Combattler - the more, the merrier!

[KingboyD]

I was going through my stuff, and took this shot of 3 Combattlers together.





Two aren't in the best of shape, but its not often you get to see an army of these. BTW, I'm going to offer 1 for sale soon, so if anyone is interested, PM me.


So I was piecing together the best one possible, and I made a discovery on different versions. I'm not sure if anyone ever posted about this (I don't remember ever seeing anything), and I'm not really sure which is the prior version (be it version 1 and 2, or version 2 and 3, or ...).

Here's what I found...

The hands do not fit both figures! One (I'll call this one version 1 for the remainder of this discussion) has 4 equal length slots, while the other (version 2) has 2 long and 2 short slots. Version 2 is in the middle of the top photo, and version 1s are on each end.

Here's a close-up of the hand slots:




Also, the stickers on the tracks and chest are also different.

Version 1:




Version 2:




Version 1:




Version 2:




There are probably more differences, but these are the ones that jumped out at me before I had to move on to other things. Anyone care to add to this discussion?

If you make it to the RJ summit we can open up a Combattra Godaikin, Shogun set, then Combattler in box to compare

Show off!!

Actually, sounds great! I can't wait for the summit. Can you tell what one of my favorite toys is?

Its interesting that they changed the fist connections. This isn't like a Unifive vs. original Popy issue, where they did not want to promote false representations of vintage items. These were all vintage, and while Popy certainly changed features between versions (the Getter Poseidon is a classic example), I don't recall off-hand them changing something like this where the new attachments no longer fit the old versions.

It's a knock-off. So sell it to me now for $10 and we will both forget what happened.

Hi all, for my first post I may as well throw in two cents on Combattra. I noticed different face paint combos of blue/grey. There seem to be both yellow, and white colors to the flippylock levers for the heel pivot release. As for the arm attachments, cross, or ''plus'' style generally found in newer(relatively) models.
