I LOVED this video game back when we still had it, and this is a pretty cool mech design. However I'm not at all confident in my model-building skills, and the only action figures I've seen from Virtual On are the old Kaiyodo ones (which I know to stay the hell away from).

What's a Virtual On fan to do, eh?

I never played it other than demos and in-arcade ver., but whatever happened to the "Virtual-On" series of games? I saw a lot of models & toys, but that's all I see nowadays. 'Cause I agree with G-I above- there were some cool mecha in there.

My only Virtual on bot is the one coin figure. It's a trading figure with (limited) joints.

Btw Kotobukita is sell those Virtual on bots with decal for extreme detailing. So we don't have to paint it to make it look sharp.

I know nothing about Virtua On, but is that a dreamcast on its back?

Yep, it sure is. The VO bots all had Dreamcasts built into them, they would pop open and display a spinning disc when they would use boosters or super weapons.

Heh- I always thought that was a clever little gimmick they all had. :D
