yeah you are right, I am trying to get my hands on that show, it's look hilarious to say the least, the Japanese always know how to make thing's really weird. In fact you can buy that robot to go with Spiderman, Popy made it aswell.

Yeah, Popy made several toys of the robot, Leopardon, including two diecast Chogokin versions, a couple vinyl and plastic ones, and best of all, a two foot tall Jumbo Machinder version, that also included a plastic figure of Spider-man. That one would be awesome to own, but would cost thousands of dollars, if you could find one. He looks fantastic though.

Bandai did a new diecast version of Leopardon recently, as a part of their Soul of Chogokin line, and it also included a vinyl Spider-man. I think he's a really sharp looking robot.




BTW, the TV show was officially released in a DVD box set in Japan, but it is very expensive, and unfortunately it has no English subs. But there are "grey market" subbed DVDs of the show floating around on ebay, etc.

I have to ask some thing, is this popy 9 inch spiderman we have been talking about even Mego?
Like I know popy made it, but is it a Mego item? Like how Ensueño item's are Mego?

[starsky]

no it's not mego. it's all popy. the fabric of the costume is almost like silk and is very soft.

damn it!
I was going to buy it, I thought it was a japanese version of the spiderman Mego!
I know that they released spidey in a popy box but I though this was their version of it. I don't collect popy so I wont be buying it.
