Kiguru Red

Review by JoshB

Kigurimix are a series of bottle cap figures released by Tomy in Japan. Each figure is about 2 inches tall, and is permanently attached to a base. When activated, a Kigurumi will dance along with music, or with each other! Kigurumix figures respond to sound, whether it is a clap of the hand or a techno beat. Please see our feature article for more background information.

Kiguru Red is part of the Kigurumiman series, a sub-line of Kigurimix that features sentai-styled figures with its own little back story. He is number 1 in the First Battle series. Kiguru Red comes with a helmet, two B.D.T. Gloves, and a bottle cap connector. B.D.T. stands for Bikkuri Dokkiri Tega, which means Suprising Shocking Hands. The gloves come in ii-no (good) and wauri-no (bad) versions.

When activated, Kiguru Red does a little dance. If you play some music, he will find the beat, and dance to it. When placed near other Kigurimix figures, they will sync together and dance.

You can also put Kiguru Red into the driver's seat of the Iimono type Norimonoman battle panda.
