Roboto Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Great looking box design and yes MH is always adding new stuff as they continue there robot builds. I like the new version of the 2nd meter robot in yellow but they have removed the smoking unit from the head as the first version had and it was listed with lit red eyes a few months ago . They both walk with moving arms yet the first version cost around $149.00 and smoked very well and now the 2nd version version with no smoke and it cost $549.00. Now this is a big difference between the 2.Check out how well this first version smokes I did buy one last year and it is just like in this video from MH.http://www.metalhouse-tokyo.com/product12-e.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrarobotman Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It appears that good times may very well be ahead for us toy robot collectors. We may not know at all what is to come from Metal House and I find that to be exciting in itself just getting a hint of new things to come along with some of those unique designs with the boxes mentioned. I understand the point of the cost rising to keep pace with a low number of buying collectors but I must completely agree with Roboto here with his example of the new meter robot. At almost 4x the cost and not to smoke seems way off par to me.I love new robots and I always will but I do have more important things to spend that much money on. Like Roboto, I have had concerns about the newest models when I received them- paint coming off certain parts, wobbly, jagged walking and the usual same boxes with paper labels glued on- that is unacceptable to me .In ending, I hope Metal House truly does have many new robots for us to purchase and so this hobby continues well into the future but the new Metal House will need to improve on the quality and also somehow lower the prices for me to personally continue.

Roboto Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yes there quality has come down I just sent another one back and if there replacement arrives like the same I will just get my cost back. There last models like the Metal Revolution and Video robots were great they had the quality the colors and they both smoked very well and the cost was around $175.00. What they have now for the $500.00 range are versions that I will not be buying. Perhaps in time things will be better hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Here is a new robot from Metal House called the Fighting meter robot that is also a Rotomatic. I like the white version very nice. Also a not so clear photo of the Vulcan machine gun robot also a rotomatic but looks like this version has not 2 but 4 guns. Check out there videos here. http://www.metalhouse-tokyo.com/product17-e.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboto Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Here we have another look at the Vulcan Roto-bot with guns a blazing. Looks like they have taken what is left of the Red Space evils and made an excellent conversion into this Machine gun Vulcan with his 4 flashing guns as they also roto around. Another look at what MH has done to the white Space evil with this conversion. They have added the meter and a green flashing single barrel gun with its roto-body called The Meter Fighting Robot. It looks like they have a matching chrome boots added to both versions along with there arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Here we have what is called prototype 2015 which as you can see uses parts from another prototype called Big 34. I like this version since it looks great the eyes and left ear light up and the eyes change color from Green to Red. This version looks like a roto-bot and not known yet if that meter works as well. The height is the same as a Space evil and the legs have been stamped different. This version should have been called Little 34. Also for the cost of this one that head which looks like it could have become a smoker does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Now available from Robot Island as a pre-order the Vulcan rotomatic with his rotating machine guns and storage box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Another look of the Fighting meter robot with box. I see in this photo they have lined up the green barrel with the chrome circle plug now if only they would have used 2 green barrels this for me would have been a done deal.

Roboto Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 There seems to be a few more of the Thunderbird tin toys still for sale thru Metal House/Osaka tin toy. They are 10.5" tall walking robots with there resin heads and that great looking graphic box with there special ID Cards. They still demand a nice price from the $450.00 to $850.00 range.

Roboto Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have always wondered what happened to this Giant version. Was it a prototype of things to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBOHUNTER Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I have always wondered what happened to this Giant version. Was it a prototype of things to be?Hopefully it disappeared. Space Giants should always have the claw arms. I'd like to see a version with proper claw arms like the smaller plastic Horikawa fly eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Here are the different Dino robots that came from Metal House in there color combos.
