It is very popular in Japan. This is not the first toy of this structure, although I do believe its the first robot / transforming version of it.

I bought the revoltech version for a friend (only tower mode) when I was in Tokyo. The shape is nice and great value for 20th Century Boy fans. -> go read this great manga. I didn't noticed it's gonna be a chogokin item... Gorgeous !

Huh. I'm guessing that the real thing doesn't turn into a robot? Whatever the case, I have a hard time getting around the geekiness of this thing to call it an "art" toy. Its certainly as wacky as any sentai villain.

You know, if I had space and room for that in my collection (and cash!) I would buy that. I love when the cultural stuff of Japan sort of blends with sub-genres. Just the sort of funky, quirky thing I dig. Really enriches the collection.
And c'mon, RJ! You know how funky Bandai, and Japanese toy companies in general like to get by now. Lol!

Given the choice between this guy or the Threezero Junkzinger, I would take this one in a flash. At least it is original... }D

That was actually based on an anime called basquatch. This is based on the model kitbash linked earlier in the thread. I know but they are 2 of the worst wastes of metal Ive ever seen. MY GOD what is this? Lets take some spare Michael Jordan 1/6 sneakers off his figure and his ball,and put them on a hotwheels car glued to some hydrolics with clown gloves.It isnt even a transformer?its just a car stuck on spare toy parts,where is teh head? wow,Ive never seen something this terrible,sorry those of you who own this or like it,but for me its just really BAD.It is so not cool.Not totally off topic,just comparing two very unpallattable toys. Could someone who likes this explain why? seriously why?what is appealing about this toy.I love hating on this thing.LOL.Do you guys have a certain toy that you just HATE?? we should do a thread on it!

Do you guys have a certain toy that you just HATE?? See, the thing is, I don't hate toys for simply existing. If I see toy that I don't like, I simply won't buy it. I think you're much more entitled to hate a toy that you actually DID buy, if it turns out to be a massive disappointment. Cause if you bought a toy knowing it's a stinker...well, you've only yourself to blame.

Well, this is not something you see everyday. A bit on the "weird" front for me. I usually will be head-over-heals for anything gokin by Bandai that is robot/mecha-related...but, I think I'll pass? 17,000JPY is the MSRP. Pics from CollectionDX... Now I know why ET was so desperate to phone home: So he could try this new toy on his girlfriend. zozo-mag
