Tetsujin 28 aka....

Gigantor

I'll start off with my favorite from the diecast rascals: Popy GA-63 He's the O.G. Not only Popy's first version of the robot, but I believe it's the very first diecast Gigantor ever made.

This is Popy GB-23; their svelte version from the 1980 anime.

Right around the same time in 2000, two other Japanese companies put out some nice ones. First was Soft Garage.

These little bowling balls are heavy; chock-full o' heavenly diecast.



Marmit was next. They put out 3 Blue Versions, showing different eye colors and head crests for his different looks over the years.

And for some reason they put out this Brown Version; not sure why. Unfortunately, shortly after his trip to Little Tokyo he performed an ill-advised shelf dive and was never the same.

4 years later, Bandai, Popy's Mommy, put out their Soul of Chogokin GX-24

Superfun and the art of diecast is really amazing!

Very nice! A great collection on Tetsujins! I gotta admit that my favorite is that Popy GA-63. He just oozes vintage Popy coolness!
