GX-23 Muteki Chojin Zambot 3

Here's Bandais Soul of chogokin GX-23 Zambot 3, its a die-cast robot equipped with variant modes and accessories,  the cresent moon design on the forehead has a very samurai look to it and I love the way it transforms. Though the original yen price was 18 390 yen, I got mine  at a sale  at suntec city not as hefty as it was first released

 Heres some scans from the intruction booklet it came with.

Zambot 3 is derived from the Zambot Combination sequence in which Zambird, Zambull and Zambase join together to form one invincible robot. These individual vehicles were built by the survivors of a race indigenous to the planet called Beal,  having relocated to Earth, the survivors, the Jin Family, hope to defend themselves and the Earth against the shadowy Gaizok.

Zambird is the best piece of all, transforming into a fighter jet and into a robo too. This chogokin version also had guns which combine to form a bigger gun for Zambird.

Zambot 3 is armed with a number of weapons such as the Arm Punch, the Zambot Grap, the Buster Missile and the Zambot Missile, all of which are engineered to counter the savage wiles of Gaizokâs Mech .

Zambot suffers from the leaning syndrome where the weight of the diecast of the upper body is to heavy thus leaning forward. Maybe if the ankle joints were spring clicked maybe it won't lean but nontheless this is a one good chogokin...
