The bot is a legend in Phil Mecha lore - one of the anime victims of Martial Law and Im a martial law baby hehehe:p
^^ pretty damn nice. I do like the modern versions. He has some sweet/crazy alt modes..:)
Got this guy today. Bit rough around the edges and his hand has been swapped out (i think he's meant to have a missile firing hand) But still, good to have a jumbo version of the mini that started it all:)

@Ispayks & VGM: COOL!!!
That's an awesome looking Mecha there Ispayks, very classic looking and whom would seem to share facial cues with that of Voltron! :eek::cool:
VGM, you've gotta post more photos of that Zord dude! - He's one that I'd very much like to obtain myself (Probably the Western version though ;)) as it was with him that my Power Rangers interest ended as a kid. :D
Sure thing Hursticon. Here you go! I have always wanted this one, but held out till I found a decent version of him without any missing parts. Lucky I found this one.Quote:

Thanks VGM, man he is so sweet looking; I've always liked him because he has reminded me for years of another gestalt/combining Mech from another toyline that had a very similar scheme - i.e. several Humanoid robots that essentially "Tucked themselves in" to form the various limbs...
Have never seen said figure again and was way too young to know its name either, that custom mistransformed bloke of yours looks interesting too! :cool:
I've only just realised i had the other missile for Posieden but got rid of it in a lot:( oh well
Raider is very cool.
I think i asked once before but are Posieden's legs meant to be backwards??. they all seem to be assembled this way
If anyone is selling this kind of stuff let me know:)

@Geiger: Those are some stunning classic Mecha toys dude, absolutely superb nic :cool: - I shudder to think of their price. :eek:
Cheers Hursti.. They're not too bad actually. I picked up the little shoguns from Redstarrobot on sale (cheaper than i found similar items in Singapore) Boxed one was $59au and the loose one was $25, I bought a little red-puncher for the GF for 5 bucks too:D.. Gaiking was a bit more (190,.cough.. euro.,.cough)but postage from the Eurozone was the real killer:( I don't want to talk about it:o:pQuote:

The other 2 in the photo Dragun (red guy) loose, was under 100. Goldorak or Grendizer (i think he answers to both names) was closer to 200 (loose) but you can see he is wearing someone else's arm (I think it's Gaiking's but i have a batch of arm attachments/replacements on their way) He always seems to be more expensive than the others, in any size.
I got Raiden and Mazinger boxed for 120 and 100 respectively.. locally too which was nice .
I'm pretty sure these 5 are the more common ones.
Finally after a year!, thanks to Ispayks..
Voltes V :D:D

Oh wow Liege! :eek:
Is that from the 'Soul of Chogokin' line? - Voltes V is definitely a stunning Super Robot that's for sure, congrats on his acquisition dude! :D
i love those shoguns
ive got all the shogun warrior giant line inc godzilla, however i need the bird raideen i think its called. i have quite a few metal ones also. there such a brilliant line. those images of the newer looking guys with all the articulation look just brilliant.
Nice . I'd love to see some pictures... i'm a big fan of the Soul of chogokin stuff.Quote:

I mean Voltes and Voltron look like they do pretty much the same thing so i thought it might mean combine or join or something.
got another one. The whole wrong arm thing annoyed me (on the first one) a bit so i got some arm upgrades too

I'd love to see some updated collection pics, if only of the Japanese Super Robots purely to save time! :D
Yeah, they cost quite a bit Hursty which is why Im limiting myself to just the big 3 I grew up mostly on.. Voltez V, Mazinger Z and Daimos.... Im 1/3 of the way there to completion hehehe:D
Especially if you're going after this particular Mazinger Z: DX Mazinger Z :eek:Quote:

All these shiny robots are making me drool. And making me miss my diecast toynami Voltron that fell off a shelf and did not survive.
I just love looking at the pics of the old stuff. I had most of it as a kid. All but two giant ones are gone. Oh the memorys :-)
I remember those in the toy shops in the mid to late 70's:oQuote:

I have one that has a solid V on his chest instead of the 2 separate chest pieces. ? When i search for Mazinger both types come up. Maybe one is an updated version or something.Quote:

I'll have to watch the show one day:o
(i'll dig the team out soon too, I can't wait to actually get a group shot , should be awesome:p)
Yeah that sounds like the one I had and he had swords that fit into his legs?Quote:

Fun fact. Did you know what was used in the feet to weigh them down and stop them from falling over? Inside of each foot is a bag of LEAD POWDER :rolleyes: :eek: hahahaha Take that safety police. 70s and 80s kids were tough :D
I just found that out the other day!! i had to do some repairs on one. It looks like a little bottle of graphite (when i say little, it's about 6 inches long) I had no idea it was lead!, and it's inserted upside down to bootQuote:
