“Because there are many Mickey Mouse fans all over the world, I didn’t want to mess with his visual design.

Called the Chogokin Henshinkei Mickey Mouse by Kunio Okawara, the 12.5-centimeter (4.9-inch) tall figure is priced at 16,500 yen (US$110).

Yes, the same Chogokin line that uses metal plating and accent pieces to make robot figures extra-cool, because it turns out that Mickey Mouse is now a transforming mecha, designed by none other than Kunio Okawara, designer of the RX-78-2 Gundam, the hero mech from the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime!
