「キン肉マン」新規造型で新超人もラインナップ

 

That Pigmon cupcake is so cute. I can just eat him up.

 

Yeah, thats the best one. I wonder what flavour the little chap is? I suppose strawberry?

 

It does say strawberry cream on the cup.

 

A few posts upstream ^^^^ there are these things that look like mecha egg robots playing with shipping containers and a blue jewel; w.i.t.h. are they? Kinda cool. And def some kinnukiman keshi that I hadn't seen before.

 

They're the robots from the anime Laputa. I think the cube things have some significance in the film too but I can't really remember.

yeah, as kappa said, they are little gachapon Laputa - Castle in the sky robots. The cube is a 'shining levitation stone'. There is one of those robots on the roof of the ghibli museum in mitaka . . .

 

Great to know, sort of fell behind on my Ghibli, haven't seen Laputa. Shall remedy soonest. Thank you!

 

I don't really state it a lot but I love this thread. I frequent it often. Thanks for the uploads.
