60cm Jumbo Daitetsujin 17

2010 seems to be the year of the jumbo, if not necessarily the "machinder". This new offering from Zima/PLEX is a 60cm modern style rendition of Daitetsujin 17. Made of ABS and PVC, this mail away special is due in June for a retail cost of 31,500 yen and features opening chest panel, folding wings and an opening in the foot that stores several vehicle accessories.

I like how it's been

I like how it's been designed to look like a guy in a suit, although I'm sure it will have critics. Daitetsujin 17 has always been one of the weirder looking robots.

WOW

Wow, this looks great, the paint job is really amazing. It really pops out there. I always liked D17, but it's not a $300-ish love. It's a if-I-find-you-at-the-flea-market kind of like.

Did anyone else notice that it looks like he's leaving one behind?
It's like D17 was getting ready to sit on the toilet, and was interrupted in order to make this toy!
