(shamelessly ripped from CollectionDX, thanks Josh!) This year is indeed a good year for gokin, as we are seeing more and more unexpected characters are being portrayed in gokin form ;D ;D! For Dr. Slump fans, Megahouse plans to produce a Caramelman no. 1 (Dr. Mashirito's robot henchman) Gokin (labeled Perfect Piece Metal Caramel Man No.1) in May 2008. Ready to pound Arale and her buddies, the 'bot will stand at approx. 16cm/6.3", featuring a docking bay and battery backpack, and an included Dr. Mashirito will be able to fit in the torso. This product will retail for 12,800 Yen. Check for pictures here: www.1999.co.jp/eng/10067479Does anybody have any experience with Megahouse products?

That's neat. They should've made more mechs from Dr. Slump world!
Too bad it's out of stock.

Yeah, they quit making them a while ago. I got mine 3 or more years ago.
I bet there are all kinds of Slump figures we never even saw.
I have been wanting to watch the Show, the magna is one of the few I enjoy reading.

wow those are awesome! I've never seen it before! wait Megahouse is the same company that does Panda Z. a offshoot company of Bandai I believe.
I have both Panda Z in diecast and vinyl! very awesome in fact! The Diecast is worthy to be considered SOC!

Oh yeah! I remember them making the Panda Z gokin not long ago (and the reviews were favorable). So this is not their first attempt in making chogokin product.
Kid, do you remember how much the Panda z gokin retails for?

Hmm well thats a bit harder for me to say. At the time I paid $90 with tax and everthing for Panda Z. But the Canadian dollar's value is on par with the american right now. (that was 4 years ago and I can't remember how much the cunnuck dollar was worth back then). but I see at HBJ it's about $54.22 What a steal!!!!! thats so worth it. If anyone hasn't gotten a Panda Z Chogokin I say it's well worth it. www.hlj.com/product/MEG80349JOsh did a review of it. You can find it here www.collectiondx.com/node/508

woah thats a steal totally get it.. it's pretty solid. Theonly thing I wish you could get.. is all the cool attachments that other pandaz figures had. I believe thesuper posable one.. and the vinyl had other fist attachments
