Machine Blaster was your standard "ancient civilization attacks the surface world, with a crazy professor making giant robots out of their advanced technology that are somehow superior to the civilization they came from" anime.

Combattler V was one of three characters designated as "Deluxe Jumbo Machinders" by Popy.

The ST Combattler holds a place in my collection as the Shogun Warrior that never was.

Where Skyzel is based on the concept of flying, Granzel is based off the idea of driving a ground machine. The small details really show this, from the wheels on the hips and feet, to the hot-rod like pipes on the chest.

The Chogokin Skyzel was released by Popy in 1976. The thing is almost entirely metal, and weighs a ton. The paint is a nice crisp red and blue, which contrasts nicely against the bare metal. The detail is excellent, even the small darts are painted on the waist.

Diapolon doesn't transform. His arm joints are loose, and the leg joints are rather pointless, as they do not contribute to the ability to pose the figure.

Gaiking is a cool and clever little novelty, and guaranteed to get attention.
