That's hilarious. Not exactly seventy dollars worth of hilarious, but I'm amazed I've never seen a similar real toy...

I literally laughed out loud. I can sort of see that coming out in the 1970s (for those not in the know, Soul of Chogokin is a Bandai line reissuing a lot of cult/popular robot toys from their history...), but that someone would consider re-releasing it now? Ouch... Adds a new meaning to "you could take someone's eye out with those"

What should we call them? Bombshell Boobs?

Rocktets? Boombs?

Damn! I so want that toy now. That's so worth seventy dollars. I wish I were worth seventy dollars...

Strap a couple of IBM's to your chest and you'll be worth that much.

This bit made me laugh most for some reason:

For obvious reasons, Aphrodai’s tawny hues, delicate design and brassiere-mounted missiles placed her in visual contrast to her cohorts.

I already knew about that odd missile placement from watching the filipino-dubbed anime as a kid. I never really understood the sour look on my parents face when they saw this back then....

When I read the "new meaning to 'could put your eyes out with those'," paired with the 70s re-issue stuff, I had a feeling it'd be this thing. (Though, I didn't actually know that there was a toy of it til now.) Yeah, in the Tranzor Z cartoon, those were the mech's only weapon, as I recall - and they were rarely used. Instead, she was usually in the "Oh, help me, Tranzor Z!" role - which, why bother to have a giant robot at all, then, if it's completely helpless? - managing to just expand the vomitous sexism of the thing

Honestly, she makes Arcee seem incredibly useful and empowering....
