Robot Toy news and photo reviews on Japanese toys and action figures

Robot 16, Dix Neuf, embodies everything the Kaikodo Revoltech like has going for it.  Cool, fresh, robot design, descent pricing, and great joints!

Then this line branding of Revoltech (リボルテック) is a portmanteau for "Revolver Technology," in reference to the unique "Revolver Joint" articulation which all of the figures in this particular series utilize. This gives the figures a wide range of motion and stability, allowing for many dynamic and varied poses.

Is it possible to re-capture the essence of Early 80's toys perfectly?  At a first glance, the new preview photos of GX-60 look amazing! Space Emperor God Sigma is set to be released soon.

HEXBUG feels its way around sensing objects in its path and avoiding them. And it can even hear! You can control where it scurries through a hand clap, loud noise or table slap. The robotic bug will travel forward until it hits an obstacle or hears a loud noise. It will then backup in a half circle and then move forward .......

-From Brussels via Japan with love.  

I saw one on auctions that was missing his lion head on the chest, some stickers were missing also. It sounded like a good challenge for me to try to make him look proud again. How to replicate the head when you don't have access to a real one?
