This is why the robot collection has rules.

I have been a fan of Voltes V for 50 years. And this here is exactly why I have rules for my collecting of toy robots. This violates 2 of my rules. The first rule it violates is that none of my robots may cost more than US$100. So far I’ve done well with this….

VHS stands for “Video Home System”—shoutout to Zappa, #HHGTG, Star Wars Holiday Special, animation and “Voltus[sic] 5” #VoltesV plus the movie I appear in, Up From The Depths.

I felt moved to add an image to the #JTLArtChallenge — art against the Duterte #JunkTerrorBill which can mark critics of the Philippine government as “terrorists.” I am not Filipino but have great love of both freedom and Filipino culture, especially #VoltesV who would definitely be against this bill!

New Bot Day! Voltes V! A new, taller vinyl edition! Voltes Five inspired my collection. The tv series ran 1977-1979. My family lived in the Philippines at that same time. Even under Marcos’ repressive regime, Japanese pop culture, especially robots, filtered to Metro Manila. The robots inspired me! I went to school at a massive Catholic school called La Salle Green Hills. Mostly Filipino but a few expat kids too. Many could draw so well. My classmates were my age: 7, 8, 9– but they could do shading and perspective! I learned a lot. 40 years later I’m still inspired by Voltes 5. Stay inspired. Stay safe! #voltesv
