>>23827034How does one delay something 4 times?
King Exkaiser's black recolor.
>>23827038Pressure, or the design is a hand grenade. Good Smile revealed their hand with the THE GATTAI J-Decker, and now Action Toys can never sell their own version of J-Decker anymore because they knew the all-plastic THE GATTAI version will be superior in all sorts of ways.

Where so you guys even get Toyrise stuff? Feels like every place is charging obscene amounts.
>>23827038>>23827048I wasn't kidding last year when I said you can expect that shit from Action Toys and them having announced figures before that are still MIA after like five years.
>>23827847It seems to follow the same trend as Diaclone Reboot.>PO price is lowest>Sold out on release>Have to stalk Amazon JP/Manda for a few months if you missed the POs.

Since the game walkthroughs can be pretty tough, feel free to enjoy it in ways that suit your lifestyle, like watching playthrough live streams."
https://twitter.com/yonetanikantoku/status/2047570251525898253"I was involved in supervisory support, mainly for the script. I worked tirelessly to make everything consistent, using behind-the-scenes settings to ensure the original work's worldview remained intact. The PV seems to have had corrections that couldn't keep up, but the visuals in the game have been improved a bit more. Even so, some nitpicky points remain... Please forgive them, and I hope you can enjoy it as a game."

>>23836313He's probably a GSC shill since GSC owns a part of 4channel. Not denying the thing about Action Toys history though.
>>23837061I went and got pissed at Action Toys for constantly delaying J-Decker until they could decide to call it quits ultimately. That's all because Good Smile revealed their hand about their own version of J-Decker. If only they skipped all the way to Goldran, then none of this would have happened.Also, kinda skeptical about the Metamor-Force Super Fire Dagwon when I remembered how bad their Gravion aged. Whether Bandai makes it again or Good Smile, maybe they can make the design better.

Bump
https://twitter.com/tspark_official/status/2052564390755324307Toyrise Dagwon coming soon.
>>23852204https://x.com/i/status/2052564642409435188Raijin-Oh also coming.And going back to Fire Dagwon, I really, really, REALLY want all Dagwons remade this time. The Metamor-Force version, floppy as it could be, is like an experimental test to see if we could get a complete line. Toyrise has to make it work, and with their control, maybe they could even remake the DagTectors in a way they made the Ryukendo figures. Maybe they could pack the two for Takara Tomy Mall exclusives, who knows?
https://twitter.com/tspark_official/status/2052564138921251139Toyrise Choryujin coming soon.
>>23852204Oh finally. It took them long enough to get back to making units from other series. They just keep doing GGG gank. Dagwon has a lot of units too. >>23852583My point exactly. You saw how poorly the model kit sold nobody's going to really be into this but people who must get the newest toy that's released for Insta clout.
>>23852740And the best part about Dagwon is the DagTector, allowing the heroes to fight without needing their robot forms. And we had figures of those, which is enough to hope they make those as a separate line to the main robots.

>>23860274https://x.com/digitamin/status/2054409312966156539?s=20Seems like Fire Dagwon is shorter?
>>23860607So same size as Genesic, I presume?https://x.com/i/status/2054406875748417699By the way, here are some of the new Kotobukiya kits. We're in this for the long run with another Fire Dagwon.
>>23860685Seems like it. Would be cool if it could swap arms with Genesic or the other GGGs. Also just noticed Fire Blade has an extension part?>https://x.com/i/status/2054406875748417699As much as I love toon accuracy, I still prefer my transforming robot toys/figs able to transform.
>>23860324Dag Fire is huge. Shouldn't it be. Closer in size to the ambulance and fire truck? I'm not even sure how you'll get it to fit in Fire Dagwon's chest.
>>23860705> I'm not even sure how you'll get it to fit in Fire Dagwon's chest.>https://x.com/horaieso/status/2054395509792784613?s=20Backpack and yes the chest can still fold.
>>23860016Looking good. Hopefully Choryujin will be more poseable than the 90's toy and the SOC.

>>23860705Braves do a lot of size changing with the J-Decker and Might Gaine crews being the notable exception. It's something that tends to mess up Exkaiser toys a lot because they want his car mode to be small enough to tow the King Roader.

