Treasure X Robot Gold Review

Digging up the photoshoot for the Western Treasure X blindbox I picked up on a whim last year. Back then, short Treasure X videos kept popping up in my feed, sparking my curiosity to check out this toy lineup, the same brand that once produced Mighty Beanz in the 2000s.

Long story short, I decided to grab a Treasure X Robot due to my soft spot for anything mecha-related, even though lineups like Treasure X Islands or the Aliens variants are actually more popular. Overall, I really enjoy the game aspect of this product, even if it’s mainly aimed at a younger demographic.

I think I would also enjoy Treasure X Islands, since its playset gimmicks remind me of the Micro Machines playsets I loved as a kid. Although my blindbox for Treasure X Robot turned out to be a bit of a bust, I’m still eager to explore the series further in the future.

Mobile Suit Gundam Gquuux Robot Damashi Kikeroga

 I think it is almost 6 months since Gundam Gquux finished airing and now we are getting one of the big-ticket items for this short homage series of Universal Century. The alternate version of Braw Bro Mobile Armor in Gquux, Kikeroga now gets its awaited Robot Spirit! Obviously as P-Bandai item. Announced with the same timing with SHF Challia Bull, Robot Spirits Kikeroga will sold for 32000 Yen with May 2026 release schedule.

Kikeroga is one of the mecha design that truly stood out from Gquux which exemplified the result from Evangelion production team collaboration. At first a lanky mecha out of Braw Bro MA might look weird but it does the job to amplify the weirdness factor of Zeon Super Weapon which was quite high already in original timeline. While Kikeroga never really have much screen time in Gquux, its fight with Psyco Gundam and Gyan really establish its reputation as Newtype Superweapon that are not trifled with.

At first I thought Kikeroga was out of the blue thing by Gundam series but It had precedent from Gundam Thunderbolt. In the final arc, the Psyco Zaku Protagonist pilot hijacked a captured Braw Bro with his Gundam and turned his Mobile Suit into literal one man army only to be matched with EFSF take on Perfect Zeong piloted by his rival. Given the hefty price tag, I will just skip this one and wait for cheaper substitute, maybe even getting a HG for it and focus at MRS Gyan Gquux instead.

Saya no Uta Nendoroid Saya

I think it has been around 20 years now since Saya no Uta has been released and this moefied Lovecraftian horror got her merchandise released once again as Nendoroid! I think it is around 7-8 years already since her PVC figure by Wing got released, usually it was Nendoroid that got released first but for Saya it is the other way around. Scheduled for July 2026 Nendoroid Saya will be sold for 6800 Yen.

Saya no Uta is one of the famous VN by Urobuchi which somehow able to convey forbidden love between human and cosmic horror in beautiful yet grotesque manner. It seems to be rather random for this old Nitroplus VN getting a Nendoroid but I suppose 20^th anniversary of once the golden child of Nitroplus VN still worth celebrating. Since I already had the PVC figure, I don’t really know If I want to obtain this Nendoroid, though I personally wouldn’t mind getting one if Al-Azif getting her 2.0 treatment as well.

Jaki Blocks F5 4 Holy Beast Mecha Brick Model

 
 Chinese 4 Divine Beasts have always been popular material to be used in East Asia Pop Culture. Obviously with the rise of China hobby industry over past few years, mecha niche also get its share of merchandise with 4 Divine beasts motifs perhaps to the extent of being overused. After impressing me with their Super Mecha Champions Brick Model, Jaki F5's take four divine beast caught my attention once again.

While other Chinese brand like Sembo already had their 4 Divine Beast Brick model reach overseas market, I notice Jaki F5's specimen remains to be superior one. Apart from superior sculpts and mecha design, standing over 20+ cm. These Jaki F5 Brick models feature seamless transformation gimmick where the 4 Divine beast mecha able to transform into animal form without part swapping. Personally I am curious how the execution of the gimmick on the end product would look like.

Personally I quite like the Azure Dragon version due to its straightforward design and similar aesthetics with Ryoma from Shurato but the Black Tortoise look promising as well. In 1688 I have seen some of the merchants sold these for around 30 RMB, likely requiring bulk purchase while english site like Alibaba sell these on price starting from 10 USD. These products certainly look promising if a local distributor could brought in. To wrap up this post, I will just leave the reference picture of Jaki 4 Holy Beast mecha in both forms.
