Back in 1978, Toei company teamed-up with Marvel Comics to develop a new version of Spidey storyline out of the normal comic line. The first live-action 41 episode series Toei did was Spiderman.
This version of Spiderman was very much different from the Marvel comics version, much like the tokusatsu shows and sentais in that era, Spider-Man now has a giant spaceship called the Marveller that transformed into a giant super robot Leopaldon to battle giant alien monsters sent by TETSUJYUJIDAN , Spiderman also had a super car called the Spider Machine.
Heres another nice addition from Bandai's Soul of Chogokin line, GX-33 Leopaldon and Spiderman.
Solid robot mode with a good weight and feel to it.
Transformation is simple with 2 sets of arms for the Marveller mode and the other for posing in robot mode.
The stands cool which stores all accesories and weapons, 2 spider-machines included, a mini version that fits in Marveller and a bigger which is stored in the base.
There's also 2 spidey figures, a mini one and a Soul of vinyl 5" one. Nicely detailed and painted and came with a clip stand.
The weapons included was 1 sword and a web shield, poseabilty wasn't that great but this is another classic vintage character brought back to you from the Soul of chogokin line, if some robots are like a 1000 pc Jigsaw puzzle to transform and simplicity is your game, this robo is the one for you.....
