I hope that that movie never gets released because if it happens to ruin my childhood memories of the anime, I am going to bitch slap Go Nagai and every single person involved in that movie.  Now that I got that out of my system, let's talk about robots that I will like to see on the Metaltech line: - Psycho Armor Govarian (サイコアーマー ゴーバリアン). - God Mazinger (ゴッドマジンガ). - Mazin Saga (マジンサーガ). - Acrobunch (魔境伝説アクロバンチ). - Galactic Gale Baxingar (銀河烈風バクシンガ). - Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger (銀河疾風サスライガ). - Galaxy Cyclone Braiger (銀河旋風ブライガ). - Star Musketeer Bismarck (星銃士ビスマルク). - Warrior of Love Rainbowman (愛の戦士レインボーマン) from the 1982 anime. I know that you don't want to work on combiners and transforming robots as some of the ones listed, but could there be plans to released them as fully articulated figures? |

AFAIK, HL-Pro still has a relationship with Fewture, which has partnerships with both ArtStorm and Action Toys. Both companies are currently developing Dai Apolon, so I do not think that HL-Pro will like to compete with them. |

CFF, thank you for your suggestion. the title you gave me I think most of them has done by EVO TOY....
Die cast figure always need quantity to make profit...that is the key. need at least 2000 pieces.
The titles.. I think it is bit hard to reach that number.
Mazin Saga, God Mazinger will be possible.
Vinyl figure also possible maybe.
About Daiaplon, we tried but we gave up since I found our partner have been working for it already.

Evolution toys isn't making any of the above except Braigar those are the Super robots no one has made yet! Evolution toys was making Diapolon but think they lost license as stores now say discontinued.. if u made God Mazinger you'd have a big seller I think! We are all waiting on one! |

Vinyl figure also possible maybe. About Daiaplon, we tried but we gave up since I found our partner have been working for it already. Thank you for looking into my suggestions, and for taking some into consideration. It is good to see that the industry is listening to fans. Since profits on Die-Cast figures are based on quantity, could it be possible to have surveys done on social media? So your company can get an idea of which franchises customers are mostly looking forward to purchase. I know that HL-Pro is not as big in North America when compared to Europe. But I know that a lot of European customers, specially the Italians, would be thrilled if word got out that one of the robots that I suggested could be released in die cast form. Even if that figure was non-transforming/non-combining. As far as I know, Evolution Toy made Braiger. So if Evolution Toy is working on other robots from my list, that is news to me. I also know that Yamato did make Braiger, Sasuraiger, and Baxingar under their G-Nu Do line. But that was a decade ago. So modern toy versions of these robots seem to be due. CM's Corp was planning to develop Acrobunch, but unfortunately that company went bankrupt. Sen-Ti-Nel did show Govarian as part of their Metamor-Forse line. But that was about 2-years ago, and it seems that due to lack of updates this project was dropped. I am not aware of any company working on modern toy versions of Bismark and Rainbowman, unless Evolution Toy is secretly working on them. |

Toei Animation is reviving Mazinger Z, one of its most acclaimed brands, for an upcoming feature film. First introduced in 1972, the giant robot series created by acclaimed cartoonist Go Nagai still resonates among fans as one of the first to introduce Japanese animation to audiences worldwide. Mazinger Z was an immediate phenomenon, which spawned several sequels, including Great Mazinger and UFO Robot Grendizer, known in French as Goldorak. While no additional details have been revealed yet, the upcoming film promises to both capture the same magic of the original series, and continue Toei Animation’s groundbreaking feature film production.
