They're called shogun warriors or Machinders. i got a few small ones in a lot once and have been collecting em a bit ever since. i'm not sure if that particular one fires his fist but i'm sure there would be a version that does.
there are tiny versions about 3 inches and jumbos at 23 inches.
Those 2 are my first ones at that size. :) (medium version about 5 inches)
Actually i think there are smaller jumbo's as well

Ahhh... thanks Geigerrock-2 :) They're the ones. Mine is the one on the left which I think is the same as the one in your pic. See the arm with the yellow button on it; that fires off the fist. The axe also shoots out of his other hand (I don't think I have the axe anymore...).

Has there ever been any fiction behind these e.g. show, comic etc. Just wondering the reason why my parents bought me one all those years ago. I probably just thought it was cool and wanted one :D

Yeah i think there must have been a show or something (maybe in the 70's). That one is called Dragun. there's heaps of them .
Mazinger, Grendizer , Raiden, Gaiking. I think Gigantor or tetsujin28 was one of them too (but may that have been another show) Some of the rarer ones fetch a mint. The other one in the pic is called Posieden , his legs are on backwards but they are also pictured backwards on Draguns box too. not sure if they were like that in the show or if it was a factory error:confused::)

just got him out..... My god that fist flys off!! (currently trying to fish it out from under the fridge:p) The axe mechanism doesn't work on mine anymore:( would've been good in it's day though:rolleyes:

Super Robot Chogokin Gokaioh. Pirates = AWESOME.

Probably the best robot figure I've seen in a while:
DORAEMON! I've been wanting that for ages, it's soo cute and rather versatile. (magnets in the hands so he can hold his stuff. Clever)

And the Rio:Bot Gurren Lagaan. Love the look, hate the price. Nice box presentation, although the figure itself look small inside, it has a fair few accessories.

Gonna have to open when I get home methinks, although I should check them I guess.

Oh and new Camera. After 8 years, my normal one has been playing up a bit lately.

Wow really love that box art for Rio:Bot Gurren Lagaan. mine should arrive soon. And ya I agree price is a bit high.

Wow. Some impressive hauls. I wouldn't mind owning 1 Macross fighter, but they are always just out of reach of my budget. Just.

My July AmiAmi order just arrived :)

I managed to get the Marvel Legends for less than retail price shipped. Very happy with that.

I really wanted to get Canti but he's way to expensive for such a small figure.
