It all depends on sales, if this figure is a knock-out then maybe a Dragon Caesar but the cost of tooling would need to be justified.

These are just concept designs for the SOC GGGG, usually designers will go nuts with the bean counters cutting back lol

I got the new SOC book a couple days back and in it were design sketches for the new DC Great, one picture was a picture of Great next to Mazinger in figure scale and Great was almost a head taller which is about damn time.

Well we all knew that this Mazinger was based on the Mazinger vs Ankoku Daishogun movie in which Koji was using the Jet Pilder. While the VS's set get's you stuff from the Mazinger vs Devilman movie in which Koji is using the Hover Pilder, they probably could have included both Pilders in the initial release though and given us a damaged face part or something instead for the VS's kit.

I'm hoping for a price drop at BBTS sometime, even at just $299.99US that's almost $400.00Cdn plus shipping.

its an awful move honestly, you know how many Jet ScranderS hover\jet pilderS we got ? at least 10 and most of it is setting inside the box i love Bandai but im getting tired of the TWE move every time, and its not even worth to be a TWE item, if its a full figure then i might look away but just for additional small parts that they could include with the original release in the first place its just unprofessional i want all of your money move, i hope they rethink that in the future, its not like their other projects is not selling well or they rarely have a hit product That's because your looking through the glasses of a non-Japanese resident. If you were living in Japan ordering a TWE would be like ordering a pizza, where you put your order in and it just shows up at your door a few months later. Granted I do accept that the price we pay as non-Japanese residents is unfair but I do understand why. My only gripe would be if they made it open to other countries like they did with the TWE Spazer where other residents besides the Japanese could order one straight from Bandai, but I'm guessing that was a one time deal. Could they have included all VS's set with the original release? Maybe, it would have driven up costs and quite honestly I personally don't want anything from the VS set except maybe the little statue.

Besides the parts swapping what about the QC? How's it feel in-hand? Does it feel like a SOC?

I don't mind parts swapping, this figure will basically be on a shelf and won't be touched after I'm through the initial fiddle period. It does look like it makes for great action pictures though.

My SOC book shipped so hopefully once I get I can see if I can get more info about this like size and stuff. It has to be bigger than Great Mazinger so I do see a price increase, plus the Spazer will most likely be the single most expensive accessory pack in the history of the SOC/DX SOC line easily unless it comes with it in which case I will be working a ton of overtime lol. Luckily I'm betting it won't be out for a few years.

The head's too small, it looks almost as SRC. I'm not liking its head sculpt either, the lower part of mouth should be larger. I hope its body proportion is more in line with DX SOC Mazingers, and its head scult as perfect as Great Mazinger. It's a little beer bellyish too, but it is still just a drawing I'm sure once they get to the prototype stage they will tweak the proportions for an actual 3 dimensional product and not a drawing.

As far as I know their two separate companies, but who knows I'm sure personnel move from company to company all the time.
