Yessiree, it's Spider-Man and his Giant Robot! Why rely on just your spider-sense, web-slinging abilities and super strength to save the world when you can have a huge robot with a sword and web-motif shield help you (oh, and with a cool "Spidermachine GP-7" car to drive around in, too)? This Chogokin offering from Bandai, based on the goofy 1978 live-action TV show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_(tokusatsu)) from Toei, comes with a fully transformable die-cast and plastic robot that can convert between "Leopardon" robot mode and "Marveller" (really!) spaceship mode, a die-cast "Spidermachine GP-7" car (that can store in the Leopardon) and which includes a mini Spider-Man figure. There's also a larger (16cm tall) soft-vinyl Spider-Man figure in an exciting action pose (he controls the robot with those bracelets, and stores his costume in it!). Of course the robot also has spring-lauched "arm rockets" and Bandai thoughtfully provides a nice display stand to neatly show off all of the aforementioned.

Wow- I wondered if Bandai was going to release a new deluxe version of that 1970s Spidey robot, and they did! I'll have to get one, since the old ones from the 1970s are way expensive. Cool. :up:

Does it have a voice chip? I mean, if Spider-Man said "Spidah-STWING!!!" like he did in that old show, then maybe I'd....

Naaaahhhhhhh. Nothing could convince me to get anything based on that horrendous representation of Spidey.
