Toynami Egyptian-Themed Shogun Warrior from SDCC
I posted about this a few days ago (mentioned here), but since I did manage to shoot photos at the Toynami booth at SDCC last weekend I thought I’d go ahead and share them here with everyone. I really don’t know what I should expect from this toy — or from the new line of Shogun Warriors toys — but as long as the final toy is reasonably close to this design in appearance (and has a decent price) then I will be buying one.

Johnny sokko’s giant robot in fast pack armor?
I know there was some disapproval over at CollectionDX, but I like these. These have a weird mashup appeal. Guess the design influence…
@Openchallenge – Don’t all robots need armor?
@Ryan – I honestly cannot guess the influence. Any links?
The Egyptian is very Giant Robo with a bit of Power Rangers Pyramidas thrown in. Greek is Gaiking with G Gundam Spain Gundam Bull Head theme. The Mayan one has a bird theme that feels like Raideen mixed with Jesse Hernandez’s Aztec vinyls you reviewed a while back. I’ve got a thing for robots with faces in their chests, so I’m hoping these pan out.
