As part of Bandai’s increasingly infuriating Tamashii Web shop exclusives, they have finally announced that they’ll be releasing Soul of Chogokin Spec toys of both the Dragonar 2 and 3 units from Metal Armor Dragonar. Now, Dragonar has had somewhat of a resurgence since it was featured in all three of the PS2 Another Century’s Episode games (though it had obviously been featured in a multitude of Super Robot Wars games prior to that). Up and till this point however, Bandai had only released toys of the Dragonar 1, specifically two variants of the design; one with original proportions from the show and another that was stylised by Masami Obari. These new toys obviously seem to fall into the latter Obari stylised camp, not that we’re complaining. At present it’s not clear whether these toys will also sport the “lifters”, backpacks with wings on effectively, that were used in the show but we may see more options surface in the oncoming months. Both toys will be released in December, though you’ll obviously have needed to pre-order them online first. Personally, we’re holding out for the day when they finally release a Dragonar 1 Custom.

Yeah it always baffled me why we got 3 different designs of the original Dragonar 1 but never the Custom. That was just begging to be made in the now sadly dead Real Robot Revolution line.
Personally I think the last two Dragonar 1 figures are the closest we’ll get to the Custom unless the Robot Damashii line rectifies that sometime this year. We just have to make do without the Photon Bazooka and live with weird design choice of having the Opening Silhouette version’s lifter covering the chest crest.
