Looking it up now, it must have been Matchbox's, but back then I thought it was the most amazing toy ever based on that box! During the same time, or perhaps on another visit circa the same era, there was the huge SDF-1 toy (Takatoku), but it didn't make as much impression to me as this Voltron did. Perhaps I should pick up the Chogokin one day.

All the joints are nice and tight, despite being made of 15 parts/vehicles. Two handed sword poses are no problem. Articulation galore. All the vehicles have nice little touches. And it just has a crap-ton of accessories. There are a few design limitations (can’t really rotate the forearms, so that the wheels are facing the torso instead of the back). But it’s one hell of a collector’s piece.
m0n5t3r Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 I thought the SMP would be bigger. But they're somewhere in between the SRC and the Revoltech in terms of size/scale. Still, it's the only Enkidudu that's available.
