"There is so much writing in English on Japanese cinema that can't be accepted at face value — not because the writers are careless, but because the differences in culture and language are just too intricate. When I see August Ragone's name on a piece of writing, it gives me permission to place my faith in it completely. Among Japanese fantasy film historians, he's the best working in English." —Tim Lucas, Video Watchdog

I had this! Great figure, BIG figure! Stood like 2-3 feet tall if memory serves. So so articulation; lots of up and down for the limbs, and you could rotate the wrists, I think. Regardless, one of my favorite robot toys EVER! Thanks August!
