Ugly, but beautiful.

Through no fault of its own, this toy was root of my childhood feelings of inadequacy. Look, it's not Optimus Prime and it's not Ultra Magnus and it's definitely not God Ginrai, but it's still awesome.

Leonardo Flores Reviews Rock Lords leader Boulder aka Battle Rock "Like Matchbox the beauty of Machine Robo is in its simplicity."

I like this figure for one reason and one reason only: That it is an accessory to one of Matchbox's coolest toys that they accidentally got right in a way: The Spartas/ Veritech Hover Tank.

We've all seen this one around, but I never actually owned one until now.

The design of Spiral Zone's Act 2: Hyper Boxer has grown on me over the years, mostly due to the fantastic colors the armor was molded in, the lime green combat suit and the protect suits odd features and detailed weapon accessories.

Bandai’s SFG Spiral Zone released only three optional weapon sets for their Spiral Zone deluxe figure sets and optional Coating Armor sets. Acts 8, 9 & 10 would be allocated for those releases.

After releasing four SFG Spiral Zone extra Coating Type uniforms without figures, it would be expected that Bandai would release basic figures to go along with their coating armor sets. Spiral Zone Act 11 Figure Type 1 (White Man) and Act 12 Figure Type II (Brown) would fulfill those expectations.

Two Spiral Zone figures were created to be paired with one of the four Coating Type extra armor uniform sets. While the other three figures looked Japanese in their face sculpts, Bandai choose to release two figures with an African ethnicity and European ethnicity.

Special Forces Group Spiral Zone was a very short released series of action figures and equipment manufactured by Bandai in 1/12 scale in 1985. Not many pieces were released with only 12 releases, which were numbered on each box as “Acts”, with Bull Solid as Act 1.

Many Macross, Mospeada, Southern Cross, and Robotech collectors have mixed feelings about the non Bandai and Takatoku Robotech toys produced by Matchbox, specifically its 3 3.4 scale figures and their accessories.

CDX's first ever plush doll review! Oh, the HORROR!!!

Help solve the mystery of Construction Robo Barudam!

At the time it seems that everybody was manufacturing or bootlegging Fang of the Sun Dougram figures in 1985. Revell was releasing Dougram 1/48 and 1/72 scale under the Robotech Defenders monikers and Dougram action figures were available at big chain toy stores even though America didn’t even have the luxury of the cartoon series on TV. That’s just the way it was.

A very recent aquisition of mine... But being a massive Robotech nerd, you could easily ask, what took ya so long!?
