Transforming Blok Bots(tm): Jackal and Scorpion
Look! It's a giant Anubis-shaped robot! Never mind the scorpion, lookit the Anubis! It comes with a tiny little pilot in Egyptian head-scarf thing (I can't remember its name) and its very own pair of plastic khopesh!

cadhla's Hogswatch present except that I'd ordered her present earlier in the day from an online retailer. Now I gotta find someone to buy this for. But damn. One more reason to suck up to our neighbours to the north: they makes 'em some damn fine toys.
