BE@RBRICK Series 36 SF "Combattler V" (100%)

In 1976, director Tadao Nagahama revolutionized the super robot genre with a series that offered not only monster-of-the-week action but also complex human dramas: Chōdenji Robo Combattler V, the first installment of his legendary Robot Romance Trilogy. What made Combattler V a milestone was its groundbreaking combination mechanic—for the first time in anime history, five separate vehicles, each piloted by its own individual pilot, merged into a single, gigantic robot. This innovation set the standard for an entire subgenre and inspired classics like Voltron, which brought the combiner concept to Western pop culture.

This Bearbrick captures the iconic design of the super-electromagnetic robot in stunning detail. The signature color scheme of vibrant red, royal blue, brilliant white, and powerful yellow/orange makes Combattler V instantly recognizable—a perfect example of the "Primary Color Champion," where heroic coloring visually communicates hope and justice. The distinctive red head with the eponymous V symbol on its forehead, the blue and white torso construction with its precisely replicated mechanical details, the blue and red belt area, and the powerful red and blue legs—every element has been meticulously transferred to the 7 cm Bearbrick mold.

The science fiction category holds special significance in every Bearbrick series, bridging the gap between Japanese mecha culture and international designer toy collecting. Series 36 from 2018 presented a deliberate choice with Combattler V: while many science fiction Bearbricks focus on contemporary franchises, Medicom Toy honored one of the genre's foundational works. For Western collectors, the connection to Mattel's Shogun Warriors toy line is particularly interesting – Combattler V arrived in the US in the late 1970s as "Combattra" and became part of one of the most influential import toy lines, complete with a Marvel Comics companion series.

Over four decades after its initial broadcast, Combattler V remains a staple of Japanese pop culture, regularly featured in Super Robot Wars video games and celebrated in countless toy reissues. This Bearbrick is more than just another mecha figure in your collection—it represents the moment when robots learned to unite, when five pilots became a team, and when the super robot genre took perhaps its most significant evolutionary step. Whether you're familiar with the Robot Romance Trilogy or simply appreciate the powerful aesthetic of classic mecha designs, Combattler V brings 70s robot action to your shelf.
