Daiojya Ohsha Gatti
Description
最強ロボ ダイオージャ (Japanese)
Daiojya or Daiohja represented quite an interesting toy concept. Though the toy was a bit crude, it represented the first time (to the author's knowledge) that a transforming robot toy split down the middle. Note the black spade robot.
Clover's DX Ohsha Gattai toy was an absolutely massive toy with its stout yellow wings and heavy diecast. It succeeded in monster sizing the magnetic robot. In fact the toy is almost as large as the Clover Zanbot, and on a par with Popy DX Voltes V.
This particular toy is inches larger than other incarnations of the Daiojya robot character. Missiles fire, chest mantels swap, robots join using magnets, and then the set comes with Clover's traditional chrome accessories.
Plot: Eden 1 rules over about 50 planets throughout the galaxy. With the aid of his two faithful retainers Duke Sukedo and Baron Kakusu, Prince Mito decides to undertake a royal inspection tour of the planets undercover. However, the empire is a dangerous place and is plagued with vice feudal lords and corrupt space merchants, as well as other evil people. Using the royal family's weapon, the combining robot Daiohja, Prince Mito punishes any kind of villains that are within Eden 1's empire.
Note that stripped down versions of this toy reached the U.S. under the name Magnatron.

AWESOME! Great addition to the gallery, Ed. Another rarely seen toy actually combined! And I totally agree, it seems like a very crude toy. The individual robots seems so simple and blocky to me, but the combined one is great. Does it have much mobility?
It was about 8 years ago that I took these photos ;). But if memory serves me correctly, the large bot arms swivel and that's about it. The legs are frozen as is the head. The head crest can swivel up or away.
I had this toy. It was my 1st communion present from my parents lol. We bought it from SF Chinatown...! I'm glad you archived this.
Great gift and Great story Ray! Send pictures if you have them.
Hi Ed,
Maybe you could visit my thread, I have some clear enough pics to examine in case you interested
