Here's the image, courtesy of Zinc Panic. It's got a "spikey" surface(that's why it looks like a board with a lotta nails) Reminds me of the "meat tenderizing" mallet my mom used to use to soften up porkchops. . Anyone know the story behind Gold Lightan? Gold

Hehe, relax, that a pic of the unpainted prototype. BTW, here's an interesting article posted by Zinc panic stating that there is a possibility that could be[glow=red,2,300]two more[/glow] Lightans after this one. www.zincpanic.com/article/24086.htmlOh maaaaaaan.... Gold

Okay, this stupid lighter/meat tenderizing thing will definitely break my cycle of buying every single SOC. I will defintiley buy Voltes V and that may be it for a while. Of course I will get Daimos if it ever comes out.
Man, they should not release this lighter robot as an SOC. But maybe it's a blessing because I'll spend less on this obsession of mine.

hey dont say that. I love lightan... I have the complete collection of the lightans. I would love to have it just to compare. I did buy the hung hing brand simply because its not bandai... Now if they had that lightan with plast legs, I would pass. But, if the content is similar to my old lightan, its a go for me..

the key word there is "depending on sales" ... i think only SOC completists will get gold lightan... ;D ... i'm more excited about the part about "raideen" ;D Hehe, relax, that a pic of the unpainted prototype.

yeah... I think lightan is for hardcore fans. I've never seen the anime.. its very out there. I can appreciate the concept for being new and original for its time... but man is that weird. I guess its a really extremely cool, and deffinitely your hero.. if you're a pot smoker! GOLDEN WARRIOR - THE GOLD LIGHTAN 52 thirty-minute episodes. Hiro finds what appears to be a broken lighter in an empty field. This lighter, actually the Gold Lightan, has fallen to Earth from the Robot Dimension, in another place and time. Normally, the Golden Lighter remains in this compact disguise, except when called upon to defend the Earth from Ivalda the Great's attacking robots, whereupon it changes into a giant robot, the Golden Warrior, Gold Lightan, by traveling along the Rainbow Road. Gold Lightan joins forces with Hiro's gang to defend the Earth against Ivalda the Great's armored force's impending attack....

I like the fact that Bandai is stretching a bit in what it chooses to become a SOC. It just means that the SOC line will have a huge well of choices of what will become a future SOC's if the possibilities were expanded.
Besides give Lightan a chance, I heard the same grumblings when the Eva's were announced too Zambot too Xabungle too BFJ. If Lightan turns out to be nothing more than a posable brick with no accessories, he'll atleast be a posable DIECAST brick with no accessories.

I am happy to see the Lightan become a SOC. I have the GB-37 Gold Lightan, and at first I thought he was kinda dumb, but then he grew on me and is now one of my favorites. I'll buy this one quick....and hopefully bandai will make right what they have make wrong in the GX-09 MAB...grrrr I still need to get better pics....maybe tonight.

Zetaking: We were talking about Lightan on the "Who would buy this..." thread. You have all eleven of these guys? WOW! JB just posted some pics of one he just scored that has a blinking light gimmick. What other kinds of gimmicks do the various Lightans have? JWM

I wonder how many Lightans were there? I remember seeing more than one version of this toy. Hehe, maybe it'll come with a clear red plastic "flame" accessory when you display it in "lighter" mode.

one lightan has a compass, one has map, one can become a stamp, its just alot of neat little features. In fact, thats what got me back into this hobby. cuz originally, all that was left of my collection when I was a kid was the gb-37 lightan... you guys wont believe what my mom threw away.... ga-50 daiku with gaiking combo popy, daimos, dairtan 3, and alot of vintage mint models.... Man, that is why I am have somewhat of a completist attitude towards collecting. It is simply because that losing all those lovable toys just was so traumatic for me. Anycase, when I get a chance, i will post some pics of my complete collection. in 2001, those pieces werent really that expensive. But,now it seems to have gone up in price as well. Good thing my wife is somewhat accepting my collection because she knows that I am not blowing money on lap dances and such... ;D
