King Robo Mickey & Friends are ready for your pre-orderI don't think I need to introduce this figure anymore. Bandai and Disney collaboration project of taking famous Disney characters and giving them their own mecha versions to pilot is really one of those amazing WTF Japan moments? And this WTF moment is now available for pre-order. The Chogokin Cho Gattai King Robo Mckey & Friends includes Land Goofy, Dash Pluto, Dive Donald, Aqua Daisy, Sky Minnie, Jet Mickey, and Ace Willy to form this mighty 220 mm tall robot of awesomeness. With the pre-order now available, we also get a clear view of every part that forms this Disney powered machine. Each figure has cute cartoon eyes where the visor is at and it looks like maybe all of them can have it switched to show that Disney character piloting the mecha. It's only shown on Mickey but would be snazzy if it's for everyone. We also get to see that Pluto's dog house can be transformed into a shield to be wielded. The figure also comes with a first release pre-order bonus of a six postcard set. What are they of? It's not shown but we can only assume it's postcards full of just as much awesome as this figure. Bandai's Chogokin Cho Gattai King Robo Mickey & Friends is retailing for a whopping ¥12,800 and will be available in March, 2013. If I wasn't spending a good chunk of cash on another mighty fortress coming out a month before this, I would be all over this figure. What about you though? Pre-ordered and planning your budget? Also, where the heck is our animated Disney Mickey & Friends sentai series? [ Pre-order at Hobby Search | AmiAmi | CD Japan ] Did you know?
