Nice score. I've been looking for one of those Mini Voltrons. The Machineman ST was also a great find.

FYI - The one you see in the picture is going up on ebay tonight, in case you're interested.

what is this guy's real name. i see your box says Machineman. i had thought this guys name was Changeman but i have also seen it as Changerobo. what is the scoop on that. also you don't see this guy in the Godaikin catalog. was this line released for a short time? give us slow kids a quick history lesson.

You figured it out. Changeman is the Sentai name. Machineman is what it was called in the US release, which is strange because Machineman is the name of the dude that comes inside Machine Dolphin. They probaby reused the name because Changeman is lame, and they probably already had the rights. You've never seen it in one of the catalogs most likely beacuse you have to have one of the toys from this series in order to get the catalog for it. The catalog I have only came in Goggle Caesar - it may also have been in Shuttle Base and Machineman DX, but those are the last 2 I need. While Dancougar was released as a "Godaikin Forces" toy - his catalog actually is the older Godaikin one. Same with Daileon. You could call those the "Green Box" Godaikin forces. However, there are 4 "Red Box" Godaikin Forces toys that were allegedly released - Machineman DX, Machineman ST, Shuttle Base (Big Scale for Machineman) and Goggle Caesar (big scale for Goggle V). Strange that they would release the other Big Scale toys like Dyjupiter and Bio Dragon, but wait until the very end to release the one for Goggle V. At any rate - I'll have to scan that catalog. I had seen pictures (non catalog) of Goggle Caesar so I knew that came out. I have seen a VERY small thumbnail of Machineman DX so I'm somewhat sure that came out. However, I had never seen pictures of Machineman ST or Shuttlebase US releases. That's all I know. I need 3 more boxes - Daileon, Shuttlebase and Machineman DX and I'll be done.
