Re: Mazinger Z & Super Robots (Shogun Warriors) and other Mecha - Official thread!!
Tamashii Nations 2017 just kicked off in Japan.
No, I'm not at the show. Ganked some pictures from social media and Japanese websites, some good robotic things in the pipeline:
A personal holy grail I never thought I'd see, a fully-transformable Zeta Plus from Gundam Sentinel. Coming July 2018, retail release, part of the Metal Robot Damashii x Ver Ka line.
Robot Damashii Patlabor's not dead! Griffon flight type coming next year.
Metal Build Mazinger Infinity.
Metal Build Strike Gundam.
The first product of a new line, "Metal Structure", RX-93 Nu Gundam. Word is it's 1/60th scale. Probably bowel-shudderingly expensive.
A load of the old Unicorn Robot Damashiis are getting re-issued with premium "real-type marking" paint schemes.
P-Bandai Neo-Zeong Robot Damashii. It's just the shoulders and hands and is priced at over ¥17,000 yen. Seems kind of pointless.
Hi-Metal R Super Ostrich appears to be gearing up for release.
More Hi-Metal R Macross II: Lovers Again figures on the way.
Hi-Metal R Techno Police 21C figures. I know absolutely nothing about the source material, but they certainly look nice. HMR seems to be evolving into the "Dad's Favourite Anime" toyline.
Soul of Chogokin Striker Eureka confirmed. Apparently there was also a placard mentioning something about a Cherno Alpha being in development.
What appears to be a Metal Robot Damashii SD Musha Gundam.
And finally, they're apparently gearing up to release a Soul of Chogokin Getter Emperor.
