The robot mode looks pretty good. I don't quite get the connection on the ship mode: A flying sphinx? Must be....... Spiderman! ![???](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/huh.png) No- just doesn't add up, JWM

Leopard....Leopardon.
But why such animal for Spider-Man?

zman: It's one of those inexplicable mysteries of the Japanese imagination. Spiders- leopards- sphinx like flying machines- giant robots- and a masked kung-fu super hero with a Jetsons looking space car....
Go figure.

It's the colours that do it for me, it's unusually un-garsih for a sentai robot. If I can spare the money then I think I'll buy one.

It's not a sentai bout, it's a tokusatsu bot. However it did directly influence the Super Sentai Mecha theme.

I was able to download an episode of this japanese spiderman show and it was a fun show to watch actually. But I think I am going to pass on this SOC. ![:-X](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/lipsrsealed.png)

I like it ;D But I am curious to know how tall it's going to be. It's priced similarly to Xabungle. It transforms, like Xabungle. I'm just worried it's going to be a bit on the small side, like Xabungle ![:-/](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/undecided.png)

Hehe, "Leopards and Spiders and Bots, OH MY!" ![:P](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/tongue.png) What a zany combination. Like JWM said, this sure is one of those peculiar Japanese creations - that none of us can live without. ;D I too can't wait to see a size comparison beside a familiar SOC.

FYI...ship mode is called "Marveller" or Marvela. In honor of Marvel comics. I kid you not.

GALBOT and I reckon he is totally boss and will be getting one to guard the stereo alongside battle fever (or tetsujin...it's a toss up)

I'm pretty sure I'll be picking this guy up. I had the old ST robot for the longest time, so it'll be nice to have this guy back in the house in SOC form! Around how much is he anyway?
