I just saw this in one of my friend’s FB post – the Super Robot Wars Z PSP game is now available at Amazon Japan.

Sad to say for fans of the SRW franchise like me, the English version is still not available.

If you are wondering about the size differences among the SOC’s available right now, then maybe this post can help you. Throughout the years, the Soul of Chogokin figures have introduced evolutions of previously released robots and even downsized some of them by giving us Econo-Chogokins, or the smaller versions with lesser armaments or add-ons.

So as for those still wondering what to buy but is very particular with the size of their mecha collections then check this image out:

Size Comparison for SOC's

As you can see, the new econo-sized Chogokins, Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, are 2 to 3 inches smaller than the original SOC. Tobikage and Kurojishi meanwhile is still the normal Chogokin size but is also still smaller compared to Voltes V, Dancouga, Daimos and Combattler V.

And for those also collecting Macross Figures/Robots, then maybe I can also show you the size comparison for Yamato’s VF 11B versus SOC’s Dancouga:
