 machine blasters
 think there is another name for these guys but i just doesnt come to mind right now . the ones in the pic are not too hard to come by and not that expensive . bullmark did some mid size versions that are very rare . " junior " machinders were also made along with a boss pilder missle fire launch base . mattel also sold these as jumbo machinders overseas based on thier shogun warrior line .

Nah, you got it right. The full name is "Blocker Army IV: Machine Blasters", but that's just semantics.

That's the robot's name on the far right, followed by Sandaio, Boss Palder, and Bull Ceaser on the far left.

I have a pic of the Robo Kress and Sandaio mid size somewhere. I'll try to dig them up. Machine blasters are dope. Great thread!

Very cool! I like the Takemi ones but the BULLMARK ones...wow!
Expensive, but cool as all hell.
Here's a shot of them (minus Picotto).

Takemi versions (first pic) = cheap. Maybe only 3,000 yen or so MiBag.
Bullmark versions = A lot. I've been seeing them go for $300+++ each!

I don't really recall -- but I don't think that high. Maybe more like $500.
