It's not our first tokusatsu mecha, but it might be our most charming. King Joe (great name, by the way) is coming at us straight from Ultraman, a combining robot that proved an instant hit. I love the way having to have a real dude in a suit affects the design of toku robots. Personality is an inevitable consequence.
