BALDIOS

3661435479_984517551a Space Warrior Baldios or Uchu Senshi Baldios, a super robot animation series by Ashi Productions with its full length feature film produced by Toei in 1981, which has a strong environmental theme. Another old animation with a really cool ending and mecha.
And no its not another Gundam anime.....though he looks like one and many misconceptions due to the design of the face, maybe the designers were from Gundam.
Anyways, here's the main robot driven by Marin and the Blue-fixer team. Cm corporation Brave Gokin #19 Baldios!!!

Shown here is the regular version (12 100 yen), there's also a limited (500 pcs) Anime coloured version. Packed in classic styrofoam and not the bigger kinda of chogokins, Baldios has other factors that offsets its size.....

Baldios is mainly diecast and has minimal plastic... accessories includes 2 Pulsar Sabers, Baldishield, Silver chrome Bow gun,  2 shoulder cannons, 2 extensions for the sabers and the threadwheels.

Most chogokins has additional fists for posing, Baldios has non but in-turn featured poseable hands with trigger finger on both hands though he doesn't hold his swords and shield very well.
Baldios transforms into 3 vehicles, PulsarBurn ship piloted by the main character Marin Regan forms the main body, arms and head.

 Space craft Baldiprise piloted by Jack Oliver forms the right leg and feet.

Cutter ranger driven by Raita Hokuto forms the left leg and feet is a land vehicle that also has the ability to fly..though it has threadwheels, there's also an added real working ones that attaches to it.

I just love Baldios though it has a kinda hefty price of 12 100 yen for a 20 cm robot, you can get a much bigger Bandai SOC robots eg, Voltes V or Zambot 3, at around that price but Baldios does has its perks, though with the lack of artculation, the transformation is breath-taking and one of a kind, another work of art by CM corp.......
