We are now DXrobo.com

February 16, 2014 Transformers No Comments

Hi, everyone.

We just completed a move from my old domain Xplorecyber.org to DXrobo.com. We have modified our site title from Henson Robo to DX Robo. So make sure you bookmark our new location. It took a lot longer than I thought. I have not written a new post for a while, but my cousin has added his new purchases up on the site every few weeks. I will probably work on his updating those posts before I continue with my collection.

You may see some weird things as I experiment with new themes/templates. I have been going over my old posts and have added videos, pictures, and text. So please go an check out my older posts! I am going to start putting out a Robot of the Week so there is always something fun and new on the site. If my cousin keeps buying new robots, you might not see one of mine for a while. So keep reading and Enjoy your visit to DXrobo.com!

Deluxe MSN-04 Sazabi Bandai MSIA 2002 from anime movie Gundam 0080 Char's Counterattack MSIA in 1988

Deluxe Sazabi MSN-04 from Bandai MSIA line in 2002 – Definitely one of the best Deluxe robots from this line!

Here’s the big 12 inch DX version of the Sazabi from Gundam 0080 Char’s Counterattack.  I had this before but sold it to my cousin a couple of years ago.  I think I have all of the DX Gundams now except for the GP-01.  I paid 120 dollars for this one on Ebay.  I’ll post a pix of the actual toy once I take it out of the box.

Optimus Prime

February 10, 2014 Transformers 1 Comment

Optimus Prime. This is the guy everyone wanted to have from this series. The robot was true to the cartoon, looked good as a robot, and looked just as awesome as a truck. You could have fun with it either way. So much the opposite of Megatron. Crappy robot, ok looking gun. I have never wanted to have the original G1 Megatron as part of my collection. I know I have a few different versions of Optimus here. I finally found I have two Optimus robots,but neither are the original G1 Optimus. After digging around, I have found a Robots in Disguise Laser Optimus Prime 1995, a Machine Wars Optimus Prime 1996, G2 Optimus Prime Hero, and Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime 2001. If I keep digging, I may find another, if not I really like the Platinum Optimus I saw at Toys R Us today, but it may have to wait for the Platinum Starscream which looks amazing!. I will post them once I manage to get some pictures. Here are a few different versions of him that are posted on the site.

Twincast G1 Encore 22 Takara Tomy 2012 with Nightstalker and Stripes

Here’s a Japan-only issue of Blaster redone in blue and yellow -named as “Twincast.”  I bought this because I didn’t have any of the Autobot tapes.  I thought he was worth it for 80 dollars since he came with two of the Autobot tapes. I’ve also included a picture of Blaster for comparison.

I have finally taken him out of the box, along with the two tapes that came with him (“Nightstalker” and “Stripes.”)  I never had any of the tapes as a kid and I’ve casually looked for them online but they are so expensive for what they are – I usually see them for about 30 dollars each!  So, I decided to buy this encore, Japan-only re-issue to get Twincast and two tapes.  I believe there are 10 Decepticon and Autobot tapes. Twincast G1 Encore 22 Takara Tomy 2012 Transformers Autobot Generation 1 Japanese ID number: C-116 1987 Foreign names Japanese- Broadcast(ブロードキャスト Burōdokyasuto), English- Billy, Blaster (Omni Productions dub Twincast), French- Tempo, Italian- Radiorobot, Audiobot, Digital (Twincast), Portuguese Rajada (Gust), Dinamitador, Spanish- Bill, Plato, PlatonTwincast G1 with Nightstalker and Stripes Encore 22 Takara Tomy 2012 Transformers Autobot Generation 1 Japanese ID number: C-116 1987 Foreign names Japanese- Broadcast(ブロードキャスト Burōdokyasuto), English- Billy, Blaster (Omni Productions dub Twincast), French- Tempo, Italian- Radiorobot, Audiobot, Digital (Twincast), Portuguese Rajada (Gust), Dinamitador, Spanish- Bill, Plato, PlatonTwincast G1 Encore 22 Takara Tomy 2012 Transformers Autobot Generation 1 Japanese ID number: C-116 1987 Foreign names Japanese- Broadcast(ブロードキャスト Burōdokyasuto), English- Billy, Blaster (Omni Productions dub Twincast), French- Tempo, Italian- Radiorobot, Audiobot, Digital (Twincast), Portuguese Rajada (Gust), Dinamitador, Spanish- Bill, Plato, Platon Twin-cast with Blaster G1 Encore 22 Takara Tomy 2012 Transformers Autobot Generation 1 Japanese ID number: C-116 1987 Foreign names Japanese- Broadcast(ブロードキャスト Burōdokyasuto), English- Billy, Blaster (Omni Productions dub Twincast), French- Tempo, Italian- Radiorobot, Audiobot, Digital (Twincast), Portuguese Rajada (Gust), Dinamitador, Spanish- Bill, Plato, Platon Twincast G1 Encore 22 Takara Tomy 2012 Transformers Autobot Generation 1 Japanese ID number: C-116 1987 Foreign names Japanese- Broadcast(ブロードキャスト Burōdokyasuto), English- Billy, Blaster (Omni Productions dub Twincast), French- Tempo, Italian- Radiorobot, Audiobot, Digital (Twincast), Portuguese Rajada (Gust), Dinamitador, Spanish- Bill, Plato, Platon
