The overlords at the Bandai Collectors Division decided that it's not enough to parade around new kits at Shizuoka without showing off their great line of action figures. Teased around for months has been the unveiling of a new chogokin line of figures. The new line was formally announced today as Super Robot Chogokin. The figures will resemble Bandai's popular of Soul of Chogokin line, but will be around 6 inches in height and feature PVC and ABS plastics alongside die-cast metal.

To usher in the new line, the first figure detailed is Mazinger Z, who will be priced at 3675 yen in August. Alongside will be a separate weapons pack, loaded with effect parts, released on its own for 1050 yen. The following month will see the release of Great Mazinger, coming in at 4725 yen. The last of the known releases will be Super Robot Wars OG's Alteisen, which will be available for an October release for 5040 yen.

The best part of this line has yet to be fully announced, but by judging from the prototype samples on display, this could end up being a tremendous line-up. Daizengar, Gear Fighter Dendoh, Cybuster, Raideen and God Raideen, Sun Vulcan, and Shin Ken-O are all figures that I could easily want right this moment. I'd kill a man if they promised me a Dragon Cesar (Dragonzord) in this line. Seriously, I'd do it.

This line-up holds a ton of promise and looks to remain in a decent price range. What super robots or sentai mechs would you kill for in this line?
