This design does not get a whole lot of toy love – and inspire is looking to change that with some Soft Vinyl figures.

Americans love the 80’s Tetsujin 28, largely because of the mythical Godaikin Tetsujin 28… Japanese Toy Maker Inspire is coming out with a vinyl rendition of this classic 80s robot.

The details:

– 18cm tall (about 7 inches)
– Made out of Soft Vinyl
– Cost: 5,800 yen
– Window boxed
– Due March 2008
