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....
Who in Japan had the balls to pitch this idea to someone?

Just a few days ago, I encountered an article on the net about a gold lightan bootleg which almost exactly looks like the real thing.
There were comparisons made with the toy and the boxes.
I have been trying to find the page, but have not been successful yet. Once I do, I will post it here.

I believe Ming did the reproductions and dam they are good. I have not been able to compare models, but this is the bottom line I heard-- Box printing uses a modern method and you can see special dot patterns on the reproduction. The knees on the repro are more bent than the first Popy toy. I think Tom of cooljapanesetoys.com has a review to check out. -Ed

Ming is just a HK collector/ reproduction artist. Some people have been "taken" by his products. I can not vouch for his reputation, but simply know he makes reproductions.
BTW, Getta Robot 3 has yet to be reproduced. I think after GR 1 didn't sell well it wasn't worth it.
