That is Robotman 2 which was the 1978 version of Robotman (1975) which was known as Biotron in the U.S.

I remember seeing this guy in a catalog as a kid and having my mind blown: Biotron + Shogun Warrior-esque armament.

22,000Yen (approx: $225) is a very good price.

yep. i think it's a pretty good price too, but i think that auction was relisted a whole pile of times before anybody bit. There are some other good ones too- Godfighter, and the goofy guy that I always forget his name from the4 Jeeg cartoon uses the main body part.

Thanks

well there are two.
One that uses the mini robotman body (microman sized) and the other uses the big body. uh... still smaller since he has his own little sitting down pinner legs and pinner arms though. I don't have one, but ithink there is some pachinko shinanigans in his chest too.

Robotman 2 is the same size as Robotman (he is mostly comprised of new colors of old parts)

I forgot his name as well, but he also comes with a weird baby in a basket type thing that hangs around his neck. Super strange.
