Popbot Kozo TK Undernaut (Origin Hunter)

Kozo is a Tomorrow King that was exclusively sold at Good Smile Online, made possible by the collaboration of ThreeA and Good Smile Company. Here is a short description of Kozo from the Good Smile online store:

Mystery TK emerges from the Underverse

Fighting Mortis bots to protect humanity, Tomorrow Kings are rumored to be genetically engineered clones created from generals and military commanders that once existed in Japanese history, but their true origin is unknown. Kozo himself is said to be named after a naval general. Rumor has it that some TKs are able to side step time utilizing the Underverse, and could it be that Kozo has such ability as well? And what could be the purpose of his diver-like gears?

Kozo’s packaging is the common shoebox-style usually used by ThreeA with their 1/6 scaled figure.

The figure is very well done, this might be the result of having been checked (Quality Assured) by both ThreeA and GoodSmile.

Kozo's head sculpt is very cool, his gas mask (removable) that is connected to an awesome looking storage tank is very well done. The detail is superb and the weathering is really good.

Articulation is the usual for a 1/6 scale figure (Hot Toys/ThreeA), the joints are not too tight and not loose either. The accessories are plenty, but will be much better if they add another katana/swords and couple of alternative hands.

Cons:

• None showed up.

Pros:

• Details and weathering is obviously great.
• Awesome-looking accessories specially the gas mask and the diver storage tank!
• New head sculpt really compliments the gears and attire.
• No known issues that are being experienced by recently released ThreeA Figures.

Value:

• 15,000 yen / $130 Fair

Overall:

• “Kozo is arguably one of the best TK that is recently released. He has everything that a long-time TK collector want, simple yet awesome. He is also a very great figure to start a TK collection if you are planning to. If you Pre-Ordered it, lucky you, but if not good luck getting him in a reasonable price. He is also considered the very first TK that is release outside ThreeA’s online store to a Japanese Toy Company so this may add to it’s already prestige image."
