Robot Damashii Doraemon 2112 Version

Doraemon was meant to be yellow in color until the tragic incident with a robot mouse which gnawed off it's ears. Doraemon proceed to cheer himself up by drinking accidentally drank a "sadness" potion which caused it to wept, the yellow color washed off and his voice changed due to the potion. As a result, he developed a morbid fear of mice despite being a robotic cat, because he was suffering musophobia.Bandai took this opportunity to milk the fans off their hard earned money by releasing a limited edition 2112 version for the 100 years countdown event.

Out-of-box content. The mouse is no where to be seen and this figure came with eye plates in different expression compare to the normal release.

Wah!!! A mouse!!! Wow! I have never seen a life specimen before!
This limited edition Doraemon was similar with the normal release version with a slight difference in the form of different expression for the eye plates and also the exclusion of the mouse. The gold plating was impressive but not close to flawless. There were some finishing imperfection all over the figure. The joints on both arms were stiff/stuck which was most likely caused by the plating. That aside, this was overall a great figure and it deserved a place in your collection much like how Doraemon deserved a special place in our heart.

Robot Damashii Doraemon

Known as the robot cat from the future. Doraemon was sent back in time by a young boy named Sewashi Nobi to change the circumstances of his great grandfather, Nobita Nobi so that his descendants (Sewashi is one of them) may enjoy a better future.

Out-of-box content. The accessories come in the form of eye plates, facial expression and some futuristic gadget.

Doraemon with it's ears. This is not canon since Doraemon cannot be blue and still retains it's ears.

This is the usual depiction of Doraemon. I would say this is the best figure of Doraemon to date.

Back view of Doraemon. That is a round head alright.

A lot of engineering work has been poured into designing this figure. The joints at the arm spot one of the most complicated joint design which I find difficult to describe.

Doraemon comes with 2 separate facial plate which can be swapped onto the figure for different facial expression.

Doraemon is happy.

Doraemon is mad.

The eye plates can be mixed and match to create some unique expression. Nothing lightens up Doraemon's like a dorayaki.

Another widely used gadget. The small/big light.

Last but not least, the take-copter which enable the user to fly.

This is how Doraemon will react everytime it sees a mouse.

Why oh why!!!My beloved Dorayaki!

I almost forgot about the air cannon. Die you fiend!!!
It is difficult for me to admit that I was and still is a Doraemon fan deep down inside. This is the figure to get if you are looking for a Doraemon figure which is pose able with some degree of articulation. In fact, I have to admit that I have a lot of fun posing it while taking photos of it. Grab this figure before it returns to our future!
