Other than those missiles, and the fact that the pilots has to shut down the robot at the end of almost every episode so that it didn't get hit by the Omega Missile, I remember very little of the actual show. After this show came on T.V. in the Philippines, I stopped drawing Voltes V and Mazinga Z in chalk on the road, and started drawing Mekanda as often as I could. I especially liked doing the boots...something about that tiered front, behind which lurked the shark missiles, I found very compelling. Also, love the spiked shields. Just a fantastic design.
The poster is a little more beat up than the others, and I'm not a huge fan of this particular rendition of Mekanda...but it does show off the full design of the robot really well. Sold for $100.
