Chogokin Hello Kitty Updated
Bandai is continuing to expand the Chogokin line into nontraditional properties with Hello Kitty! This robotic styled rendition of the character is actually the real Hello Kitty's own giant robot! She comes the Chogokin staple of firing fists, an eye change gimmick, a clear cockpit with in scale Hello Kitty pilot, moving head, and a removable bow that can be placed under her feet. It is about 10.5 centimeters tall. Coming June 2014 for 4,400 yen. Celebrating 40 years of Chogokin!
Bluefin Tamashii has given us information about the figure:
In what promises to be the ultimate Hello Kitty commemorative masterpiece, Tamashii Nations is proud to announce the release of Chogokin Hello Kitty. Celebrating the double 40yr anniversaries of the adorable Hello Kitty and awesome diecast robot line- Chogokin (means "super alloy"in Japanese), this is the ultimate combination of Japan cute and cool! Chogokin Hello Kitty portrays this beloved character as a robot that can be piloted by Hello Kitty herself- small Hello Kitty can sit (sideways of course) in the cockpit in the head area. The Hello Kitty robot features diecast and can be transformed in to three different modes: Drive Mode- wheels on her legs let you "drive" her on surfaces. Attach the accessory ribbon to her back for Flight Mode. The ribbon disassembles to create fins for her feet for Dive Mode. Three eye mode expression changes including “Angry Mode” and figure also features rocket punch gimmick. Special display stand included that allows posing of Hello Kitty robot in all modes.
You can preorder the Chogokin Hello Kitty at Big Bad Toy Store.

I am going to buy this? I think I am going to buy this. Hello Kitty surrounded by giant robots? This makes sense.
Wouldn't Doraemon have been a more obvious choice? I mean, he IS a robot.
There already was a new Chogokin Doraemon a few years back, and a reissue of the vintage one, and a really excellent Robot Damashii more recently.
Hopefully a resourceful reviewer will set up some Hello Kitty Robo vs. Panda-Z shots.
Better not show this to my daughter, or she would want one!
Smeggin hell, I want one. :3
