Gaiking Popy Robot

Also known as the Shogun Warrior 2 in 1 robot Gaiking, this toy transforms into a skull after the legs and shoulders are removed.  The head and antlers tuck inside the skull.

Pictured is the first version of the toy where the shoulders are much smaller and the legs are painted a lighter blue color.  You will also notice that the screws in the back and folding design is slightly different than later releases.

The red plastic "female" attachment secures into a stud inside the Gaiking skull.

As with most Popy toys the fists fire off into your brother or sister.  You will notice the Popy Chogokin symbol in yellow, red, and black on the box bottom front.

Now for a family photo.  It helps to put perspective on the heft of the original robot
