I'm guessing no since it was not mentioned, but several Bosspaulders suffered from a foot that popped off too easily, I went to extend the ankle out and the foot just popped off. Even after popping it back in, it was evident that the ball did not sit well in the socket. Turns out a few people complained of this.

Awesome!

I bought this toy for one reason, my comic shop guy ordered it by accident. I opened it picked up this heavy-ass gokin and noticed the exceptional paint application, sold. I like this toy so much I bought TWO. This is a great toy thanks for a great review Josh, I am glad someone did it justice. I know next to nothing about Machine Blaster but this guy is so unique and so different on the shelf next to other robots he is fantastic. Sorry to gush but this is in my top 5 easy...the metal content and quality is staggering. I would buy the other 3 if they came out.

One other thing there is a plastic sheet in the midsection to prevent torso scraping it's very durable and difficult to remove but a ball joint actually connects the top and bottom halves. He pops apart very easily and you can save the sheet for re-packaging.

CM'S: BRAVE GOKIN No. 39 - BOSS PALDER

Thank you for the excellent review, Josh.

Here in Europe the show was very popular due to its beautiful opening theme in Italian.

Besides, the show presented us with a new idea, namely: If the evil monsters are huge, why not have a team of robots to fight against it?!

Watching the anime, this makes sense and how!

When I first saw this I thought "Cool one of those Korean robots" since it has a weird resemblance to some of the (plagarized) designs but then I saw this was from a Japanese show and I was like nevermind^^;

Anyways what's Machine Blaster like? And more inportantly, Is it a good show?

Theres a very rare line of Machine Blaster figures that were released on Cards and only in Italy (Known as Astro Robot in Italy) back in the day. Guess who made them? MATTEL! Its the only instance that Ive ever heard of Mattel producing region-specific figures!

There is NO English dub of the Show. As far as I know there is only the Spanish and Italian dubs outside of Japan. I recently purchased the 8 disc Italian DVD set from ebay for $18 shipped to the US!
