New updates of Max Gokin The Big-O. 39,800 Yen is a very hefty price tag indeed...

Thanks Heer0san, LED light up eyes have been confirmed for this figure. But it hardly explains the insane price tag. I think I'd rather go for an DYRL Macross SDF-1 given that price range.

When it rains it pours.


Max Factory will also be rolling out a Figma Dorothy.




Thanks to Dead-man over at RobotJapan for the image.

Goodsmile (Maxfactory) 's webpage for Big O is up.


Click me


Hmm 1050 Grams (over a Kilo) 30CM (1 foot) tall. Out by April 2011 for 39800Yen

Looks like the gimmicks are essentially what we've noted so far, no other new gimmicks.

Looks like Max Gokin Big-O will be having some friends in the same scale.

Big Duo and Big Fau.




Unfortunately, these will be made from soft vinyl (like those Ultraman monsters action figures) and not diecast


Lots of various pics here from the recent 2011 Wonderfest in Japan from Goodsmile and Maxfactory (most Figmas though).

Slightly OT but here's a quick look at the Figma Dorothy R. Wayneright and the Wonderfestival 2011 Exclusive Roger Smith


Figma R. Dorothy Wayneright





I’ve never bought a single Figma figure until now, I’ve always read about how fragile they are. I jumped on the bandwagon after they finally made a figure based one of my favorite Robot Anime, Big-O.





R. Dorothy is a gynoid, more commonly known as a fembot. The “R” stands for “Robot”. The figure comes with a display stand, extra hands, a face looking to her right, a mop and the pet cat, Pero.
















She also has an alternate front hair piece, depicting her “disc drive” ejected.
















Wonderfestival 2011 Exclusive Roger Smith.






This figure came out first as an exclusive to the Wonderfest event but later came out on the Goodsmile Website on preorder basis only. It’s too bad I missed out on the preorder deadline (found out about it too late) as even international buyers were welcome. I had to pick this up on the secondary market.



Roger Smith




I really love the animated style in this series, very, very close to Batman the Animated Series.











Optional faces.






Roger Smith – the Negotiator.



It’s really cool that his briefcase opens up to show “cash”.





Optional hands and standard Figma figure stand.






Also included is an optional left forearm piece. Showing Roger’s “watch” for calling in Big-O









Big-O, Show time!!













I’m using the SOC Big-O, since I find the Max Factory version too expensive and the scale doesn’t work perfectly either way anyway.





With Dorothy R. Wayneright














I love this figure, it just sucks that he’s an exclusive and costs more than Dorothy. Personally I’d probably go nuts (and broke) if Figma ever decides to release a whole line dedicated to Super Robot pilots.
