Tokyo Toy Show 2017] Yuji Mitsuya was thrilled by the comments of Masako Nozawa, a senior member of the company! Even Maple Chogokin was excited at the presentation of "DX Soul of Chogokin Con Battler V

The Tokyo Toy Show 2017 is being held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 1 to 4, 2017.

This event, organized by the Japan Toy Association, is the largest toy exhibition in Japan and a big event featuring the latest toys from Japanese and international toy manufacturers. This year, June 1 (Thu.) and 2 (Fri.) are "business fair" days for business people, and the latter half of the show, June 3 (Sat.) and 4 (Sun.), is "open to the public" for general visitors.

On the first day of the Tokyo Toy Show 2017, a presentation of "DX Soul of Chogokin Con Battler V" was held at the Bandai booth.

Super Electromagnetic Robot Con Battler V" is an anime work that was broadcast on TV from 1976 to 1977, during the dawn of robot animation. The main character "Con Battler V," a robot with a combination and transformation gimmick that could be reproduced in toys, was well accepted by many children, and "Chogokin Con Battler V," a toy that realistically reproduced the transformation mechanism, was also a big hit at the time.

Since then, the "Con Battler V" has been updated intermittently, including commercialization in the "DX Chogokin" series and twice in the "Soul of Chogokin" series, and now the highest quality "Con Battler V" has been decided to be commercialized in the "DX Soul of Chogokin" brand, so the announcement was held with voice actor Yuji Mitsuya and the comedy duo "Maple Chogokin" as guests. The presentation was held with voice actor Yuji Mitsuya and comedy duo Maple Chogokin as invited guests.

As introduced on the official website ( # ), the appeal of this product is not limited to the realistically crafted battle mechanisms and robot forms, or the complex gimmick of combining them, but also lies in the sound gimmick, with character voices, sound effects used in the play, and BGM playing to reproduce various situations. The sound gimmick is also a key element of the product.

On this stage, guests introduced the appeal of this product to the audience.

The MC called on Kazu Laser and Natsu Ando of "Maple Chogokin" to appear first. Both of them were dressed in costumes with a big V on their chests. Kazu Laser, in his trademark bright red costume, portrayed the main character, Aoi Hyouma, and Ando, in a purple costume, portrayed the main character, Aoi Hyouma. Mr. Ando, in a purple costume, was inspired by Chizuru Minamihara, the red star of the main character's team (although he looks more like Daisaku Nishikawa, a gentle but powerful man. ......).

Kazu-Razor, who once applied for a job at Bandai, seems to be more passionate about robot toys, including Chogokin, than anyone else. He has sold several "Con Battler V" toys in the past, and at the news of the release of the "DX Soul of Chogokin" version, he squealed with delight, "I haven't even played with all the toys (that have been released so far) yet! I haven't even finished playing with all the toys that have come out so far!

The long-awaited "DX Soul of Chogokin Con Battler V" was then unveiled for the first time after a TV commercial film of the original "Chogokin" version that first appeared in 1976 was shown.

The audience was surprised by the quality of the figure, but a further surprise was dropped.

With the familiar call of "Let's Combine! Yuji Mitsuya, who played the main character, Leoma Aoi, 40 years ago, appeared on stage with the familiar call of "Let's combine! He then performed his special move, the "Super Electromagnetic Spin," on Mr. Ando's stomach, which greatly excited the audience.

Mr. Mitsuya was happy to hear that the main character robot from his masterpiece and debut work as a voice actor would be made into a toy, commenting, "I had a Chogokin back then, but I never thought it would be revived in such an elaborate form (40 years later).

In the latter half of the stage, a video message from voice actress Masako Nozawa, who plays the main character Loppet and narrates the PV of the product, was shown. In the message, Ms. Nozawa told a treasured episode in which Ms. Mitsuya, who tried voice acting in an anime for the first time, was unable to scream properly, and Ms. Nozawa advised her to scream with one foot in order to put more strength in her stomach. He also showed how he was surprised to see the gimmick that not only allows him to enjoy the combination and transformation, but also to hear various sounds.

Nozawa was surprised to see the gimmicks that not only allow the audience to enjoy the combined body and transformations, but also the various sounds that are available. I'll be following you, Masako Nozawa-sama! Mitsuya also commented affectionately, "I'll be following in your footsteps, Masako Nozawa-sama! The love between master and disciple was evident in this scene.
