Hanedaman Space Warrior

Atoranger?

Is there supposed to be an Atoranger JM as pictured on the box? Hanedaman's legs would seem to come from that design. The arms are the same, so the torso and head are the only components unaccounted for.

Not as pictured on the box

Not as pictured on the box (that I'm aware of). Either way, I think both images on the top of the box are meant to have the same legs. I think the Kimpo Warrior with the Atoranger head has those legs, just different arms though. I didn't notice until now that Kimpo Warrior and Hanedaman have the same legs and torso. Makes sense though since they are both made by Ceppi Ratti (which is further evidence in my eyes that Ceppi Ratti most definitely could not have acted alone in making the masterful Gundam Jumbo. No way, no how..)

Identical to mine

This is the exact same version of the Hanedaman that I own, so it probably is the most common. The Atoranger-headed juniors I have both came in the same exact Space Hero boxes, and one has the Jeeg body (exactly as the SH box depicts) and the other has the same body as the variant on the right you show above. I still keep my eyes open for these guys, but they are fairly tough to come by.

Come to think of it...

The new Space Hero specimen I got does look a lot like the second robot on the Hanedaman box. Not only does it have the Atoranger head, but I just noticed it also has the yellow feathered wings for the chest, instead of the red/yellow mazinga-like configuration. The colors are different (black instead of red or blue on chest/legs), but it is a pretty good likeness of the robot on the left of the Hanedaman box. It's very similar to the Super Robot junior you reviewed way back, but has a different paint job on the head, and yellow fists. Also, it has a belt, but the launcher is intact behind it, so maybe the Super Robot specimen you reviewed was just missing his belt.

I added a couple of pics of this new guy to my gallery.

This doesn't really belong

This doesn't really belong here,but I just thought I'd let anyone interested know that Target has belts and wallets featuring sillouettes of Combattler V all over them. They're pretty cool.

Man! A buddy of ours was

Man! A buddy of ours was just telling me and Matt Doughty about that the other night. Gotta check these out! I could use a new wallet! ;)

Robot Japan actually broke

Robot Japan actually broke that news over a month ago, I think. If I had anything my current wallet, I'd grab one. Alas.....
