Well that's not "Super Robot" per se, so I think Bandai's not gonna go with that.

It's in the list. New screen captures uploaded coming Ngee Khiong's Blog. The wiki also says that the line includes Super Sentai. :thumbs:

He was displayed in the line beforehand and vanished.

Holy ****, this line is going to include a Kiba?! I think Kiba only got one other toy, which became so absurdly collectible that I've only ever seen it behind glass for like $120 at a Mandarake. Online prices are worse, and it's not even a very good toy!

I plan on buying up the entire Dendoh line for Super Robot Chogokin, these sculpts look great. There's never been a really poseable Knight Ogre and the one really poseable Dendoh they issued was a limited-edition high grade model kit of some sort that rapidly became super-collectible due to limited run.

(I checked prices about 5 years ago and that kit went for like $500, it's probably worse now.)

Ugh...sooooooooo much WANT in this first wave alone...:disappoin

 

[The_Emperor]

I'll only be getting ShinkenOh (a total no brainer for me ), Battle Fever Robo, and maybe Sun Vulcan Robo.
