Hi there.
Just bought a real cheap KO of Great Five from Maskman, and I mean real cheap (and Nasty). But I can see the potential there. Anyone got any links to pics of the real toy or indeed, know where I might be able to purchase one? I've seen a couple on Toysee but they look almost (but not quite) as nasty.
Cheers.

Hi Rancemeister.  I may be able to help with pictures. One of these days (soon) I will do a pictorial for you. It is such a great robot design isn't it . Hey, is your knock-off made in China or Korea? Post a picture when you can or send one to admin@robot-japan.com . I would be happy to post the pic for you. Ed |

Oh yeah, I have to agree, Great Five is one of the good looking fellas, and the colour combination is really nice.  |

MY boot still hasn't arrived, I'm afraid. Hopefully later today. I can't post pics myself but when it gets here I'll take some and email them to you, if that's cool.
Later.

Just got the boy and snapped some pics. It's really quite nasty and small, but I reckon I could come to love it for all it's faults. As to the manufacturer, there is a company logo on the front that says NIPCO . The back of the packaging says it's copyrighted in 1999 to a NPD Limited and is Made in China. There is also a sticker on the back that says NIKKO U.K. Limited and gives it's address. All the packaging text is in English. The toy itself has some very dodgy stickers and paint apps and is made of the shoddiest plastics imaginable, but it has all it's accessories and the combination\transformation works well enogh and all the joints are good and stiff. So, it's not too bad all in all, I'll probably remove the stickers and re-paint it.
