Hiroya Ishimaru, who plays Koji Kabuto in the Mazinger Z television anime series, narrates the English-subtitled video, which discusses the history of the Chōgokin figures. The video also introduces the new DX Soul of Chōgokin Mazinger Z figure, which is being released in commemoration for the 40th anniversary of the Mazinger Z series. The figure will feature removable armor, and a hangar base that can display the removable armor parts. The figure also lights up. The figure will ship in December 2012, and will retail for 36,750 yen (about US$465).
The Tiger & Bunny promotional video has voice actors Masakazu Morita and Hiroaki Hirata as their characters Barnaby and Kotetsu discussing the chibi-arts figure line for the series. The two introduce the interchangeable parts and accessories that are bundled with the figures. The figures are 10 centimeters tall and will retail for 3,465 yen. The Kotetsu figure will ship on June 30 and the Barnaby figure will ship in July.
