Jinzou Ningen Kikaider - Black Echidna (Parent) - Toei Retro Sofubi Collection (Medicom Toy)Black Echidna (Parent) · Medicom Toy

Medicom Toy presents Black Echidna (Parent) from Jinzou Ningen Kikaider as part of the Toei Retro Sofubi Collection. This figure celebrates a classic tokusatsu villain from the early 1970s era of Japanese live-action superhero television. Jinzou Ningen Kikaider (Android Kikaider) is a 1972 tokusatsu series created by Shotaro Ishinomori about an android named Jiro who struggles with the conflict between his conscience circuit (giving him a sense of justice) and his incomplete programming. The series featured memorable villain designs, with Black Echidna being one of the destructive robots that Kikaider faced. The show is notable for its darker, more philosophical tone compared to other tokusatsu of the era, exploring themes of free will and morality. Standing approximately 240mm tall, this sofubi figure captures the retro aesthetic of the original Toei production. The Toei Retro Sofubi Collection preserves the classic designs of these vintage characters in a format beloved by tokusatsu enthusiasts.
