Nice. You wrote the Gigantor theme song too, didn’t you. :-)
The toy has even freakier proportions than the animated version, with that teeny
tiny pin head. I made mine proportioned somewhere between the original Giant
Robo from the movie (man in robot suit) and the one in the anime series.

Great photos, Brian -- except for the black fists against the black
background. Maybe some special photos of just those, against white?

The GRD might not be posable, but it needs a stop-motion film built around
it. Workers scurrying, mech bay gantries retracting, weapons deploying, mail
getting delivered; music pounding in the background. With Photoshopped
glow-glare to the eyes. (No shiny metal sparkles, though -- this is
definitely a bot with a matte finish.)

Today I uploaded some more pictures to Brickshelf that you can see post
moderation. GR-D indeed does have a hidden mega stereo speaker bank to play
pounding music. It’s powered by a nuclear reactor, so it should have plenty of
wattage.

Okay, now somebody needs to build a replica of the Big O, complete with >Final
Resort Secret Chest Cannon of Single-Shot Ultimate Doom....

I was thinking about it at one time, particularly because the massive arm
structures might be interesting to build. I also liked the flying Big Duo.