https://twitter.com/yonetanikantoku/status/2055858753787048069
One reason I want to see more Dagwons is probably to see a "fixed" DagTurbo, because due to the limitations of the original figure, the backpack was attached to the legs. And since we got some technological improvements over the years (at the occasional sacrifice of some gimmicks), maybe they can make DagTurbo's backpack work as intended.
https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20260519_smpSMP Exkaiser.
All 8 SMP main Braves.
>>23871907Look better than the Aku ones that's for sure. Now that they have the basic instruction down I can easily see them doing SOCs.
https://twitter.com/yonetanikantoku/status/2056617950208282851
>>23871910Not all of them. If Good Smile has dibs on some of them, Bandai has to get the others. Though the only one left they could touch might be Dagwon.Good Smile has:>Fighbird>Da-Garn>Might Gaine>J-DeckerAnd if they might have the chance, they will make Goldran work compared to Bandai. Not exactly in the pure chrome gold that Gold Lightan had in Bandai and ArtStorm's hands, but if we'll still be stuck with the less shiny gold, then Good Smile will handle that.
Pictures.
>>23871961Bandai doesn't care, just look at how they're still pushing their SoC Exkaiser despite the fact that WE ALREADY HAVE THE TOYRISE. there's still other Braves that don't have figures that they should be making WTF ARE YOU DOING BANDAI you're just bad as Action Toy whose still pretending they're going to release the J-Decker they cancelled after seeing how much worse it was than Good Smile's version
>>23873178The Toyrise line has toy-like quality, so it's a different case entirely compared to SOC and THE GATTAI. If both will make their own versions, then things won't be any good at this rate. Though what am I saying when they both made their own version of Dancouga in both lines, all the way to Black Wing...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trPWwvoSvhs
>>23872034Were they waiting for big bro SOC department to normalize the lame frame?
Might Gaine and Kaiser are being rereleased on good smile. Last change to order granbird and fighbird too
>mfw finding out that Great Exkaiser's sword is actually a toy from The New Adventures of He-Man
>>23881160It doesn't look the same to me. Maybe a bunch of those swords have the same innards.
>>23881182
>>23881197
>>23881199LMAO it is. wtf. I didn't know Takara made the old He-Man toys.
>>23871907how do these compare to the kotobukiya kits?
>>23881808Better. These are a little below Moderoid standards, but have better thickness, fit, and joint quality than Koto kits.
>>23881201No, maybe took the design. The Great Kaiser Sword we got is much lamer than King Exkaiser's, and that one barely looked better when all you do with it is slap the Dragon Archery on the hilt. Every other Great weapon looked better and more involved.
https://x.com/i/status/2059907533184303282It's begun. Details will flow tomorrow, or whenever the next wave of T-SPARK reveals will be brought up.
>>23883746Oh wow they might actually make the gold shiny parts actual golden and shiny this time instead of that pee yellow plastic.I'm glad they're moving on to doing something other than GGG. Sadly not J Decker. Action toys might not even make theirs rip.
>>23881201They did license the OG MOTU line for distribution in Japan

https://x.com/i/status/2060360716562166209Better look at Fire Dagwon. What do you think?
The visuals.
>>23888168Basic pink recolor I guess it's fine, I'd appreciate some light remodeling but since this is a transformable figure that's too much of a fuss to mess with.
>>23890285Bump

Great Black Might Gaine.
>>23891584They seriously timed this to Mecha Smile Impact tomorrow, huh? Expect seeing a Black Might Kaiser Set to upgrade Black Might Gaine into Black Great Might Gaine as seen in the manga.On the topic of Sworgrader, this must be the climax of the Might Gaine arc. Now we go to predictions: What Brave series do you want to see next?
>>23891584Great Dash was playing at full volume in my head when I read these pages
https://twitter.com/koichi_tochika/status/2061767877116723233Tochika's Dagmemories: A Weapon?】"Back when we were recording, I would always stand in front of the mic, clenching my right hand into a fist and swinging it around wildly while actingThe seniors apparently couldn't join me on the same mic from the right sideThere was one time during a live take when I accidentally hit a senior's face with it⋯Since then, that acting style has been sealed away"
Tochika's Dagmemories.https://twitter.com/koichi_tochika/status/2052319861909627167"After recording sessions for Dagwon, it became a tradition to hold a lunch gathering at "Stone House."A time filled with unity among the voice actors and staff. Of course, we received acting advice, but also learned production behind-the-scenes stories while being entrusted to breathe life into the characters—the joy of that, as well as the weighty responsibilities, and so many other things we were taught"
https://x.com/i/status/2062141413379231958And so, my worst fears have been realized: Good Smile has overtaken Bandai in making all the Braves.
The chart.
>>23893546Glossed over Red Geist yesterday, but we got better looks of it today. Thoughts? And if anyone has the HasLab Deathsaurus, wanna compare the two?
>>23893456Still baffles me how hard Kotobukiya dropped the ball.Seven years since their announcement and they barely pushed out half of the main mechs and maybe one or two additional ones per series.
>>23893630Made me think this is something like a "sample size" kind of thing. Keep in mind, we are getting Super Fire Dagwon as a complete set, though we barely even get any further details other than the Power Dagwon parts can be removed to only reveal Fire Dagwon, with no word on whether or not Power Dagwon can be made on his own. If we are able to make Power Dagwon from the Super Fire Dagwon set (and in turn, makes the whole two robots in one package work), we might only get a separate Lian and Gunkid Set like what Bandai did, and give us a Lio Sword in the standard Koto Brave scale while still having them transform into the toy-style Lio Sword and Infinity Cannon.Low-key, with how much thrown their way for Dagwon nowadays for its 30th anniversary, I want to see it in any SRW, even for a late addition in DD now that they're moving forward with the whole continuous storyline setup they had throughout FMP, SEED Freedom, and 00 Season 2. I mean, we got Sworgrader in DD and I think Exkaiser as well, while also getting Da-Garn in Y as of recent, why not give us Dagwon now?
