“Ganbare Robocon!!”
It’s time for another overdue trip down memory lane! In the past we here at TokuNation have shown you some truly odd & interesting figures from Tokusatsu history. Kamen Rider, Metal Heroes, and even some one-off toku shows that are no more. Today we’re taking a look at a vintage piece from the classic 1999 series Moero Robocon with DX Slotroid 01 Robocon!
Moero Robocon is actually a reboot of the even older 1974 original series Ganbare Robocon. Technically, Moero Robocon even serves as the final entry in the long running Metal Hero series (more on that in the full review). But enough about the show, here’s the toy! DX Robocon was an innovative figure for it’s time. Robocon featured a built in electronic minigame that allowed him to physically interact with another figure in the line as well a special “super mode” transformation. This diminutive robot is definitely more fun that you’d initially think.
