Ultraman
Review by JoshB
Takara's ChoroQ line has had many different sub-lines one of wich is the Choro-Juu line. These are a series of "sparker" toys with SD-style proportions.
What's a sparker? It's an old gimmick - on the bottom there is a friction wheel that when you get it rolling it produces a spark out a hole in the front. The result is a safe, cheap fireworks show that's fun for the kids.
This little guy is Ultraman, but Takara released a bunch of different kaiju and heroes in the line.
Not much else to say about this, other than it exists. I don't think we had a sparker toy on CDX before, so now we do.

Got to track me down a MechaG now that I know they exist!
Hey we've had a sparker toy before!
Repugnus :3
I have all three mentioned (Ultraman, Godzilla and MechaGodzilla) from back in the late '80's.
Found them at Eide's in Pittsburgh!
