Description

This Japanese robot, presented here, is a figurine from the Capsule Chogokin range, identifiable by the original box visible in the photo. It is a "Deluxe Super Metal Black" model, referenced CGA-07B, produced by Popy, an iconic brand of the Bandai group. The illustration on the front shows a robot with the typical aesthetic of Japanese super robots, with bright colors: blue, yellow, red, and black, as well as prominent yellow horns and a massive torso. The Popy logo is clearly visible in the upper left corner, attesting to the authenticity of this Japanese edition.

The box features a clear visual of the robot, highlighting its distinctive elements: red shoulders, black forearms, blue breastplate, orange and yellow helmet, and accessories visible in the lower part of the image. The inscription "DELUXE SUPER METAL BLACK" occupies the lower part, emphasizing that this is a black ("Black") version of the Chogokin range, known for its die-cast toys with a metallic appearance. The mention "Capsule" indicates a series of mini-robots or reduced-size robots, faithful to the tradition of Japanese toys from the 70s and 80s.

The original packaging, with Japanese and English graphics, as well as the reference CGA-07B on a yellow background in the upper right, confirm the classification of this product in the category of super robot collector's items. The box shows slight signs of wear on the corners, typical of a used toy kept in its original packaging.

Did you know? The Chogokin range ("super alloy" in Japanese) was launched by Popy/Bandai in 1974 and revolutionized robotic toys by introducing die-casting for robot figurines. The term "Chogokin" is inspired by Go Nagai's manga, and these toys have become emblematic of Japanese pop culture, notably thanks to series like Grendizer and Raideen.
