What I don't get is that their is already a transforming dangiaoh by studio half eye that even has light up hand and it looks perfect. If not bandai then maybe sentinel could pull it off; they are on the obori bandwagon with baikanfu, dancouga and gravion.

Someone around here wanted that version. It's way too expensive and I think missing landing gear. It might be delicate too. There were a bunch of posts about it. But you would think with the Blu-ray release some company would have announced something by now. Unless it's just a matter of scheduling and we are playing the waiting game.

I saw this on a Sideshow Collectibles collector profile today.

 

 

They need to do this with some of the bots that I like.

[JB0]

That is pretty darn cool.

[Major Focker]

it came with a cool mech hangar too. 

pricey now though (close to $1k)

Chogokin Mazinkaiser on sale for 16,200 yen @ Banzai Hobby. Might not be available, but you can give it a shot if you want it.

And some people think Voltron is too expensive these days.

From RobotJapan forums:

Another reveal from the ongoing Tamashii Nations. 

Texts says "Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger Series" 

No details yet but presumably it should be able to combine with Daizyujin (MMPR Megazord)

Now I'm more curious, what else does Bandai has up their sleeves? They already gave us a sample of the engineering of this mech in the Super Mini-pla line, they also plan to release Titanus under the Super Mini-pla line too, would an SOC version follow too??

I hope they can recreate The Zambot3 Super mini-pla in the SOC line as well. The Super Mini-pla version of Zambot3 is ridiculously posey.

Sweet jeebus!   Crap I'm going to have to hunt down a SOC Megazord aren't I?   C'mon ThunderZords!  Dangard needs a new red dragon!

Shouldn't be too hard or expensive, many were disappointed by the Megazord, at least compared to Voltron. I was meh on him, he's certainly the nicest Megazord ever made, but he could have had much better articulation. Chogokin Dragonzord is a must buy, and yes, I too must wonder if Chogokin Titanus is on the way. Bit of a bummer for me, I already dropped a hefty amount on the stupid Legacy Zords, which are fine, but I never would have bothered had I known Chogokin would go all in on them themselves.

@dragonstar1982, whitestar and JBO - a bit late, but thanks for those comparison images and input on Dancouga.

Did not realize that Sentinel's version was somewhat smaller, but it explains why the individual bots never looked quite convincing.

Anyway, I have gone an ordered the Bandai version. Going to be my very first SOC, very intrigued what makes this such a credited and stand-out toy line.

Congratulations man, I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

I might only buy Dragon Caesar.   The fact that he stomped all over Daizyujin originally was cool.  Maybe I'll get Megazord when it drops to $200usd.   Cheapest is Chosen Prime at $250 right now but I don't get free shipping since I'm not in the states.  Plus I'm running out of space, gotta be picky now.  haha

How I missed this is beyond me.
 

Got the full Review for the Bandai Tamashii MIX Giga Armor Megaman X up; http://kumastyledesigns.com/bandai-giga-armor-megaman-x-review/

I think it's a pretty good read and I definitely didn't pull punches with my nitpicks. Here are some pics from the gallery portion:

[no3Ljm]

I gave up my HLJ PO to an officemate months ago since he's more into Combattler V than me. I'm more of a Voltes V and Daimos guy. As most Filipinos are.  

But seeing the new photos and video uploaded at Tamashii site, I'm jealous now.

Where's the best place to buy the  DX Soul of Chogokin Combattler V ???

Hmm...

That box contains the five ships, plus accessories and stuff.

So either she's incredibly strong, or that DX is really damn light to be carried easily like that...

That price is crazy for combattler v. Even crazier then arcadia's garland.

Well, think of this way. Which is more crazy deserving for that price (Y52000+/-)? That Combattler V or the Premium Finish SDF-1? 

[Major Focker]

i've ordered all three (combattler dx, PF SDF-1, arcadia garland)

considering the size, engineering, diecast, electronics, accessories; the combattler looks like a bargain compared to other two.

and i'm not even a fan of combattler.

And I absolutely CAN NOT wait! I missed out on the original SOC Big-O and all of his extra goodies, nabbed this Kurogane version as soon as it went up for PO, I will NOT miss out again, it is a truly beautiful looking figure.

[Atheonyirh]

I already have the original and its expansion set. But how am I to resist getting another one ten years later?
