorry for inconvenient"
So, be sure you buy it from a shop you trust, since in the likely case you will need support for the wing, you will need to deal with them only.

I also spoke to some modelers here in Italy, I think the best thing to do would be to use the wings from Fewture, cut the flawed joints and rebuild new ones from scratch. I would really like to retain the original painting: it's beautiful.
Once I got the replacement, I will probably try it.
