Here's G-14 King J-der from the King of Braves Gaogaigar series by Takara, released in the 1990s, King J-der is a battle spaceship comprising of J-Der and J-Ark. Though I waited for a Cms version of it, sad to say, I doubt there will ever be a revamped version of king J-der. Although many people may not think highly of King J-der and its a big brick robot (much like Starconvoy and Grandius), it looks really cool as it stands really tall, 40 cm tall.
Though the cardboard is thin and flimsy, box art is good featuring the animation of King J-der on the corner.

The toy comes in a styrofoam tray covered and taped with a cardboard, intructions and sticker sheet in a small plastic bag.
Good news about of vintage toys, transformation is simple and stickers are very minimal, so no hassle trying to figure the whole thing out but with the simplicity, articulation and details are a major eyesore.

J-Der forms the head and arms of the combined King J-der, J-der stands roughly 6 inches tall.
Mega-fusion time, combination between J-Der and the J-Ark transforms them into giant robot, King J-der, a massive, heavily armed fortress.
The only accesory that it came with is the J-Quath, the ark-shaped anchor which can be attached to the arms.
Though with the lack of articulation, or should I say a brick, the sheer size makes its presence felt in any collection, just in case, pictured is a 8 inch Kato for size comparison.
Though this is the only transformable full-scale version of King J-der available, making it not easily obtained nowadays but if you're lucky he still pops up on ebay and yahoo Japan from time to time. If you love big robots and old school is your thing, King J-Der is a definite sure-shot!!
