Nice! I like that the modular displays lend themselves to a vertical display like that. |

Great photo guys! I think I'm going to copy your stand configuration, Josh - the three storied base is really cool!
Finally, my local seller is offering these for sale, plus Bike Robo, an I'm going to get them all. Feels like 1984 again when I bought Drill Robo for the first time!

Great reviews and photos. Although you may want to clarify you were comparing them with a Super Robot Chogokin figure (SRC) not a Soul of Chogokin (SOC). The SOC's are the bigger more heavily metal ones with all the complex transformations. Most SOC's will tower over these guys. Except maybe the small robot versions of Zambot and Daltaniuos.
To compare then with the SRC line, they perfectly line up with and scale with the Brave series. Especially Big and Little Volfog and both pairs of twins. Who they nicely blend aesthetically with. They seem to be the closest all around match.

Thanks. You're right, I flubbed the name of the SRC line.
I still have not decided where these will go on my shelves. I am sort of thinking they will get their own shelf once I get most of them.

Yeah. I'm almost hoping that they offer those display stands as a stand alone product. You can do some interesting things with those. Build a nice overall display.

Update on Bike robo:
We would like to thank everyone for their support on the Machine Robo line so far and we are very pleased to hear that the overall opinion is good.
We do want to apologize for the delay on Bike Robo but be assured, it is all for a very good reason and one that I think everyone will agree with. When we received the final sample from the factory we found that the Bike Robo was awesome but just missing a few tiny things. First, the wheels in the bike mode were pegged into the hands and the rear were a single piece and so it really did not roll so well. Sure with pressure, you could force the wheels to roll but this was not really what we considered good enough. So we have modified the wheels to be multiple parts and it will allow the wheels to rotate freely so when you are zooming your Bike Robo on the carpet you will not have any hindrance whatsoever. Since the wheels were being completely redesigned, we thought we would go one step further, we will add some nice rubber tires to the wheels so that when you are zooming your Bike Robo on the glass table, you will have enough friction from the rubber that the wheels will roll smoothly as they are now intended to.
We really are sorry for these very last minute delays to this highly anticipated figure but in the end, we figured this was a much better alternative than just releasing the figure with hard to roll plastic wheels. We thank everyone for your patience while we work at getting this finished off. We are hoping to have everything settled up and ready for delivery by the end of June so please keep in touch with your retailer and ensure they send yours when it is in stock!

It's amazing how much just a little communication can do to satisfy your customers. Isn't it.
