I don't know if anyone still cares, but I found out about the mysterious Mazinger lookalike robot whose video was offered on eBay. The video was called "Voltak," and I posted about it on the old board. He's Korean, and is called Taekwon V. There are images of him here: www.japanhero.com/super%20robot%20images/rimages.htm

and you can find out info about him here:
www.koreanfilm.org/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=108&topic_id=4&mesg_id=4&page=

Hope these links work. Nobody may give a frog's behind, but I like contributing to the knowledge base here, however rarely I'm capable of doing so.

Anyone for SUPER BATMAN & MAZINGER V?

Yeah, it's a ripoff -- but for a real Mazinger ripoff, check out "Psycho Armor Govarian" on the Japan Hero page: www.japanhero.com/super%20robot%20images/govarian_images.htm

I've seen him referred to as "lipstick Mazinger." I have a toy version of him that I got as a kid, so I tend to be charitable, but that's a powerful ripoff. And I think he was produced by Nagai's production company!
