Nice collection. I don't know how "original" these designs are. I see obvious influences such as Goshogun, Tekkaman, Danguard Ace / Red Baron / Daikengo. Still, these are awesome. I love the header cards!

From right to left, the header cards say, CYCLONGER V, JETRON X, ROBOT V1, and SUPER X2. The first two headers identify the manufacturer as "Victory Toys"'... All of these characters are original designs. Hope this helps!

What an incredible group! Putting these together must have been an exercise in patience to say the least.

These look great all assembled like this...

Sorry, I know this thread is super duper old....but I have a quick question....

I recently picked up the missile firing red guy, and he absolutely rules, the missile shoots sooooo far

The flip side of the header card has a light blue version of what seems to be the same shaped robot, with a different "face"......

Was this ever made? Is it out there? Is it like...a nemesis or villain to the red guy?

I have yet to see a blue "enemy" of the red guy, but you never know...

The company name actually appears to be "Hikari" Toys, by the way.

Love all of these - the V guy is the easiest to find but this is the first time I have seen the header art. Delicious. Picked up the red robot the other day. All of these are must haves...

The blue Mazinger-ish guy to the direct left of the red missile fire guy could be the blue guy from the card art.

The details match up, except done in green, not gold.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the vague stirrings of desire while staring at that photo. Must resist.

The Red Baron villains from the last post are great... I really love the design ethos for the Red/Mach Baron villains. Have to start tracking those down in earnest.

One of that Doublas sold on YJA a couple weeks ago for a whole bunch... good looking sculpt, unfortunately :lol:

the originals are indeed really cool and unique robots. The Red Baron kaiju on the other hand are epic. They are sculpted in this really rotund and thick style that just can't be beat.
