They don't look great but they don't look bad, and I even like them. Most kids aren't able to get access to the older mecha, so by Bandai releasing previous robo again it makes it easier for the general audience to get a hold of some version of those old mecha. While in an ideal world, they would give them all the kyoryuzin treatment, that is pretty expensive for them to keep making new molds for a bunch of mecha. I think this a great idea so long as they don't start to have a bunch of mecha from current series use the DX Robo Universe base. Let's hope byun byun mach robo is a one off thing.

Also a big selling point is the price. These are going for about $35, compared to the $80-120 that mainline DX robos (Or stuff like the Full Action Kyoryujin) can go for.

Don't forget Red Puncher. :lolol

I think some robots will work well with this format while others might be a hit or miss for me depending on the end result. If they can give me ToQOh quality, definitely. As for the price, yes, it's relatively cheap, but I think 28 USD seems more reasonable.

I think it still feels relatively budget friendly. I definitely wouldn't mind a lower price, especially since the combination doesn't require unique parts and revolves around the skeleton, but I don't see the current price point a deal breaker.

I am curious if it's limited to main robos, or if we'll see some 6ths.

This isn't what I was expecting (yeah yeah we were all expecting something like the treatment Kyoryujin got), but I think it's weird and cool.

Main robos only first seems like the obvious choice, but at the same time I can picture Bandai doing something else by going a bit sporadic so ToQOh, Engine-Oh and Gokaioh first and then suddenly Delta Mega or a Jet Garuda for example. Then the next batch will be Daizyujin, and so on. This way, they don't deplete the core robo supply right away. Also, it appears that the frame they're using is related with Byunbyun Mach Robo or Byundy from Boonboomger. If you strip all the parts on Byundy there is a gun metal frame underneath and the thighs are the same it seems.

These look silly, I might get a few.

Additional parts in this system probably means you can make some real messed up stuff.

After careful deliberation, I'm pretty much committed to ToQ-Oh cause I never had the original DX version and I'm more than a little curious.

As for Engine-Oh, I'm on the fence. Everyone equates this line to Bandai's Zord-Builder System, but I'm looking at this as the 'spiritual successor' so to speak of RPM's Micro Megazord figures. I still have a few of them, and the way Engine-Oh's new figure breaks down isn't much different from the "High Octane Micro Megazord" figure. I honestly believe that someone at Bandai Japan looked at that old figure and took several dozen cues from it because the parallels are much too coincidental.

I can't figure out the actual dimensions, though. If they're comparable to the original DX versions or the modern-day equivalent to DX Mecha, then they're more than acceptable if you don't have an original or acceptable alternative.

Did find additional glamour shots.

I totally forgot that!

People are pointing out that the skeleton is virtually identical to BoomBoon Mach Robo's, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're about the same size.
