    I'm 1 and done ... unless there is an upgrade. A true upgrade, not just something latter/newer.

    The "duck" thing is actually a sort of half crocodile half rhino me ha that transforms into a jet from the Tatsunoko anime Muteking. You can see it in action at the 0:32 mark in the video:

    The one next is from the anime Burokk-a Gundan IV Mashīn Burasutā (in Italy Astrorobot Contatto Y):

    Yeah, he’s one of the Blockers, Bosspalder I think, or a KO of. I don’t know much about Mutaking. This is all I know from these awesome books on Japanese pop culture. He transforms into a cool ship like the lambda shuttle from Jedi.

    And I can’t read Japanese.

    Available 2nd market transforming is probably Mattel 23" I think the next is the 20" Treadmasters

    Largest non-transforming is a 30" Voltron by Toynami I think

    Might be. He is supposed to release in October from Japanese/Asian sellers. I’m hoping to see some actual reviews by the end of next week.

    I wouldn’t wait too long on Golion...he probably isn’t going to get any cheaper than he is right now. I don’t know where you’re located, but there are a few on eBay right now for around $400 shipped. That’s a ton of cheddar...I know...

    What’s amazing is that at first glance you might mistake him for the old Matchbox figure (in pics anyway). I always liked the way the old one looks...now we’re finally getting one that can move as well. Excitement rising...

    $400 was what I paid through Image Anime so I would expect it to only go up from there.

    It wasn't that long ago he was actually selling for nearly $1k on eBay. The demand for this guy can get crazy.

    That's the problem when different teams work on the same line and have different goals for each piece. To me so far, it looks like Bandai's A team was working on Dairugger.
