As I draw closer to having almost every Raideen toy ever made, I continue to discover new and unusual bootlegs of the character. This one really blew my mind.

Brothers should be close, don't you think?

My eyes! They Burn!

The metal flecks mean it's Gokin

Bigger....better....blow molded..

What better way to honor a classic than to buy its cheap knockoffs?

Winning!!!

October is here, and we're bringing the pain with a month of bootlegs, monsters, and downright scary toys. First off - the terrible Morphbot!

The good news is it does everything the original does and it wont make you poor at a retail price of about $5. The bad news is, it is cheap as hell.

For better or worse, my Kong crusade continues...

"Moving without definitive direction, explode to several pieces after the target been hit by gun."

Familiarity breeds love.....

It is a cool toy on its own, but upon researching this I gained a greater insight to the culture surrounding the 80s robot boom when every company was scrambling to bring competitors to Transformers to the market.

I continue to plug away on the junior machinders. And as usual, this one held more secrets than I was expecting.

Another toy I've had for awhile, but simply forgot to review. So it's time to add it to the database...
