I have one of those T-28's you have on the top shelf to the far right....mine is gold....i bought him for 5 bucks at a local shop....he's still one of my faves, they can easily be positioned into dancing poses.

Nice collection.I've always been a fan of the Ark Kong.Those Star Trek figures bring back some good memories for me.

I wouldn't say it's minty, but it's in pretty nice condition. I scored him boxed at a local store (Frank & Sons, for you local geeks) for cheap.





There were some changes made from the original Popy version and the U.S. Shogun Warrior version; I believe the U.S. version didn't come with his sword.

Excellent. I get to use a bit more of mileage on this pic.

I think it's a different company; these little Soft Garage bowling balls (12.5 oz. each) are too heavy to be pulling River Dance moves like yours. That Gold Tet is nice; who makes it?

I'm not certain...there's nothing on the feet, and i bought him loose, he's vinyl and small...about 4.5 - 5" tall

Awesome!

Who made that thing?

I THINK Sideshow Toys made it.

It's my understanding that Voltes V is absolutely beloved in the Philippines. A matter of National Pride with a political history.

Yeah. I haven't seen any of the original anime, but I believe it was banned by the 'powers that be' in the Philippines back in the day because it represented uprising.

Wow! I enjoyed looking at all of those photos. I used to have a bunch of those Megos when I was a kid. Brings back memories. I love the shot of Giant Robot flying. Thanks for posting.

I didn't think there would be so many Mego-heads on this board. Here are some pics of my favorite Mego: The Dark Knight.

Yes! Both of you are correct!

For me and a lot of filipino fans, Voltes V symbolizes uprising---a fight against a dictator during the dark days of our Martial Years.

The last two episodes (43 and 44 I think) were not shown because it was all about a revolt. Having controlled the media, the regime was afraid it might spark a revolution thru the last two episodes.

This toy means so much to me and a lot of filipinos who were young and was "deprived" of the ending during that time.

During the 90's--the whole series was shown once again after more than 20 years. The TV Network, where I work now, was behind the re-run. It was an emotional day when the first episode of Voltes V was aired once again.

Looking at your diecast now makes me want to go on all out hunting again. If you have leads please help.

Thanks.

Neat collection, ton's of stuff I am not familiar with.

damn. thats some really cool stuff, and some incredible photos! nice collection!
