I like Pegas better than Tekkaman and I think it would really have been better to get a diecast Pegas instead of a plastic one. With the upcoming Tekkaman figure do any of you think that Bandai will do a diecast Pegas?

After seeing this on Amiami for $54, I'm going to pick it up. I've been waiting for good versions of the Tekkaman figures forever and this is much, much better than anything else so far. The old models were fairly poor quality and the old, old Korean figures had no details, so I'm actually really glad to see new Tekkaman stuff making its way. I hope they make an evil Tekkaman too!

Fair warning, with the current exchange rate it's actually closer to $60-65, plus shipping.

Hi all, I know this is a bit late but I finally managed to get the Soul Spec XS-12 Tekkaman Blade with Pegas set, here's a quick review. Please click on the thumbnails to view larger images. Please click on images to begin video playback. Box Tray Opening Opening 2 Tek Set! Tekkaman Blade! Tek Lancer TekShield Voltekka Pegas Tekkaman eventually loses his ability to transform due to his crystal being shattered in battle, henceforth, it was only through merging with Pegas that D-Boy could transform into Tekkaman Blade. Pegas Tek Set! Bandai cheated a little here, you can't fit in Tekkaman as is, you have to swap out the head with the unpainted dummy head due to the antennae. But I prefer to not attach a head at all, since the neck peg might get damaged with repeated wear and tear. Pegas Flight mode Pegas opens up just like in the Anime to allow Tekkaman Blade to pop out quickly after transforming, but sadly, there's no "eject" button or gimmick here to pop out Tekkaman Blade. (I think?). Display base (if you'll notice above in the Tek Lancer image, you can stand the display base differently and make it look like the background prop. ) High Colt Voltekka The Good-Tekkaman's very posey! -Height -Diecast parts are -The pin in Tekkaman's ankles -Pegas' biceps, thighs (hollow) and back part of the torso. -Pegas weighs roughly 400 Grams while the Tekkaman weighs 80-100Grams. The Bad-Possible breakage point? I gotta say, the long, skinny necks on those plastic wrist pegs don't look durable to me. -Almost no diecast on Tekkaman Blade -Unpainted extra head. -Really hard to get the TekLancer into the fists, possible damage later due to repeated weapon swaps (just like in the SOC Battle Fever J) The UglyHmm.. nothing terrible here, just the obvious lack of diecast on Tekkaman Blade. But thankfully the toy doesn't break or anything that extreme (yet). In conclusion, not a bad Soul Spec figure, but it is relatively very pricey. Each Spec release seems more expensive than the last and comes with less and less diecast, it is becoming disappointing to a certain level. But if you're a Tekkaman Blade fan, then this figure won't disappoint Closing Credits Gold

Thanks Gold! Maybe I should stop by and see your collection the next time I am in the Philippines. And you are more than welcome to see my collection if you are ever in New England.
I can't wait to get mine this Christmas. If only angloz will deliver this and two other SOC's... We are getting worried. No word from angolz and we've ordered way over a month ago.

Got mine this Christmas. I can't wait to open and play with it. I absolutely love the SPEC line because I am getting a bit bored with the old school designs of the SOC line and the repeated characters (enough Mazingers and Getters already). I find the SPEC's more interesting and modern looking. Plus, I really love how one of the figure sits on top of the other robot... Really cool.
Gold, I can't wait to see your awesome collection, it is really impressive. Where are you in the Philippines?

Okay, I finally opened and put together my Tekkaman. I was kind of disappointed at first 'cause this is like 99% plastic. I couldn't justify its almost $150 price tag. But once I turned the big robot into the ship mode and I placed the little dude on top of it... I was sold! Look, I don't have a robot in my collection riding another robot on top of it. It's unique and it looks really cool. I am a sucker of SPEC's because of their unique and modern designs. But enough Eva's already and add more metal!!! Oh yeah, and I am impressed with the size of Tekkaman! Go get it!
