Mechabot: A Hero Reforged!

Absolutely a beautiful piece of work in every imaginable way! Great sculpt; super-articulated; wonderful, ongoing back-story... Gray-scale model, matte finish with GID “pilot station” and eyes. This was a Super7 magazine subscriber exclusive, limited to 100. The figure is 1/32 scale, standing 8.5 inches tall with 12 points of articulation.

From the Go Hero website: “Mechabot is a walking battleship. He is both armor and weapon, a sword that cuts through mountain, monster, & space itself. Mechabot is the grandest creation of the Shokunin, Elijah Yoroiichigu. Intended for the bravest of men, this robot bonds to a boy, Zing Takemitsu. The Mechabot armor materializes at Zing's will and scales to the size of the erupting threat. With these powers, Zing as Mechabot, flies faster than light, punches harder than a crashing tidal wave, and slices deeper than the ocean!”

For more of the story, technical specs, and a lot more information about Mechabot and other Go Hero characters, visit the Go Hero website. See Kaiju Connection links here for the address.

Kaijujitsu - Bemon's greetings

Max Toy Captain Max, Kikaida, and Gumos

These are the Captain Max and Kikaida figures I have so far gathered together for a quick shot on the kitchen table. I am missing the two Kaiju-Taro versions and the Gargamel version of Captain Max. I am also missing the all red unpainted Kikaida. I think that's it.

Also shown with the group is the Max Toy edition of the Dream Rocket Gumos (GID vinyl).

I will post my collection of Alien Xam finger-puppets another time (I think that I have all of those that have been released so far).
