Size reveal! Roughly 9-9.5" inches?








Still bulky and semi-clunky, but as long as the joints are solid and properly designed with about as much articulation as the SRC, then it would be a dream come true!

Chances are, the Hammer and Star parts will be a seperate pack, like the Big O pack. Unless Bandai pulls off a miracle in cost management and puts it all together.

Blueprints!


















Looks like they're gunning for accurate transformation as much as possible. That spin out hand during the transformation sequence seems to be included, along with a working Broken Magnum gimmick, if the blueprints stay true.

CAD images. Hope they improve on the lion. Head seems kinda wrong.

Articulated hands!!

Linear Gao!




Impressive design thought here, they had the underside have a folding plate for more clearance for the bicep. This shortens the length of the shoulders by 25% . Bandai engineering never ceases to amaze.



The orange box says they will show complete prototype on those dates at an upcoming event.

The bad news is, despite it being priced very high, the diecast content looks very minimal?

-Gaigar's Knees, shoulder, ankle and elbow joints?
-Gaigar's inner thigh?
-GGG's feet
-GGG's elbows?

Love the engineering!



Also, Good thing there's tip for when inserting the Linear Gao the wrong way (not lifting the head). lol.. "BROKEN".


Gotta watch out for things like that. Good thing Bandai made the video understandable even if it's in Japanese.

Update!











Wonder what's up with the word Final on the Soul of Iron logo? Does it mean the final update for this toy, or is this particular section of the magazine going away? Or am I just reading too much into it?


Judging by that little add on piece, it does seem like there will be a cheat of sorts in terms of how the Marg Arm will connect, Well, as long as it makes it more stable I'm all for it.



I think GGG is getting a second run in October?
