Story
Humans live in a three-dimensional world, and just as a coin has two sides, no one knows of the existence of the Machine Dimension. However, in the Machine Dimension, an unbelievable phenomenon occurred. After being distorted and separated, a part of the Machine Dimension was ejected into the three-dimensional world. The ruler of this mechanical world is the utterly evil King Baakuda. He attempts to control Earth using various machines and animals, endangering humanity; if their destructive actions cannot be stopped, it will lead to a catastrophe.
The Golden Warrior is a valiant fighter dedicated to combating King Baakuda and protecting Earth's safety, and thus hopes Hiroshi (Xiaolong) can assist. This secret is known only to Hiroshi, often leading to various comical situations among his teachers and classmates. His efforts are not in vain, thwarting Baakuda's schemes and, through various stories, conveying the message that love must be shown to humans, animals, and even inanimate objects, and that nothing should be arbitrarily destroyed, so that society may become more harmonious and peaceful.
Scope Lightan
A robot that transforms from a cylindrical lighter, equipped with a high-performance telescope, excelling in reconnaissance and enemy detection. He supports the Golden Warrior Corps using abilities like x-ray vision, and in combat, he can also fire lasers from the telescope at his base. On one occasion, he used a move similar to Golden Lightan's "Golden Crush (ゴールドクラッシュ)," called "Scope Crush (スコープクラッシュ)."
The Golden Warrior's first junior teammate - Scope Lightan makes a grand appearance! This model not only faithfully recreates the design of Scope Lightan from the classic 1981 anime "Golden Warrior" but also incorporates innovative features and precise construction, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and technological breakthroughs in model design!
What I'm buying is childhood memories!
The Scope Lightan robot mode stands approximately 150mm tall, crafted from die-cast alloy and high-grade engineering plastic. It features full transformation and full storage, allowing seamless conversion between robot and lighter modes without part-swapping. Whether for collecting, displaying, or playing, it delivers an ultimate visual and operational experience.
As a child, I often imitated Golden Lightan, using "Golden Electric Palm" on my classmates... Now, I can finally own my own Scope Lightan, just like Xiaolong!
Shohoriku has meticulously recreated Scope Lightan's lighter form and robot mode. It's clear the creators prioritized the lighter form! Although it's a model, you only need about 7 minutes to complete the assembly, and the process is not complicated.
The main body's silver finish is striking, but plated products are generally more prone to imperfections, which this figure likely cannot avoid. Articulation, for a transformable figure, is already pushed to its limits. The transformation process is simple, and you'll discover that a lot of thought and effort went into the small mechanisms to maximize the proportions and length of Scope Lightan's limbs. And the lighter mode... this time, it truly is a lighter, almost perfect!
Finally, and most astonishingly, this level of quality is available for just HKD 199. Look at my scoring for the price; it's basically an incredible bargain. Even if you didn't pre-order, the regular retail price is only $238! So, for fans of the Golden Warrior series or high-end toys, you wouldn't mind spending these 200 Hong Kong dollars, would you!
This feeling of being able to play with it anywhere, anytime, is something other toys can't offer!
