Godaikins Made by Popy and Packaged by Bandai America Made by Popy and Packaged by Bandai America Bandai America's Super Robot line The Godaikin toy section is grouped into the three U.S. toy releases. The section Godaikin 1 pictures the original 9 toys that were sold around 1983. Godaikin 2 pictures robots sold around 1984 and 1985. Then the final section contains the last release of Godaikin Forces robots. Godaikin robots were made in Japan by the devision of Bandai called Popy toys. They were then repackaged in New Jersey and distributed via California and other East Coast distributors. Godaikin toys ended up being so costly and intricate that the kids couldn't afford them. Unfortuinately American adults weren't marketed to either; the force that could have kept the line going. Transfromers by Takara soon sucked up the market (within a year or 1984) and forced Godaikins to dissappear from the shelves and memories.

Godaikins of 1982 (mostly distributed in 1983)

You will notice that this initial Godaikin release featured toys made back in 1978 all the way up the the 80's. Bandai found the project a great way to sell old stock and save money by using the existing toy molds and engineering. This was a costly mistake for Bandai America as the old toys were heavy and shipping cut into profits.
