Here is the long awaited moment of truth! As the Holy Grail of SRW series, The Invincible Super Robot under heaven, SRX made a reappearance once again with Sentinel's Riobot series complete with Gattai Gimmick. Back then only Volks managed to make SRX with Gattai gimmick more than 10 years ago and now it is Sentinel's turn to do so. As expected the Riobot version of SRX just like other Sentinel's robot product, it cost a kidney considering it is tagged at the price of whopping 65000 Yen with December release schedule. So with that price, you got yourself SRX team Real Robot mecha; R-1, R-2 and R-3 which combined together to form the powerful Super Robot SRX.
The new version of SRX easily cost double of the Volk's but with inflation considered, i guess can be said that it is still within acceptable range. While i think the articulation of the individual SRX team mecha are still decent, I kinda doubt that SRX will be the same in particular the lower part, with the Gattai gimmick considered.
The release of the new version of SRX is huge deal because SRX is practically the Heart and Soul of SRW series which represent the culmination for the Passion of Mecha. While its glory days was gone already, the glowing embers still remains reminding of the fond memories of the awesome mecha series. 65000 Yen is kinda out of my range but i think i can still settle with something half of the price which perhaps Bandai could pull off something considering they probably have some plan with SRW series this year.
