Yes. According to the blog, Bandai hired a well known sculptor to make the GX-70 as anime accurate as possible. Because of so many inconsistencies in the regular anime series, they decided to use the Mazinger Z version from the Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishogun OVA, which is the best rendition of Mazinger Z classic Toei character.
Like I said, if it turns out nice, it may mark the beginning of the end of my collecting days. Then, all I would need is an SOC GaoFighGar to be completely happy!

That is great news indeed. Thank you very much! I have never seen the Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishogun OVA, but I am sure I have seen many images of it online and didn't know it. Ah, the wish of every collector, to finally stop collecting. That and the wish for more space and more money to collect more stuff.  |

Soul of Chogokin GX-70 Mazinger Z. This item is super alloy soul, and unusual as eventually superalloy itself, were those developed by spending a month of more than two years.
Early Soul of Chogokin GX-01 Mazinger Z was launched in December 1997, it has sold 5 million units in just three weeks. As an item to commemorate the 20th year of 2017 from there, of the product planning of a new super alloy soul Mazinger Z was born I would say necessarily. That it is already brainstorming since its release (2012) of DX Soul of Chogokin Mazinger Z it has been started.

Of the 20th anniversary of the direction of the super alloy soul Mazinger Z has solidified, it was around spring of 2014. So The punched the direction, would be to reproduce the TV animation version was broadcast in the 1970s. Even though the animation version and the bite, "Mazinger Z" of television have been broadcasting for two years, it has been changed to a variety also style in the meantime. So the planning team was heading, it was to be three-dimensional version that appeared in movie theaters that have been screened at the "Toei Manga Festival". This if ...... that the user can assume the greatest common divisor sought. "Toei Manga Festival" Screening work, especially in order to reproduce the Mazinger Z of renowned also as an all-time best of robot animation "Mazinger Z vs. the Great Dark General", planning began to move.

▲ Mazinger Z of "Mazinger Z vs. the Great Dark General" is here. "Soul of Chogokin GX-70" of this began in the banner to reproduce this form. Since the back of the head in this work has been painted blue, GX-70 is has followed it.
Sketch, in which proceeds smoothly and the prototype, one of the hesitation is born in the planning team. Planning team of super alloy soul fifth generation counting from Tsuyoshi Nonaka founder. Once you say truth, not a generation that experienced the Mazinger Z in real time. Therefore, what can make the Mazinger Z, which themselves can be really convincing real-time generation? We have reached the question. While performing the seek to clear this question, one man from Hiroaki Tanaka was a second generation in charge of super alloy soul (now Bandai Candy Division) will be introduced.
And that person is Mr. Kazuhiro Ochi. Ochi Mr. DVD box of the package of "Mazinger Z", has worked on the jacket illustration, I had the attitude that thoroughly to reproduce the atmosphere of animation. Its commitment not only touch, extends to the color ring. In addition, there is also the author of the full-color comic called "Go Nagai Manga Gaiden dynamic Heroes", has created a dream of Hero co-star.
Thus, Mr. Ochi and super alloy soul planning team will encounter, Ochi said is readily agreed to cooperate in the development of the GX-70 Mazinger Z. At that time, almost a year from the development start of the GX-70 was passed. Further one year from here was about to begin.

Apparently, Bandai has been working on the GX-70 Mazinger Z project since 2014! Unfortunately, it seems this figure will be released on the 20th anniversary of the first release of the Soul of Chogokin line - which is December of 2017!  I also read on an Italian forum, way before it was even announced by Bandai, that the GX-70 will be a very pricey SOC. The person stated it would command in excess of $800 USD!!! Well, if that's the case, I'll be over $2400 dollars poorer come December of 2017... }| |

They are hinting at armor removal and damage parts I think ok .. But if it's smaller than DX? So it would have to be all die cast ,armor removal , inside machinery, damage parts, sounds? But smaller than DX maybe that would add up to 800$? |
