Chen, it comes with 2 heads- one's eyes light up but has restricted movement, the other has good neck movement but no light up eyes.
Very nice looking pics. I always liked Black Ox more than Tetsujin 28. Now just need Patlabor SOCs, so they can do the Griffon, which reminds me of the Black Ox whenever I see it but which is cooler IMO.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but black ox has a magnet in one of his fists that will set off the color changing gimmick for Tetsujin 28's eye lights. Black ox comes with his own remote control, but I don't think it's yet known if it actually does anything with the black ox. Maybe it will be able to turn the lights on and off? I hated having to take the Tetsujin off his stand and removing his backpack to flip a switch when I wanted to turn the lights on.
Oh, also, the eyes of the blue metal version tetsujin seem to be improved like those of the limited version. Good!

ataru: tnx for the link bro, this new tetsujin does include both the kid driver and the professor. i was previously "misinform" that it only includes the professor, thus making me get the first tetsujin (just lately) just to have the kid. if i have known earlier, i would'nt have gotten it, and just settle for this coming tetsujin having the kid also plus the professor. just dang it!!! more so, they say this coming tetsujin is more anime accurate due to its lighter blue color. what am i going to do with my first tetsujin, no buyers would get it knowing the coming tetsujin is much better. ahhh, dang dang dang it!!! anyways, best regards bro ;D.

A little esoteric, semi-literary rambling about Black Ox:
I am not a fan of minimalist designs, let alone old, old school minamalist designs, and Black Ox is just about as minimal and old school as you can get, but I completely dig this guy to the depths of my robot loving soul! Where much of the time old school simplicity makes a bot look more like an awkward remnant from the mechanical age instead of a technical dynamo, with Black Ox his simplicity is a huge part of what makes him looks so deadly. Not having any facial expression or features other than his big glowing eyes makes him seem like some stealthy, predatory hunter (even though he is a big, mechanical butt kicker). And As far as robot design goes, if I didn't know where/when he came from, it would be easy for me to guess that Black Ox was a new design done in a retro style. But nay! He is the real thing and he's coming to crush our robot collections into little pieces unless we submit to his dominating will!!! I for one have chosen to submit to his will and "will" give Black Ox a priveledged place upon the shelves among my cringing fearful collection of robots, hoping nothing gets broken in his wake!

And a fine rant it was indeed Mr. Xiombarg! As a matter of fact, your thoughts on Black Ox probably cost me fifty or sixty bucks, an exasperated look from my wife, and another agonizing bout of "Try to fit one more robot on an already overcrowded shelf. " Thanks a bunch. JWM
