Tobikage is one of the many forgotten Mecha series by Japan but out of the blue is given another chance by China. Picked up by a Chinese studio named Sky x Studio, Tobikage is given a Diecast Robot treatment. No scale information is given at the moment, but the Preorders will be opened starting from Chinajoy event with 1288 RMB Price tag thus the size shouldn't be much different than your typical Metal Build.
On Hindsight, Tobikage was one of those 80s Mecha anime that were wasted by the incessant Toy sales pursuit of their sponsor. The series just don't have much things going despite Tobikage got some decent looking mechas and as long as the Articulation department is handled well, this SXD Gokin Tobikage will be one of the definitive products for Tobikage surpassing Bandai's old Soul of Chogokin. Looking on the track record, Sky X Studio did some Diecast product for classic mecha series ranging like Tekkaman Blade, Getter Robo and Mazinger so they can be trusted to know what they are doing. I wonder if Sky x Studio will be interested to continue on the Tobikage's Animal mechas which do appear to require more overhead and efforts .
