“Soul of Chogokin GX-24R Tetsujin 28-go” is based on the original “GX-24” version released in September 2004 and newly includes a speaker that can play the iconic theme song of the TV anime aired in Japan from 1963 to 1966, a BGM “Shotaro no March,” and a sound effect of Tetsujin’s roar, and a display base.
BANDAI SPIRITS’ Collectors Division has started accepting pre-orders for a refined version figure of Tetsujin 28-go, the main robot from Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s classic manga of the same name in the mid-1950s and its TV anime adaptation (Gigantor in the US).
The 160 mm-tall item’s scheduled shipping date is November 2018.
