Soul of Chogokin GX-44 Taiyou no Shisha Tetsujin 28

Description

This is an action toy, with some die-cast metal parts, of a science fiction/anime character or item.

The titular metal robot from the 1980-81 “Taiyou no Shisha Tetsujin 28-go” anime series reemerges as this impressive new entry in Bandai’s coveted Soul of Chogokin toy line! Its slick and slim design is perfectly captured, and also incorporated is a newly developed joint mechanism that allows the robot to hold signature action poses along with other dynamic poses. Highly articulated Tetsujin 28 also features a movable mask that can slide up to displaying the robot in a flying pose. Accompanying the metallic hero is a same-scale figure of ever-present protagonist Shotaro using the Vision Controller, along with the green mechanic robot 08 (Zero-Hachi), and another figure of Shotaro piloting the Clipper. A mini openable Vision Controller is included, plus a custom base to display Tetsujin 28 with its accessories. (Note: Tetsujin 28’s hands are painted flat blue instead of the metallic blue color shown below on a painted prototype.)

Bandai has also produced a deluxe box set that pairs Tetsujin 28 with nemesis Black Ox, linked below!

Please note that the photos shown are of a prototype; the production version may vary slightly. Also, figures such as this are mass produced, and as a result some inconsistencies in finish and painting may occur; these are not considered manufacturer’s defects. If you absolutely must have perfection, prepare to do some touch-up work on your own.
