INFORMATION
A number of classic super robots have been launched, with "large size" and "movability" as the selling point. The "GABM" (GRAND ACTION BIGSIZE MODEL) series of toys launched by the Japanese toy company EVOLUTION TOY is scheduled to be released in April 2023. A large-scale movable three-dimensional toy featuring the original character "Energy Iron King" (エネルガーZ) from the classic "Invincible Iron King" !
"Invincible Iron King Kong" (マジンガーZ, Mazinger Z, also translated as "Mazinger Z") , created by the famous cartoonist Nagai Hao , is believed to be a work that many people are familiar with and a beautiful memory of childhood. It was first published in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in February 1972, and it was animated and broadcast on TV in October of the same year. Later, when it was broadcast around the world, it received considerable praise and was broadcast in Spain, Italy and other European countries. At the time, it also achieved an amazing rating of 80% (Spain also built a large statue of the Invincible Iron King), which shows its extraordinary charm.
Some friends may not know the origin of this "Energy Iron King Kong". In fact, it is the most primitive appearance when Mr. Nagai Hao first conceived the Invincible Iron King. Since the inspiration for Iron King Kong was originally thought of by Mr. Nagai Hao when he was driving in a traffic jam, he first thought of it from the perspective of the car. The original plan was to let the driver ride a motorcycle and ride the sloping board to the top of the robot to integrate with it. , It was only later that this idea was revised into a command boat small plane, and the shape of the robot's head was modified, and it became the current Invincible Iron King. Later, this idea was applied to the second generation of Mulan "Diana A" (ダイアナンA).
The energy iron King Kong of the GABM series launched by this EVOLUTION TOY is a product that materializes the original idea of Mr. Nagai Hao, with a total height of about 40 cm. It can be seen that it has a similar appearance to the current Invincible Iron King Kong. Appearance and appearance, but the head is relatively different, the command boat has become a motorcycle, and the robot has a backboard for the motorcycle to ride on, which looks a bit like a cape. In addition, the shape of the heat release plate on the chest is also more rounded.
