This is exciting news! Toynami is bringing Bandai's Tamashii Nation Apollo 11 chogokin to the USA!

Well it only took 28 years but I finally got a BETA fighter to add to my Robotech collection and I am happy to report it is as awesome as you we have been led to believe.

So $150 bucks was to rich for your blood for Toynami's exquisite Masterpiece Voltron. Well how would you like an almost identical version for $80? Is an all plastic version of this piece worth the asking price? Maybe. We take a look at Voltron (SDCC 09 Metallic Paint Version.)

SDCC09 brought us some cool exclusives, including this vinyl figure of Voltron III (the lion one!). Click here to see how it stacks up...

Each comes with a removable brain chip and light-up feature, and a plexi case for display

I am sure this was a memorable purchase for many at San Diego Comic Con 2009.

Toynami's 2009 exclusives include favorites such as Voltron, Robotech, Gundam and Soul of Chogokin

Toynami and Bandai bring the excellent Batman and Bat-pod to the US in August

The ultimate fan favorites are back by popular demand in Toynami's dual release of the Encore Collection!!

New items confirm release of SIC and Saint Cloth Myth in the US! Also, Robot Soul and Evangelion!

Suprise new SOC announcement! All new version of the once limited Soul of Chogokin Energer Z

The Masterpiece Beta Fighter Vol. 2 - Red is the second Masterpiece Beta released, and is essentially the same toy as the first release, save for different colors and a different head.

Entertainment Earth has posted pre-orders for the first wave of Tamashii product brought over by Toynami. All are expected June 2009. Prices are set by EE but are around suggested MSRP.

This is a cool toy, not so much for what it is, but for what it means.

Robotech to the rescue! in more ways than one. Like rescuing your wallet! We are going to have to name George Sohn the "Home Run Kid" if this keeps up.
