Dragon Boy x Bear Model Rokuron Q9 - Red Variant
This toy was
originally advertised for 2016 by Medicom Toy
but I'm unclear on the association. Kikaiju Rokuron Q9 was originally
one of the "villain" toys produced by Popy for Mazinger Z to combat.
Here we have a new mold with proportions similar to the original (the
Popy version had two heads that could fire as missiles). Shima x Dragon Boy x
Bear Model previously did a Dabulas M2 made in the same proportions,
materials and retro box.

I believe that this version is the first made
available - basically an unpainted prototype done in limited numbers
molded in red. There are variations including the eventual release of
the fully painted version. This thing comes in a big box - mine was
partially crushed and I've been promised a replacement. The toy is made
from think vinyl and has limited articulation. The box resembled the
original first assortment of Popy releases - screen printed red and blue
directly on corrugated cardboard.The toy is in a plastic bag with
basically no padding (there is a piece of cardboard wrapped around the
figure) in the box so it moves around a bit during shipping. There's
also a small inserted slip - not sure what it says other than the "Made
in Japan" in one corner and the toy's name in the opposing corner.
