Here is the Polyfect Toys Firefighter 7″  a combiner robot knockoff of the Transformers Defensor with a new job title: Firefighter. I guess I would rather be a firefighter instead of a defender. His new color scheme really matches his new theme and it looks pretty good. I think I prefer it to the original. Of Polyfect Toys  robots I have put up so far, this is my favorite. It looks good as a combined robot, the colors sync(which is what made Devastator a nice looking robot despite the heinous green they used), and the design as a whole robot . I would have to take this apart and play with it to see if each of the individual robots  look good by themselves, but at the very least this looks like good display piece if you do not want to fork out $130 for a reissue Defensor. Or it might be cool to display right next to your Defensor. I like displaying my Popy ST robots next to their DX counterparts.

The Polyfect versions are not the same scale as the original robots, but they are still tempting to add to the collection for fun. I don’t actually have a Firefighter robot yet, but I am thinking about it.

Here is another Polyfect robot, the Slusher Car. The names for these are so bad I don’t know what to say.  So far I have put up the robots Construction, Tornadonumber, and now Slusher Car from good old Polyfect Toys. That last one is just terrible. I really wonder who came up with these names. Was it the one guy at the company that knew English or what? I mean when I read that, I see Slushee Car.

This robot took forever to figure out which robot it was a copy of. I love the mystery this presents. After digging, this is the Transformers Sixbuilder Micromaster in 1992 from the Generation 1 series. At first look, I do not particularly care for the color scheme. Design wise it does remind me of Devastator a little bit, but more solid(which I like).  Especially the wing on the chest. So it may grow on me. While the colors really throw me off, there is a version of Sixbuilder comes in Devastator green that I would pick up. If you are going to make a knock off, you could at least try to improve it by using  a better color scheme. At this point I cannot say it will ever grace my display shelves. It is 6 robots that combine into one, so if each robot transforms it may be fun to play with. I can bring it to work and transform it on my desk when I am bored.

Anyway, it is hard to beat the cheap fun of a combiner Transformer for $5.99. Checkout your local Dollar Store for one of these cheaply made plastic robots.

Meet Power Goldan or Ougon Gattai Goldran from the anime Ōgon Yūsha Goldran from 1995-1996. I had never heard of Polyfect Toys till I bought Construction(Devastator knock off). They seem to be the fine purveyors of knockoff robots. Power Goldan will not be a part of my collection, but I find this toy line fascinating. The quality is not terrible and these are not the worst robots I have ever seen. But they are all plastic, the color is terrible, and this one looks kinda cheap. The instructions show he can turn into a dinosaur/dragon type robot and back.

I always find cheap robots fun and really tacky(which is the fun part). So if you don’t mind spending a few bucks on Power Goldan you can add him to your collection on the cheap. I hope they keep extending this line until I see something I like robot wise.

Gundam RGZ-91 Re-GZ & Back Weapon System Deluxe Edition Bandai 2001

Here’s another piece that I bought for a very reasonable price of about 35 dollars.  This one is the RGZ-91 from Char’s Counterattack and was the first transformable Gundam suit. I was hoping it was a big deluxe version but it’s only 7 inches. Still, it’s quite a nice piece and I’m happy with it as I didn’t have this one. Well, I could probably say that for the millions of other Gundam mecha from the various genres (Gundam 0079, 0080, 0082, MS08 Team, Char’s Counterattack, Gundam Seed/Destiny/Wing/Unicorn…)

I finally had some time today and finally took him out of the box. I have only displayed him with the gun because I’m so paranoid about losing pieces.

Here’s the smaller 4.5 inch version of Char’s Gelgoog which I also have it in the big 7.5 inch deluxe version. I actually had some leftover red shoulder armor pieces from the lot from a different Gundam and they just happen to match with this guy.  I think the shoulder pieces are from a Gundam Epyon from Gundam Wing but I think he goes pretty well with this guy too. I have always been a fan of the Gelgoog and Zakus. The combat armors for the bad guys have always been more appealing to me design and color wise.

Below are the Deathscythe Gundam and the Battle Scarred Deathscythe Hell Gundam from Gundam Wing. I got both from a large lot of loose Gundam recently purchased on Craigslist.

Here’s one of the many loose figures that I just purchased. This is the Nataku from Gundam Wing. It is the 4.5 inch figure in the US release that came out from Cartoon Network in 2000.
