Oh Ag, there's no real discussion going on here.Agamemnon wrote:I am an aficionado of 1980s cartoons, and especially love the robot toons. I don't remember Dugram and cannot find any pics. Is there another name? (I don't mean to side track the discussion...)
First off, it would help if I had spelled it right. It's DOUGRAM, not Dugram.

I'm not familiar with the anime at all. My brother and I just had a few toys from the series when we were kids. There is another robot who I think is from the series called Soltic who is also super cool.
Dougram
Soltic
One of the toys we had.
We had this and a Soltic of the same type. These toys were B.A.! The inner skeleton was all die cast with awesome articulation and working hydraulics and cabling and stuff. Then you could put all the plastic armor and body panels on the inner skeletal bot. They were the DOPE! Not sure where they are now. I'd guess my brother has then in his collection. I dug a cool little diecast one out of Mom's attic a few weeks back. Same series as that Soltic Pic above.
His name is Big Foot. And SNAP Google! You are magic.
Here's the box he was in.
Here's the toy.
I would have gladly taken my own pic, but he's chilling on my desk at work at the moment.
Edit: Take a closer look at the Dougram toy box ( 1st one I posted). In the lower right corner you'll see a familiar and favorite name to us all. Also the main licenser of the Dougram toys.
No wonder the toys were so dang cool.
