BANDAI Announces Chogokin King Robot Mickey & Friends (1/14) | Anime Gallery | Tokyo Otaku Mode (TOM) Shop: Figures & Merch From Japan

Everyone's favorite Disney characters have joined forces as a gigantic robot!

BANDAI has announced its latest Chogokin creation, a robot made of several Disney characters known as the "Chogokin King Robot Mickey & Friends". The figure will go on sale in late March 2013 for 13,440 yen ($164).

In addition to popular characters Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto, the majestic 7-part figure also features the original version of Mickey from the anime short “Steamboat Willie”. Each of the mecha parts have fully movable limbs and are aptly named "Jet Mickey", "Sky Minnie", etc. After the mecha parts have been combined to form the "King Robot Mickey & Friends", the robot's eye movement can be controlled by a lever in its head. Each of the characters can also been seen in their mecha’s cockpit as they control their individual mecha.

TOM has previewed several Chogokin and S.H.Figuarts figurines at BANDAI's "TAMASHII NATION 2012", but this mashup is simply incredible!

Since its inception in 2008, BANDAI's Collector’s Division has been working to broaden its mostly male audience. With the release of this new figure, BANDAI hopes to open up to a new generation of fans.
