When you think of Japanese āsuper robots,ā iconic robots and mecha like Tetsujin 28-go and Mazinger Z come to mind. Soon, Hello Kitty will get in on the act.
Super robots usually have pilots, and this Hello Kitty super robot is piloted by, well, Hello Kitty. This collectible is around 4-inches tall and has several different āmodes,ā like āUnderwater Modeā and āFlying Mode.ā Kitty-chan even has a āRocket Punchā that shoots her fists-like missiles.
Going on sale next June in Japan for 4,440 yen (around US$45), this is part of Bandaiās Chogokin (āSuper Alloyā) line.
