Special Prize for PG 00 Raiser Revealed

Sort of actually.

If this special prize (特典) as mentioned from the source page is indeed the special prize for PG 00 Raiser as announced at the recent Chara Hobby 2009, many people would be disappointed I believe. ^^;

"PG ダブルオーライザー スペシャル台座特典付き ~ガンダム00(ダブルオー)シリーズ~"

PG Double O Raiser Special Display Base special prize included ~Gundam Double O series~

Just a display base? ^^;

If the display base is the special prize, does that mean there's no display base included for the regular release? ^^;



This piece of information is not available on other Japanese sites I know of yet, so you might want to hold on for confirmation and more information first.

November release, 26,250 Yen (inclusive of tax).

Soul of Chogokin The Big O & Expansion Set New Images

New images of Soul of Chogokin The Big O, as well as its Tamashii Web Shop limited expansion set:





The right arm shown on the right picture is from the expansion set - has splits on the arm to show off O Thunder.


The guns will move forward when the piston behind the arm is pressed.



O Thunder beam parts from the expansion set.


Two types of option hand units included for the original package. The chop-type palm in front is from the expansion set.




Two types of head included in the expansion set: The skeletal Arch-type (left), and the one which is slightly bigger (middle) than the one included for the original package (right).



4 Moby Dick Anchors (with 2 types of heads) included for the expansion set.


Roger Smith's car "Gryphon" is also available from the expansion set only.



The extended display base mounting all the unused parts, and the 4 parts linking The Big O with chains are from the expansion set.
The Big O will be released in late September at 13,440 Yen (inclusive of tax).

Pre-order for the expansion set started since August 11th. Closing date TBA. December release, 6,300 Yen (inclusive of tax).

The Big O is one of my favorite mecha anime actually, so you can say I'm quite tempted to get him as my first Soul of Chogokin. Then again, looking at this introduction, I really feel that the original package is very 肉酸 - stingy. ^^;

There are so many good stuff that are available only in the expansion set. At such a high price, I was expecting O Thunder to be in before seeing the Tamashii Web Shop announcement of the expansion set. The beam parts may be extra, but even Moby Dick Anchors, the very "basic" weapon The Big O uses a lot in the anime are only available in the expansion set.

And it's not enough too ^^; The big guy has anchor slot in every sharp edge of his waist (about 12 in total I believe), and only 4 are included. ^^;

As a matter of fact, one shouldn't call it "expansion" set anymore, but "missing" set instead.

The final weapon of The Big O in the anime, "The Big O" is neither included in the original package nor the expansion set. ^^; Maybe a second expansion set is coming? along with his underground transport train? That's going to put a big O on your face for a whole day if you're a fan XD
