Japanese streetwear brand Peace and After, which has previously collaborated with popular works such as "Dragon Ball" and "Chainsaw Man," will now partner with Japanese sci-fi military maestro Kow Yokoyama to release three themed soft vinyl toys commemorating the fourth anniversary of the popular gag anime "Me & Roboco"! In this article, we will first introduce the "S.A.F.S. (Roboco Ver.)", a classic mecha designed by Kow Yokoyama, reimagined!
Hailing from Japan, the brand Peace and After centers around street culture, having launched numerous items featuring Japanese and American pop culture themes. On social media, one can see many celebrities such as Tony Leung, Takayuki Yamada, and Jeremy Lin wearing the brand's products, and it has even released a collaboration series with Japanese design master Yohji Yamamoto! This time, Peace and After is collaborating with Japanese sci-fi military maestro Kow Yokoyama to design and supervise a series of "Me & Roboco" themed works!
The "Super Armored Fighting Suit" (S.A.F.S.) originates from Kow Yokoyama's original SF series "Maschinen Krieger" (Ma.K for short), where it serves as a powered suit used by the "Earth Independent Government Mercenary Army." This collaborative "S.A.F.S. (Roboco Ver.)" stands approximately 16.5 cm tall, based on the fundamental S.A.F.S. It features newly added rocket boosters in the shape of Roboco's twin pigtails for the powered suit, and its paint scheme faithfully recreates the maid outfit colors. Is it just an illusion, or do the knee parts of this S.A.F.S. also appear particularly prominent (?), creating a seemingly absurd vibe that surprisingly aligns perfectly with the tone of "Me & Roboco"! Furthermore, this dream collaboration also includes two other products – "Roboco and Crab Man" – which can be displayed alongside the S.A.F.S. (Roboco Ver.)!

Such a bold collaboration, coupled with Roboco's adorable design, this product is truly irresistible!
The main body has little to no articulation, with only the shoulders offering slight movement, and that's it. As a display and collectible item, this is perfectly to my liking! Personally, I genuinely love this product. However, to be honest, I haven't seen any trace of it in Hong Kong. Are there really no SF3D or Roboco fans in Hong Kong?
As D.M.S., the most fervent devotee, how could I not acquire it?
