The Super Robot Red Baron - The Complete Seriesx
 (9 reviews)
Best Price: $59.98
An exhibition opens in Japan celebrating the robotic achievements of the world. Massive Robots from around the world are showcased and displayed for all to see. Suddenly and without a warning, a mysterious army appears and steals all the robots. This army is under the command of President Devilar and mysterious despot who leads an evil faction called the Tetsumen Tou (Steel Mask Party). Their mission is the total conquest of earth through use of robots. President Devilar has also kidnapped various scientists to assist him in the modifications of these robots. One of those scientists being targeted is the brilliant Kurenai Kenichiro. Kenichiro has been working on a secret project to build the most power robot the world has ever seen, named Red Baron. He entrusts this secret to only one person, his younger brother Ken, who just so happens to be a member of the elite special forces unit known as SSI (Super Science Institute). Kenichiro is kidnapped by Tetsumen Tou and has a bomb implanted into his chest. They force him into revealing the location of Red Baron. Before Tetsumen Tou is able to steal Red Baron, Ken activates the robot and uses it to battle the Tetsumen Tou agents and their monster mecha Troy Horse.

More 70's tokusatsu fun
By A2XUUSXE8QEL96 on 2007-12-12
Another 1970's live action treasure of a show, this is the second release from BCI the third being the forthcoming Silver Mask. If you grew up on Ultraman or Johnny Sokko you should enjoy this outing-better yet show it to your kids and share the love with the next generation. Suitable for all ages
Featuring Snoopy, But No Pizza
By AOODNGLAEDN76 on 2008-05-06
Fans of ULTRAMAN and similar Japanese TV series could scarcely go wrong by picking this up. RED BARON is a well-made and quite action-packed series that plays like a melding of ULTRAMAN and ASTRO BOY. As a series, it kicks the tar out of BCI's previous IRON KING set (not that IK was terrible) and is very well thought of in Japan. Buy THE SUPER ROBOT RED BARON and see why. There is even a cameo appearance by none other than Snoopy! BCI/Eclipse is doing a great service to tokusatsu fans by making shows such as RED BARON available in the US. I'll certainly be getting their next set, SILVER MASK, but would like to see more ULTRAMAN series...let's hope. Before I forget: as usual for BCI, the video quality here is excellent.
giant roboty goodness 
By A14UELVBC5S525 on 2008-10-31
Super Robot Red Baron.
This is some classic giant sized action here. The Series follows the hero Ken and the members of SSI (streriotypical superhero investigation team) as they fight mad scientists, alien invaders, evil computers, and, of course, an army of Super Robots.
Fans of Big O might notice some fishy similarities in the way the Red Baron fires his beam weapon to the way Big-O fired his Chrome Buster.
A must have for Toku-hero fans.
A Super Robot Indeed
By A9FX6WL7F5PCB on 2010-09-01
I got this earlier in this year, and from the first episode I was taken by surprise at the the quality of the series. I really, really like this and I don't regret getting it. It is superior to the Johnny Sokko and His Giant Robot series. I am amused and very entertained as a tokusatsu fan. You won't regret this purchase.
Baron Punch!
By A2XCAQ6BMPLMN6 on 2010-06-04
I missed this one the first time around, and am discovering it now on DVD. Great fun, solid adventure for Japanese Giant Robot adventure fans. My only complaint is that there is no dubbing and the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Fun fun fun
