It is a cool toy on its own, but upon researching this I gained a greater insight to the culture surrounding the 80s robot boom when every company was scrambling to bring competitors to Transformers to the market.

Little. Metal. Different.

Irongear is a lot of fun, and I really love the fact that it is “Ready to go” right out of the box – I can’t stress that enough.

Overall, I think the Walker Gallia is a winner. The Durun kit is ok, but consider it a bonus. The Gallia is worth the purchase price alone. Review includes video!

Grande Astro Robot is an Italian bootleg of the Clover Walker Galliar ST toy.

This toy was my first exposure to Xabungle. It is amazing how many Japanese toys I was introduced to but never knew about... All planting the seeds of who I am today.

Released in October 2005, the SOC Xabungle attempts to be both an anime accurate toy and a transformable robot.

This is the bonus model kit that came packaged with the GX-28 Soul of Chogokin Xabungle.

The toy is basically an action figure version of Xabungle. It does not transform, but does feature a good amount of poseability. It's made of the same stuff that MSiA are - ABS and PVC plastic.
