Bandai Tamashii Nations Official Site: tamashii.jp (Japan) Special Thanks to Xavier Lim Distributor Bluefin Corp. has provided product specs and high-res photos for two Chogokin Hello Kitty releases from Bandai Tamashii Nations. This ultimate combination of Japan cute and cool brings together the adorable Hello Kitty and awesome diecast robot line -- Chogokin (means "super alloy"in Japanese). Chogokin Hello Kitty portrays this beloved character as a robot that can be piloted by Hello Kitty herself -- small Hello Kitty can sit (sideways of course) in the cockpit in the head area. The Hello Kitty robot features diecast and can be transformed in to three different modes: Drive Mode -- wheels on her legs let you "drive" her on surfaces. Attach the accessory ribbon to her back for Flight Mode. The ribbon disassembles to create fins for her feet for Dive Mode. Three eye mode expression changes including “Angry Mode” and figure also features rocket punch gimmick. Special display stand included that allows posing of Hello Kitty robot in all modes. Fans and collectors can purchase Bandai Tamashii Nations products from authorized Bluefin dealers, including SciFi Japan`s sponsor Anime Jungle.
