ITs BACK and with added ARMOR! Like we said before, kaiju fans are you ready for “what you didn’t know you needed” Originally designed by Noger Chen the illustration went viral a few years back after the illustration was part of a show. Noger’s idea behind the concept was What would represent him as a child growing up in the 80’s. Linking up with designer and soft vinyl veteran, Black Seed Toys to make Nog Toy Noger Chen’s “Goodzila 好吉拉” come to life! Who would have thought mixing Godzilla with a blast of 80’s nostalgia would work so well? Now with King Ghidorah is back and next to continue the ROBO edition look from the CHILDHOOD KAIJU FIGURE 07 series
CHILDHOOD KAIJU FIGURE 07｜ROBO GHINORAH
“Transcending Time and Space! Robo Ghinorah from Another Dimension!”
Robo Ghinorah is like the Mecha Frieza, the machinic King is infused with a brand-new power, intent on destroying the world.
When I was a child, both my brother and I loved Dragon Ball. We would chase after everything related to it, including the manga, movies, VHS tapes, anime, and even games. Before I encountered Slam Dunk, Dragon Ball was probably my GOAT.
This time, Robo Ghinorah pays homage to Mecha King Gidorah, designed as a semi-biological machine monster that comes from the future. However, in terms of the body design, I wanted to try to imitate Toriyama Akira’s mechanical designs, with smooth lines and a style reminiscent of the space-age aesthetics of the 1960s. It has a futuristic feel while also carrying a touch of retro fantasy.
「超時空！穿越而來的機器大魔王！」
像機械弗利沙一樣復活穿越而來，帶著曾經被打敗的屈辱，灌注全新的機械力量，意圖毀滅世界的超時空機器怪獸，機器基NO拉！
小時候跟弟弟都熱愛七龍珠，可能因為一起迷七龍珠比較帶勁，所以當年不論是單行本、劇場版、錄影帶、動畫、甚至是遊戲都會追。在遇見灌籃高手前，七龍珠大概就是我心中漫畫界GOAT。
七龍珠除了熱血的設定，堪稱少年漫畫打鬥天花板，除了流暢如神一般的戰鬥分鏡外，我覺得最猛的就是常在封面或篇頭出現的各種機械設計，小至機車，大至宇宙飛船，鳥山明的機體設計感十足，卻又充滿各種細節與兼顧合理性，比起他的戰鬥分鏡，完全有過之而無不及！
這次的機器基NO拉，致敬機械基多拉，設定成從未來穿越而來的半生物機器怪獸。但在機體設計上，我想要試著模仿鳥山明的機設，線條圓潤，類似60年代的太空時代風格（Space-age），具有未來感卻又帶點復古幻想的方向。
仔細看可以發現我沒有加入機械弗利沙的設計，而用比較偏向紅領巾軍團的機器人設計作為主要輪廓，因為想要呈現「似乎這樣設計真的可行」的感覺。
比起複雜的線條，我更喜歡這樣似乎已經商品化的簡約機械設計，有點浪漫，沒有那麼實用感，但卻十分帥氣好看！
左右兩頭戴著的單眼科技眼鏡，致敬戰鬥力偵測器「史考特」，右手致敬人造人間16號的手砲，做為威力強大的終極武器，身體上的各種細節，其實是從基NO拉穿的制服演變而來，右胸上寫著「RG42」的烙印，代表ROBO GHINORAH，42則是致敬總共有42集單行本的七龍珠。
總之，你可以把他當成，結合紅領巾機器人軍團、人造人間的鳥山明風格機器怪獸！
