Full Version: Prototype pic of GX-28 Xabungle
Looks sweet but the scale of this model still intrigues me.. Early unconfirmed reports placed the Xabungle at roughly 10-12cm in height...
smooth...
When I first saw the anime artwork of Xabungle, it struck me as a ugly and bulky robot design.. Never had I expected Bandai to refine the design to such a professional level. SOC collectors had initially dismissed Xabungle as uninteresting and unexciting but now that looks set to change..
OMG... quite cool leh...
yeah, never doubt Bandai's to reinvent the combiners... sweet!
"Old school" looking yet cool! 
Sweet!! What am i saying.. 
Will have to check out the final colors before i may change my mind and get it.
Cheers

Tink the main color would be in lite Blue...
what really worries me is the scale of the model. If I'm not mistaken , Xabungle will be smaller and shorter than most of the SOCs'. It will look utterly out of place with my SOC collection.. 
However, it might complement the 1/144 scale gundam models.

i am more impressed by the convoy mode...
i think it'll be somewhere along the lines of combatler's height, maybe slightly shorter...
There's another robot that comes with the Xabungle...
I am confident that, with the release of Xabungle, Bandai will proceed thereafter to release more robots in the Dougram line...
can u imagine a Dougram. wow.
can u imagine a Dougram. wow.
Not sure if the pricing been posted... :

Yen7140... hmmm... for a combiner... looks like it might be significantly shorter than Combatler and Zambot...
Xabungle is supposed to be smaller. This suggests that there will be an SOC for the big red robot (the one with the legs that split in two).
looks like xabungle will only be released in late August 2005. That means the current SOC releases will be abt 2 mths apart. Gaiking in early May, GX-04S reissue in July. gd for us. if not really dry up like crazy man!
spacing is good... heh...
time to get some savings going this year...

My hope is that they will do him in anime color..dark navy blue..somewhat like the color of diaclone magnus...otherwise i may forgo him even though the sculpt is enticing.

Prototype pics are out....

The shoulder and ankle articulation look very very good indeed
Yes looks very posable much like MG grade articulation and better cos it's diecast
the design looks very polished, a big transformation from the blockhead vintage, and the shoulder-mounted arsenal looks pretty cool.
i wonder if the additional robot is posable as well. hope it is not just a fixed pose figure.
WOW!! Nice!!
I remember owning one of this before when i was still a kid.
Soooooo much nostalgia flooding back *sigh*
Anyway.. I have placed my order for this piece liao! wooohooo!!

Nice design...dunno about the die-cast content.
Anyone know how tall this dude's gonna be?

i thought somewhere someone has posted some prototype pics that seems to indicate this thing would be about 7" tall...
the design is good the articulation and metal content make it even better

Well, the first blueprint of Xabungle indicated that GX-28 will have a height of 105mm which is incredibly short for a SOC product...However, the blueprint is rather old and changes could have already been made to the product...
actually, i find it quite hard to believe you can get that much articulation out of a combiner that's only 10cm tall...

wel...Studio Half Eye's Gravion mecha are small at 12cm and they still retain their articulation so not much of a surprise mah..

Tsk..
.Xabungle isn't really a combiner. It's more of a transforming model.And GX-28 comes with not one but 2 models, Xabungle and Broccoli.
Lastly, Xabungle(6800-7400yen) is expected to cost even less than Gaiking(9000+yen)... If you take these into consideration, it is quite possible that Gaiking might only have a height of 105mm.. Remember Zambot Ace(GX-23A) ?? It' short(!) but it's poseable and comes loaded with accessories.
If you don't believe me, just search the web... There are numerous sources out there referring to the size of Xabungle....

chill la, it was just a casual comment. not doubt anyone's integrity. in fact, i don't even know who commented on the height initially.
I just pre-ordered my Xabungle and the selling price of GX-28 is in 2 digits(board regulations, cannot name the exact price 
)... I was taken aback by the low cost of GX-28. Of course, the product is still months away from release so there could be changes to its' price tag just like what happened to GX-27(GX-27 initially cost 6800yen but bandai later rised its' price to 9000+yen). Let's hope that Xabungle remains affordable.
Well, Kane, I was a little too harsh with my comments. Sorry.

Xabungle may not be popular with most of the SOC collectors but nonetheless, I believe that diecast collectors with eventually come to accept its' unique design.
I think it should be populate when the actual colour release..
