Absolutely freakin' incredible!!! I thought that there wouldn't be a chance in hell of seeing Golion or Dairugger out here...I mean, hell the only trace I've ever seen of those are some extremely godawful VHS fansubs of each series' first couple episodes from way back in the day. I've heard they never had an LD or VHS release in Japan. Are they getting a DVD release in Japan perhaps? Man, now all we need to get is a couple more shows like Dancougar, Bismarck (Japanese version of Saber Rider), Machine Robo, Zillion, the rest of Saint Seiya, Borgman TV, Dirty Pair TV and Shurato on DVD to us and I can die a happy man. Thank you Media Blasters. You've made the day of this old hound dog. Doumo Arigatou Gozaimashita!!!!!

There is even a blockbuster Hollywood film in the works, produced by Mark Gordon (Saving Private Ryan), Pharrell Williams (N.E.R.D.) and New Line Cinema, along with an all new animation in production from Kickstart Entertainment.


Incidentally I think N.E.R.D. is the Voltron series mantra. No-one Ever Really Dies. Wink

Hell yes. Great figure. Well designed and it looks and moves great. Big Bad Toy Store still has them available.

Hell yes, 2 classic of American adapted anime and 2 classic Giant Robot series come to R1 thanks to MB, after they've saved Giant Robo and Iczer 1 from limbo among other anime properties and giving us also Teknoman and Tekkaman Blade, MB has become the Haven of Classic Mecha anime.... John Sirabella, you rule!!!!

and about Mazinger Z I also want this classic in R1, even if we also get a Tranzor Z release

and if you aren't picking up CPM's release of Armored Trooper Votoms, you should do so, it Old School-rific!!!!

This is the best news I have heard in years with the release of the orginal series. This is one shows I miss watching when I was a kid along with Mazinger Z (which I wish someone would release)

I don't have one yet. But if you go here you can have one for around $156, shipping is included in the price.

As much as I want one I just know I'm going to be the one guy that breaks the flimsy arm connectors. I'm waiting until I can get one on sale or with an online coupon.

After I missed out on the Combattler V, I pre-ordered the Voltes V (Soul of Chogokin GX-31) this time. Very Happy
