Tamashii Nations' transforming Woody and Buzz Lightyear sets opened for preorder. Each set takes Pixar's characters and turns them into parts to create one of two giant robots. The sets themselves can then also be combined to create one larger robot, "Gangreat King."
The first set is "Chōgattai Daisakusen Woody Robo Sheriff Star" and combines Woody, his steed Bullseye, Hamm, Slinky Dog and Rex. Bandai posted a five-minute video on Thursday showing how each character combines to create Woody Robo Sheriff Star.
The 230mm tall (9in) Chōgattai Daisakusen Woody Robo Sheriff Star will go on sale in Japan on November 25 for 18,900 yen (US$176.50). The release will bundle a storybook. The second robot, "Chōgattai Buzz the Space Ranger Robo," goes on sale January 27, 2017 for 18,900 yen (US$185), with pre-orders accepted starting August 1. It comes with Buzz Lightyear, Alien No. 1, Alien No. 2 and space shuttle figures to combine into the larger robot. The combination robot is 205mm tall.
