    I hear you. I would think it’s similar to Combattler.

    Stole someone else’s photo for illustrative purposes...

    See, that's not bad. I don't need to put a figure that size and weight into a bunch of Revoltech-style poses...but I'm hoping for more than just an A-stance. That Combattler pose has enough style to make him interesting.

    The Respect for Volt-In Box GX-31V and the 20th-anniv GX-31V are stupidly and insanely overscalped since day-1, and still being overscalped today.

    For the current stupid scalper pricing on those, might as well get this new DX SOC and not look back.

    That’s out already. It’s one of the greatest releases period and I mean that even as an accessory and not an actual figure release (even though it does come with that basic figure).

    DX voltes V looks pretty solid, it appears almost twice the height of the GX31, overall I really like the simplicity of the design but will just have to stick to the considerably more space saving original.

    Saw a fake news floating around about gx-71 being reissued again in 2021. Here is a comparison of the fake news and the 2019 actual ‘old’ news. EE556252-E888-436B-B03B-E657541CC6BB.jpeg A9042A62-0341-4FFE-9CE1-7BF0EA718099.jpeg

    I have the original GX-31 and the newer FA version. My caveman brain is like "you need the DX" and my rational brain is saying "you literally don't have any space and that's a lot of money" and my little boy brain is just singing the damned theme song.

    Me too! However, I don’t think it would happen before 2030...

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Bandai pulled a repaint Toon variant or chromed the thighs and minorly tweaked the colors for a Renewal version. I would love an Anime version like they did with the Mazingers. Looks stunning in flat paint albeit scratchable AF.

    Lol. If my wife ever claims I have too many toys, I’m going to show her pictures of your collection. You have an amazing setup!
