The Galvion series, or Cho Kosoku Galvion (Super High Speed Galvion) as it was known in Japan, was a 22-episode television series that aired in 1984. The storyline revolved around a group of criminals who used robots to save innocents, thereby allowing their sentences to be reduced. A 23rd episode was planned, but due to low ratings, the series was canceled. The planned episode was added as a 35-second epilog explaining the outcome of the series.

The Metal Battler Laggdol was one of the model kits released by Arii around the time the series was airing. The parts are molded in yellow styrene that appears flash-free. Panel lines are fairly heavy, as expected from a mid-1980’s model kit. Two sprues of white polycaps are included, as is a sprue of rubberized hoses for the suit connections.

As with the Metal Battler Balgus kit, I was disappointed when I opened the box. I wasn’t expecting too much, seeing that it’s a 1:72 kit, but when I compared the box art to the photos of the completed kit, it’s a let-down. The box art shows a different chest section than the built kit. But this kit has much better proportions than the Balgus kit, in that it doesn’t resemble a dwarven linebacker.

A sheet of waterslide decals is included for all of the markings that are needed to build the kit.

The kit appears to be about 4 inches tall when completed.
