EXO Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) "Dengeki Hobby have confirmed GX-30 to be Voltes V" YES!!!! AWESOME NEWS! of course along with this news, the Aoshima dropship, the Bubblegum Crisis figures, and the Yamato Megazone that these Japanese companies are after my money personally.

GX-27 Gaiking GX-28 Xabungle GX-29 Black Ox GX-30 Voltes V Gaiking is out fairly soon, the rest to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Looks like a space tractor pulling a space hay-bailer. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Patlabor doesnt need a SOC. The models themselves are just unassembled toys that you can choose to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Nice news but I`m through with SOC even as not as collector any of them cuz I`m not really a super robot fan but like to watch their shows but all my friends are SOC collectors. The only I wanna get is Grendaizer but always hard to fined, out of stock or out of print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 That is great news!!! I loved xabungle when I was a kid. Never saw the show but had a bunch of little $5 kits and rubbery toys. Unfortunately (for my wallet) I think this one's gonna be in the higher price range for the SOC toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugly Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yo Black Valk, they're actually going to re-release the original Grendizer SOC soon. Man, I love Xabungle. It's an even more improbably design then Dancougar, and the vehicle mode is hideous. So funkalicious it's soopa delicious. Voltes V, on the other hand, just oozes cool. Love the design.

Lol I had that the blue and the red one! It's from the 80's and I had no idea from what anime it was... Anyway my brother and I got it from a bargain toy sale. It was made out of cheap plastic and joints. We had a terrible time transforming the blue one.. why on earth did he had wings? Or does it supposed to be some kind of a truck?

Guppy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 some new pics of the Xabungle from this website: http://f52.aaa.livedoor.jp/~gffm/c3h2005.html lookin' good! So will the 'Brocary' in the 3rd pic be another GX release? Or a damed ltd edition mail-away? looks like the Chogokin Aquarion at the bottom too! yum.

Perhaps it's a FIX type thing where you get extra parts to turn the xabungle into a Brockary..? If anyone's seen a size comparison of this toy, post it! I dunno how tall this little guy will be. Hopefully not too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 great pics , the GFF and chogokins looks great. maybe the xanbugle is smaller than the other chogokins that are out? the Aquarion looks awesome i believe he is about $190.00 if i recall i hope he is big like the Zambot III and Dancouga. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Xabungle is really an amazing thing. It's not often that something with such a wicked-dorky looking alt mode can turn into such a wicked-cool bot. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
