LOL and he rips out his enemies' hearts/lungs, just like tobacco!

I think I remember seeing one of those for sale at Soul of Anime a long time ago...

I actually had no idea that they had done anime for those things lol. I have a couple of the reissue gold lightans - I had forgotten about those. I should dig those up as well.

Ah... Gold Lightan. Truly an oddball robot. I picked up the re-issues a number of years ago and really like them. All are very solid. A lot of diecast. As for the anime, something tells me I don't think it would fly nowadays.

I think Toy Traders still has some of the re-issues on clearance for $10 each. A smoking good deal! Whoops! Sorry bout the bad pun.

No...but yeah that would be awesome. Going back to "food" transformers, in Japan they released a little transforming Cup Noodle robot that actually lights up and has an LED timer so you know when your Cup Noodle is ready XD

EDIT: Apparently it was a promotional giveaway...the robot actually talks as well, and was made by a legit robotics company.

Here's the Telecoma Warrior "Drinkman" version

[Darth Cylon]

LOL that looks like G1 Cosmos.

[kirbenvost]

Hahaha love it! So awesome.

And dammit now I want some Cup Noodles. Seriously, where can you get that brand around here? I only see Sapporo Ichiban and Mr Noodles in all the mainstream grocery stores, including T&T.

Well, you can get the authentic Nissin Cup O Noodles from Japanese grocery stores (places like Konbiniya, Izumiya, Fujiya I would think), though they're not going to be cheap since they're imports. I've had the North American Nissin ones before, though I haven't looked recently...maybe T&T?
