Post Soul of Sofubi Robocon.
Has anyone gotten this? If so, check out the eyes! THE EYES!!! Bandai did an extra layer of tampo printing on the pupils that makes it look like the ventilation holes on the original suit.

Amazing that Bandai would go so far with a little 1000 yen vinyl figure just to say "look at what we can do!"

(I think I'm the only one impressed by this.)

No you're not... this is one the best sofubis yet.
I received my Robocon set yesterday and am really happy with them.
I hope they do more in the series. Now if we could just have them do Bibyun, Keiji K, Fireman, Sanagiman.....Maybe even Kure Kure Takora.... ? :)

Here's a bad picture of one in a badly labeled auction (it's not by Aoshima, and it's not diecast):

It just came out two weeks ago from Bandai and it's 1,000 yen. Available wherever Soul of Sofubi toys are sold.

I got the Robocon and the Nurse. I hope Bandai releases all the Robocon characters like this. I collect the Popy 5-inch Robocon vinyls so these new guys fit right in.

BTW- the attached tag says Robocon is part of the Soul of Soft Vinyl series...
