I'm a big fan of the 1/55. Sure it's not as accurate as the 1/48, but as just a straight toy it's really nice. Shiny ABS plastic, polished diecast for the non pained metal parts, and if you got a reissue, tampo printed up the wazoo. As a toy, I'd have to say it stands up well next to most other non-colector targeted robot toys, and is just alot of fun as a piece of hand candy.
