    Default Korean Tobots

    just saw the review by vangelus of Tobot Adventure Z

    damn they look really good for a kid friendly transformer toy a lot better than what hasbro currently offers.

    It's like the Tonka truck of Transformers.
    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    You do realize that these are made for CHILDREN right?

    I have the earlier, smaller X and Y tobots. They look great but are loose, floppy and made of thin plastic.

    Adventure Z looks like a marked improvement. I'd be tempted to buy it if it was available in a smaller size.

    Hmm... It doesn't seem to be like for children, it looks half arse serious.
    Like I said I am not bashing it, just saying is okay.

    Well seeing as it is for the KOREAN market. How can you even say that?
    It totally looks like its for children. Its even on the box for children 4yrs+

    The bot looks awesome. A lot better then anything hasblow can muster. Hell even looks tons better then some Transformers.

    I think you're too spoiled with Japanese bots that you have. Its like you're expecting such great things from a toy that gears towards 4yr old Korean children.

    These are really cool. But at $75 a pop. Man, expensive kids toys. They really do look great.

    Just going through all the youtube videos noticed that the show for this toyline has been running for 16 seasons?! How long is a tv season in Korea? It also has a loose spin-off based around bicycles/sentai/mecha and the zodiac and there's another show featuring funny animals that turn into sentai and pilot vehicles that change into robots.

    These guys have done well!
