Now these are the robots which every true mecha fan was waiting for. For about 30 looong years Blocker Gundan Machineblaster robots have remained forgotten by toy manufacturers. The only companies to take them seriously were Takemi and Bullmark. I have all the Takemi diecasts and all are made of chunky die-cast metal. They were great toys and I got my Sandaio for over $300 but anyway the CM's offerings look very cool and as, is the trend today, very anime-accurate!!

They also come with joined hands in order to join the four robots together and form the cicle of fire, the fiery merry-go-round and most probably the bird of fire too! The message of this anime was mostly on teamwork and Machineblaster may be credited with being the precursor of all the gattai robots (both anime and live action) that came after them.

Robots look exquisite. Can't wait to buy all four, in normal colour scheme of course!

I am now having second thoughts on these. Their paint job is horrible.
