Just got these 2 Popy Kyodain Vinyls.
Here’s my shoot-through-the-toy-lens-try.
Well, didn’t really work. No sharp fotos. Maybe the Popy lens isn’t high-end ;-)
But the vinyls are great.
cheers
…and again a double-post. I’m not sorry for that ;-)
While shooting some fotos for my own “toy archiving”
I thought, why don’t make a little BROG. X-mas is coming
and this Bullmark Rockbat Meka Machine could be an
excellent gift for your kids…nooooo…for yourself.
If you want to see this great toy in motion, presented by our
chairman Mr.Sjoen just klick here.
Lets start with Mr.Nice Guy Rockbat.
…or Mr.Bad Guy Rockbat. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang…
Don’t have to say much about this Meka Machine Rockbat.
Great box design, lots of great action features, great toy!
Is there any Bullmark Meka Machine that isn’t great?
Now I show you some detail shots of Rockbat.
Push the buttons on his chest and his “hat” will be shoot into the air.
Rockbat has a lever on his back. You move his yellow wings with it.
He comes with rockets for his gun and he has wheels on his heels.
“wheels on his heels” sounds like a trucker song …argh…howdieee
Rockbat has lots of gimmicks. But he’s a real “transformer”.
Move his legs into position and another wheel pops out of his butt.
Ready to race!
Thats it.
I swear: No more Rockbat Meka Machine BROGS in the future!
More fotos etc in the BBS section.
4 weeks countdown.
We have a nice tradition here in germany.
4 weeks before x-mas we make a wishlist for the Weihnachtsmann (Santa Claus).
If you had been nice and helped a few old ladies over the street the last year,
all the wishes come true. Thats easy!
Here’s my wishlist. Nothing special, only a few plastic robots from the 70ties.
No problem for the Weihnachtsmann I hope ;-)
Any cash left after Morphy’s and you still have wishes for x-mas?
With wishes I don’t mean world freedom, health, saving the rainforest and such a shit.
I mean japanese robots!
Make a wishlist in the BBS section.
U-Combine Shogun Combatra Deluxe Set. One of my holy grails becomes reality.
It all begun with the Shogun Warriors. They infected my brain with the japanese robot virus
more then 30 years ago. If I knew as a kid that there is a Shogun Combatra Deluxe Set
existing…but I didn’t, no Combatra in germany. So I had been a happy kid without Combatra.
Why Combatra with only one “t”? Bad translation by Mattel?
Ok, back to Combatra. A few years ago I realized that there is a Shogun Combatra Deluxe Set
and the U-Combine set with 5 individual boxes. But I needed some years to get my Combatra.
A few weeks ago “my” set pops up on ebay. Looked not to bad on the pictures. Nearly complete &
nice condition and comes with the box. I think the most important thing of this great robot is
the box…the wonderful, some say crappy, shogun box. Here are some impressions…
The Box is made of simply cardboard only the front is printed full color, back is only 1 color blue.
But its huge. You see it compared with the rodan box etc. Well, nearly forget this, the box is the
most expensive part of combatra deluxe set ;-)
Most of you guys own such a Combattra PA-78-82, or had one in your hands sometime.
For me its my “first time”. I’m impressed how big Combattra is in reality.
Here are some detail shots of the 5 vehicles that could be combined to Combattra.
After you combined Battle Jet, Battle Clasher, Battle Tank, Battle Marine and Battle Craft
you get the biggest metal Shogun Warrior ever. Mr.Combattra. As the box says:
“Combine ’em to make a robot 1 foot tall!”
Great robot design from any angle.
To tell my “how-I-come-to-my-Combatra-story” to the end. As I mentioned he pops up on ebay.
I was high-bidder 2 times, but didn’t met the reserve. I wasn’t sure how much Combatra is worth for me,
I looks that I didn’t love ($) him enough. But I had a third chance. Because reserve wasn’t met 2 times,
the seller (a nice guy from California) wanted to sell Combatra as “direct buy” or “make a offer”.
It looks that my offer was better than the offer of another guy…
That was, again, a little foto lovestory. Sorry I waste so much webspace for
a “simple” Combatra….Combattra.
I always get very emotional when I got a new bot ;-)
…a key chain??
I’m not sure what this “thing” really is. Maybe somebody could
translate the text on the header card. Its made by Bullmark.
I’m not sure, but this piece is a must-have for every serious Rockbat collector
and Bullmark completist ;-)
Here is Diapolon with the rest of the Bullmark Big Size gang.
German version of the Bandai Blue Fighter Mekarobo.
Andy Galaxo – The space tramp
There are many robots. But there is only one Blazer.
Ok, not one Blazer…
Hope I get the Bullmark Big Blazer one time.
Uups, forgot one Blazer on the foto…sorry Blazer————————————–vv
Do I have a problem?
;-)
Have a nice weekend guys
Today I want to hype Bullmark Burikin!
Hope you all have one? I warned you one week ago that I’ll gonna make a review
about this wonderful Bullmark Zinclon. Now it’s too late, prices will explode…Â Â Â ;-)
I don’t know anything about the Robo Kid Beeton series, Burikin belongs to.
But I always loved his style, since I had seen him the first time…and he’s a Bullmark!
I bought this one here on ebay. Box is sunfaded and far away from C1o, but the robot
itself is complete and in very good shape. Lets start with the box.
My Burikin came with 2 different pairs of fists and 3 “propellers”.
Burikin’s body is diecast. His head, arms and legs are plastic.
He has 2 buttons and a “wind up ” wheel on his back.
Now I show you some of Burikin’s awesome action features.
Lets start with his spring-loaded-head-pop-up-feature…wow.
Push the button under his neck and the head pops up.
Next feature: The good old Bullmark-propeller-action. We all know it, we all love it.
Don’t need to describe it I think.
My personal Burikin still has his rubber protection cap on the “propeller connection”.
Sorry I’m a stupid german, don’t know the right technical expression for the piece of metal
where you put the propellers on. But I love the rubber cap  ;-)
…and sure he could fire his fits. Burikin has a pair normal fists and hammer fists. Bang!
Thats it guys, this is Burikin!
Lets end this “review” with foot markings and a comparison of sizes with a Popy Gaiking.
…oooo noo…SORRY all feet-fetishists…no markings on his feet. ;-)
You also have one? You like him? More in the BBS section:Â http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?4,204269
