This figure depicts Green Mantis from Jinzou Ningen Kikaider as part of Medicom Toy's Toei Retro Sofubi Collection. Standing approximately 240mm tall, this prepainted sofubi figure was released in July 2012. Jinzou Ningen Kikaider (Android Kikaider) is a classic 1972 tokusatsu series created by Shotaro Ishinomori. The story follows Jiro, an android equipped with an incomplete conscience circuit, as he battles the evil organization DARK and its robot monsters. Green Mantis is one of the villainous robot creatures that Kikaider faces throughout the series. The show is notable for its darker tone compared to other tokusatsu of the era, exploring themes of morality and what it means to be human. Medicom Toy's Toei Retro Sofubi Collection celebrates classic Toei tokusatsu productions with soft vinyl figures rendered in a vintage style reminiscent of the era's toy aesthetics. The Green Mantis figure stands at 240mm and captures the monster's distinctive insectoid design in the retro sofubi format.
