I think you've made a good point there... Most of Bandai's chogokins are geared towards the male market.
So perhaps Bandai is just trying to be "gender-correct" by appealing to the female market?
In Japan, young chics enjoy collecting chogokins of their favorite characters such as the Vocaloid Miku Hatsune,
Hello Kittie, Drossel (to name a few). Any revenue from the female market can go towards other chogokin projects
and eventually fund the makings of chogokins we'd like to see and have. My wild guess, of course. lol

Or maybe Bandai is enticing the male collectors to transition to collecting girly toys! But seriously I don't mind them releasing gokins like this as long as we don't get neglected. A good salesman has everything for every customer.

And conversely, I know of guys that are hardcore into Barbies. And I am talking about people that do not fall in the Boy George or Rosie O'Donol categories.

Definitely... but isn't it still weird for a guy to love to collect girly stuff, not meant for resale? Like, I would buy the Holiday Barbie upon release, just to sell it for a good profit a few months later. But to keep it in a collection, nah.

Maybe Bandai is secretly putting a lot efforts on a Grendizer DX even as we speak and they're just randomly putting fillers in the meantime ... (yes i'm hoping to get a DX version of Grendy from them ... )

Hi all,

I am sure that a DX Grendizer shall be made - I think he is more popular than Great Mazinger (no offense to GMZ fans). As much as I like the DX line, finances (and room space) says that I'll focus on the "classic SOC". I have a few SRC but am not happy with the Thunder Thighs on MZ and Grendy.

Cheers,

I bought it to go with my Hello Kitty Chogokin. And who knows, maybe there is a market for women/girls? It's not terribly expensive and is a nice hunk of metal.

CFF: So today at Target I saw the electronic Voltron. This is the non-combiner version, and it is well proportioned. It also has faux scratches to simulate battle damage. Dec 26, 2016 22:41:04 GMT

CFF: At $36.99, the price was not bad. But with only 4 copies available which were roughly handled, and poor paint apps on the face and other small areas, I was a bit turned off and did not buy it. I might buy a copy later on as new stock becomes available... Dec 26, 2016 22:44:00 GMT
