DX Chogokin Live Robo! DX 超合金 ライブロボ

Liveman was in many ways one of the most influential Sentai series of the 80s. It employed many innovative hooks into it's plot and designs that are now considered commonplace. The biggest has to be this very thing: Liverobo!

Liverobo is the first animal based mecha to be used in Sentai. Sure Battle Fever J had Battle Shark and Denjiman has Denji Tiger...did they look even close to animals though? Liverobo is made up of three mecha:

1. Jet Falcon
2. Land Lion
3. Aqua Dolphin

1. ジェットファルコン
2. ランドライオン
3. アクアドルフィン

All three combine to form Liverobo when the command is given (合体! ライブディメンション! Gattai! Live Dimension!). Liverobo comes with an assortment of accessories. The Chojuken (超獣剣) is a very nicely designed sword. Also included is the Live Shield (ライブシールド) which is actually part of Jet Falcon and the Double Cannons (ダブルカノン) which are attached to the top of Land Lion. Red missiles are included for the Double Cannons (I had to use Yellow missiles from the Twin Brace in the video) and special Red Twin Missiles are included with Aqua Dolphin (I don't have these missiles). Also included are little Bolt Cardboard Cutouts to fire Missiles at.

This toy holds up very well against modern toy mecha. Not only is it very nicely designed, but incredibly well made. Liveman mecha are probably among the LAST to feature the finest of quality in Sentai Mecha. You look at this toy and imagine that the people who made it took pride in their work unlike some of the junk that has rolled out of Bandai's China and Thailand factories these days.

If I had to find one fault with this toy...it's probably that it's the end of an era...one that really had just started with this toy. Truly a shame.
