Tokima Digirobo Aquaboy - MIB - £150

Here we have an obscure Aquaboy transforming watch made by Bandai in 1984. This was a spin-off from the main Digirobo line: featuring a waterproof design and cool new robot with scuba gear! Transforming watches are a niche within a niche but a staggering variety were produced within a relatively short period of time: Takara has the most models but Bandai outclassed them with build quality, and designs that were as much watches as they were robots. There are at least two other colour variation of this toy I know of (white and red), and all are challenging to acquire in any condition.
