The Soul of Chogokin GX-31SP Voltes V CHOGOKIN 50th Ver. is a re-release with a commemorative twist. Silver parts receive a plating treatment that nods to the original Chogokin line, while the paintwork follows the earlier GX-31V but adjusted to an anime style. The Bolt Cruiser adds white lines on the head, a reference to the Popy-Nica era, and the Bolt Bomber's elbow and forearm colors shift to blue per the original settings.
The figure stands about 250mm tall, made of ABS, PVC, and die-cast. A new joint lets the Eagle Machine connect to the others, and the Voltes heavy tank mode is still reproducible. Pre-orders begin Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at general retail stores. The price is 33,000 yen including tax, with a scheduled release in January 2027.
