Check the Rumble for 7/11/03. Bandai revived the Popy brand and stuck it on a lot of different toys, including THE Chogokin, some Gundam toys, and their bagged Bullmark vinyl kaiju reissues which they used to sell under the B-Club brand (making the latter even more confusing for collectors to deal with).

Full Action Gundam by Popy? Any guess as to what that might be? A crane-toy?

I was going to guess the Arch Enemies RX-78 2 (since the other is Gelgoog), but those were ALREADY released in Japan.

It looks like these ARE the arch-enemy gundam and gelgoog.

Actually, "Gundam 'til you puke" is a Bandai slogan, Vincent.

Courtesy HobbyNet. Ataru's right:





Kinda cool they're bringing 'em out under the Popy brand, though. This particular RX-78 has to be one of my all-time favorite renditions of the character. They've been selling for $50 in import shops. Nice to see the price will be coming down.

Looks like the Gundam won't be weathered in this version. I might actually pick up a second copy, just for that...

ABS and PVC. The Gundam is great and is mostly ABS,. the Gelgoog is ok but has more PVC on it and could have been better.

It shows what people are missing, I love the AE RX-78 2.

Dammit - THAT's the toy I meant to nominate. Arch Enemies RX78.

Pure perfect removable-corefighter beauty.

Oh, wait - it isn't Japanese.

And the Japanese one is a 'recolor'.

@#$%!
