A question for Jose or other who may know

[Dinobot]

I recently had a picture with a figure in it Jose which you said may be popy. My local shop owner doesnt know squat about this figure, but would like to know more. I took a couple of closer pics for you to see better.

After some google-fu I was able to find out that this is Godaikin - Machine Dolphin. Maybe if you search more on that series name you might get more details.

I unfortunately don't know anything about Godaikin.

Here's a pic of it in box. Looks like it is a triple changer. (copy and paste into addy bar)

I had the vavilos dx figure from that series once.

wonder if its some sort of prelude or spin off from gobots since they where both bandi i belive.....(i know that tonka was partners with them on that line)

I thought it was more of a Power rangers type show. Vehicles rather than AI.

Maate! Thanks for the pictures. I was guessing Popy because of the colors - and after reading Countdown's post and link it can be confirmed. Those old Popynica are real classy IMO...

Do you have the figure (machine Man) that goes inside the car/robot suit?

Godaikins are awesome. A couple things to keep in mind with them are completeness (the bigger the robot, the greater the number of tiny, tiny breakable pieces) and condition: the die-cast can chip and scratch easily, especially on the more elaborate combiners.
