March 2003 - A new figure from the classic '60's live-action robot series, Johnny Soko & His Flying Robot, will soon be on collectors' shelves, and it is available exclusively through Diamond Comic Distributors!

Johnny Soko & His Flying Robot is a Japanese TV serial very similar to another classic Japanese show, Ultraman. Through 26 episodes, the ordinary boy Johnny Soko and his Giant Robot fought Space Mummies, Giant Eyeballs, mad scientists, and other monsters to save the planet from out-of-this-world threats. The influence of the show has carried over through generations, and now fans of the serial and related shows can add an all-new super robot action figure to their collections.

Imported from Japan, the Giant Robo Vinyl Action Figure is a marvelous replica of the heroic flying steel war machine from the '60's cult TV series. This 7" tall figure comes fully detailed and painted, and features 10 points of articulation. Scheduled to ship in July 2003, this is one giant robot that no fan or collector should be without.
