Trivia: Daltanious was the first combining super robot to have an animal component, as well as the first to have a lion's head on its chest - the lion's head would be incorporated into several Brave Series robots, most notably GaoGaiGar (1999)

Quick Shot
Another Book Off find. It's not often you find Daltanious merchandise at the thrift store - even a thrift store that focuses on anime and toys like Book Off.
Daltanious was a late 70s to early 80s Super Robot anime that featured a combining robot with a lion theme. And it was originally supposed to be brought to the US as Voltron, but the studio accidentally licensed the wrong lion robot - and we got Golion instead. Or so the story goes.
It's a great design, with early indications of the 80s boxy mecha aesthetic.
I actually had no idea Bandai did an HG line for super robots - let alone multiple series of them.
The sculpt is very soft, especially for the HG Kamen Rider and Ultraman lines of the same era. And the paint is a little lackluster.
But it's still a very fun minifigure, and a truly unexpected surprise find.

Show this one a little love if you're an old school robot head like me. This post flopped hard on Instagram lol.
i saw your post on Daltanious so I'd like to ask something. Is Daltanious really considered number 4 of the RRR? I mean sure Nagahama made it but he left it to work on The rose of Versailles so someone else directed it. The anime's vibe is...nothing like Voltes or Daimos, it feels like it's aimed at kids. The main villain isn't sympathetic like Heinel, Richter or Garuda, he's just a jerk. Yeah he has a tragic backstory but he still feels like he's too cruel to feel sad for. Kento as a main character is very rude and obnoxious and nothing like most Nagahama protags. The TV Tropes page even says he's "Kenichi if his IQ dropped". I don't mean any disrespect! I'm just questioning why it's called that because it's nothing like most of those anime. Also, you're a fellow Lotura shipper, nice
Hi Anon, thank you for the Ask!
Those are great points, and to be honest, I'm not sure why I've seen Daltanious described as the unofficial 4th "Robot Romance", but I suspect it has to do with Nagahama fans not wanting anything with a mecha in it that he touched to be forgotten.
I've seen Daltanious mentioned in that way a few times, in at least one art book, and on several fan sites (Japanese).
The art book/guide that I have handy is the one pictured below, where you can see Daltanious on the cover behind Combattler V, Daimos, and Voltes. It's in the title as well at the top, and in English at the bottom.
It's definitely very weird, and maybe one day I'll dig around to find a better answer!
