I'm delighted to see another of these galleries! These figures seem nifty as heck. I was skeptical of the cute chibi forms...
...and then Kamen Rider Ex-Aid came along. The reminder of the Robotack is making me judge those Level 1 forms much more harshly. This gimmick just seems more sleek. (Although I assume the Level Up gimmick of Ex-Aid is directly inspired by this, so perhaps effort was put into not copying this line, but instead just riffing on it.) |

Man, Gamera looks a lot bluer and smaller than I remember. He does look nice though. Always a pleasure to see a vintage line get a good gallery done like this- there can't be many about, as opposed to newer items, where there are so many reviewers with cameras nowadays.

These look like really cute figures. I wonder if my dad's heard about this toku.

I love these old toys, they’re so nice. I don’t know which gallery it was but after one of them you almost had me buying the figure. But I remembered that I have no place for it and buying toys just for the sake of it with no attachment to it isn’t my style so I didn’t do it in the end.
I still dig these retro toys a lot though, so I always look forward to seeing more pictures of them. I don’t like Kamerock as much as Robotack from a design standpoint but it’s still a fun looking figure. |

This dude looks pretty fucking rad. I love the normal mode (Though he does look rather weak without his eyes. I wish they weren't stickers). His super mode looks pretty sweet too, and I much prefer his head design, but overall, I think Robotack has the better looking super mode.
I really wish I had more to say, but it's a character's toy that I'll never be able to get from a show I've never seen, so there's not much I can say beyond "This dude looks pretty sweet."

Wow, the transformable gimmick seems to work really well. If I hadn't known that the Normal and Super modes were the same figure, you could've fooled me.

The older gimmick toys had more charm than the ones made today.

So a cute turtle robot turns into a neat looking robot?
I think whoever had this has some great memories of such a fun looking toy. |

Magnets? Cool, why dont more toys have that? This is the first time ive hear of a Transformer-esqe toy that used magnets to help hold pieces together. Cool designs too, I would like to see a reboot version (ala Ironmen in Fourze) or SIC (ala Akumaizer).
