toyboxdx toy blog brog: is graceful art of daily expressing japanese toy  

This is a video I created showcasing a group of Super Robot Mach Baron illustrations set to the TV show’s opening theme song. Hope you’ll like it.

What you are looking at is the Albegas Alpha Gyromecha toy by Victora. While the red and blue (Beta and Gamma) can be found every once in a while, this thing never shows up for sale. In fact, every collector I have talked to about it doubted its existence. I’ve seen two Garada K-7 Jumbos come up for sale in the time I have been looking for this piece.

I don’t know if it’s so much R@RE as it is forgotten. Honestly, who else is looking to complete a set of three cheap robots from a forgotten 80s cartoon? While some toys are hard to get because of low production numbers, or high demand, this one I think just got overlooked in the sea of superior products.

Fate would have it that I scored one on YJ for relatively cheap, and here it is. I would have paid 10 times what I paid to get it.

So what is a Gyromecha?

Each toy in the series is modular, and can be re-arranged in all kinds of crazy configurations. Included with the toy are several connecting pegs, a motor, and a rip cord. The motor has a heavy metal wheel in it, and you can mount the various parts onto the wheel and let it rip. When you have all three Gyromecha, you can connect them all into some insane configurations.

That’s fun and all, but the real reason to get all three is to make the combined Albegas robot. You can make any of the combinations by rearranging the parts at will. It looks really great when it’s together.

Make no mistake – it’s a crappy plastic toy. But for those stricken with the unfortunate obsession with this character, it’s a grail.

When a toy is absolutely mint , in sealed box , the question is always the same ..
Shall i open it without losing a part of what i paid for it ?
The answer is not always the same.. a blister should remain close forever..
But a box … why not to open it and enjoy also if for few minutes, the toy inside you was looking for since a lot of time ?
When big scale Omezaki Kichi Build Base arrived to my house was factory sealed by the original tape..

Ok guys let’s come in with me for the very first time !

Look at the fantastic enemie’s picture you can shot by firing the missiles of the base.

The art of the bottom box is fantastic !

And here it is the fantastic Omezaki Kichi released after 35 years !

Zenmai Voltes V – Popy – 1977

Breaking news from friend and MASTER collector Virginio de Angelis: “The Big Falcon has landed in Italy!!”. The Big Falcon without question is one of the two holy grails in Voltes V collections. The other being the much sought after Popy Voltes V Jumbo Machinder.

Probably the RAREST of all Popy Big Scale bases out there, the Big Falcon houses the one and only DX Popynica Voltes V or otherwise known as “Volt-in-box”.. These shots are just phase 01 of 02. Phase 02 will feature assebly and combined action shots which are coming soon. So, for your drooling pleasure, feast your eyes on some Big Falcon!!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this black headed variation, or I just plain don’t remember.. Found this in a 1997 character daimashi. I remember when I picked it up back in the day I thought that was odd, but never brought it up. Out of sight, out of mind I guess as I probably haven’t seen it since then..

Anyway, please discuss HERE.

This is HOT! From the biggest Massholes in Mass., Brownnoize Productions (aka TBDXr Sanjeev Selvaraj and Co.) comes the first figure in their “Faux-Gokin” line. Probably the BEST Grendizer enemy of all time, GIN GIN!!! These are a limited run called “Yojimbo” and are bare antiqued solid metal with magnemo limbs.. That’s right MAGNEMO limbs. For more info you can hit them up HERE. Stay tuned for my in-depth review coming soon!

In the meantime, feast your eyes on this bad ass shot:
