![]() Sadly the re-issue is lacking the additional accessory pieces that came with the original, namely a set of connectors that could be used between the body and appendages to allow them to rotate when he was in motion. Robotman comes with two instruction/Catarog sheets that feature some great illustrations. If any or all of those things apply, then - like me - you'll love this toy. He's a Microman toy, he was also a Micronaut toy, he's a robot, he's Japanese and he's retro. What else is there to say about Robotman? He's a very cool toy and checks a lot of boxes for me. But it's still pretty impressive, as you can see in this Takara commercial. And anyway, were his legs not set in this manner, he wouldn't be able to walk. And that's fine, as Robotman is as much a vehicle as he is an action figure. ![]() From the waist-down, his limbs are locked. ![]() His head, shoulders, elbows, wrists and waist can be rotated and his hands feature a nice spring-loaded pincer-action. Granted, I can't comment on the authenticity of the sculpt but in terms of simple design, it's a definite winner. Apparently Takara produced this toy from new molds (they'd misplaced the originals) and from what I can see they've done a superb job. ![]() PO Box, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Azerbaijan Republic, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Brunei Darussalam, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde Islands, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Comoros, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), Fiji, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Gabon Republic, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greenland, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Iraq, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Malta, Marshall Islands, Martinique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, New Caledonia, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Republic of the Congo, Reunion, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, San Marino, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Swaziland, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican City State, Venezuela, Virgin Islands (U.S.In terms of the sculpt, it's an excellent toy, with loads of tiny details and a very cool 70s aesthetic.
