Review – Toygraph Space Trooper SR-1

Greetings, humans! I’m happy to report that the Space Trooper SR-1 vinyl robot toy is just as much fun as every other Toygraph (website . . . but at this moment the blog and shop are down) Space Trooper toy that I’ve reviewed before. It’s very unfortunate that these toys fell out of favor, but it’s kinda good for people like me who came late to the party because at the moment the toys are still pretty easy to collect. So collect them I will before they start to become tough to find for reasonable prices.

SR-1

According to the Encyclopedia of Kaiju the SR-1 is (typos and all):

“. . . an artificial intelligence created using brain cells transplanted from the Mizaru-1. It’s actions are very aggressive, and it is an all-purpose robot able to use its own judgment in war situations.”

Almost entirely new pieces, the SR-1 fits in perfectly with the rest of the Space Troopers series with simple and smooth lines, minimal colors, and a gorgeous retro style. This entire series is incredibly fun and recommended to anyone who collects vinyl toys and has been enjoying the photos I’ve been posting in the various reviews of the toys in the series.

GITD Head

I need to get whatever equipment and skills are necessary to snap photos of glow-in-the-dark toys because this SR-1 Space Trooper isn’t the first toy that I’ve been unable to get a decent glowing photo of. Anyway, all you need to know is that the head glows and glows brilliantly. You should see the toy shelves in the living room after we turn off the lights a night . . .

And That Ends Words

I’m at a loss for anything else to say. Look at the photos, search for more info on the series online, and then do everything you can to resist this series. I know I failed, but maybe all of you have stronger willpower than I do and you can continue to avoid the attraction of the Space Troopers series.

If you’re unfamiliar with Toygraph’s Space Troopers series I suggest checking out my earlier reviews. These are seriously a lot of fun and I hope to find more of them very soon. In fact, I’m about to open up my World War Robot* toys to trades and I’m hoping to get several Space Troopers toys.
