CollectionDX's own EVA_Unit_4A visits a small Transformers convention in Tacoma, Washington

A bit of an unusual choice for the cheap poly bootleg treatment.

I never knew how much I wanted a Boss Borot mini machinder until I found out one existed.

I've been wanting to review this one for a long time and after years of searching for an upgrade, I finally get to share it with you all.

A highly desirable toy for the rare monster collectors who don't know how to build models...

I was really excited to open the box which contained my new GX-41 Reideen the Brave. I kept telling myself, “At long last, I’ve got it! Now, if only Daimos is already available.” However, my attention was immediately diverted to the tiny item that fell from the box when I did open it. Had I not noticed that it was there, it would have been lost altogether; thrown away with the delivery box, for sure. Apparently, the toy was included in my order, free of charge and I’m not even sure if it was sent as a bonus item, or just the store owner making fun of me. But guess what, instead of opening my GX-41 box immediately, I opted to play around with this small, tiny plastic toy robot.

At least it has legs.

Although most Japanese toys from the 60’s and 70’s generally still hold up well over the years Japanese model kits from the same era generally have not faired too well.

Made in Hong Kong, released in Italy, this Junior Machinder is based on Combattler V and Robo Kress, with just a dash of Great Mazinger. No, not that "dash".

A cheap toy, but a worthy placeholder for the real thing.
