How do they get so good at creating concepts in Japan? I've never really even seen the anime. But just the concept of Panda-Z makes me unable to resist buying stuff. Useless but wonderful stuff like miniature figures. Just show me a small panda that controls a giant ROBOT panda from a cockpit in the robots head - and I can't help myself apparently. I bought at least five in the series when I was in Tokyo.

And then I haven't even mentioned any of the pandas friends. There are lots of them. For instance, one that has a telephone receiver for ears. I feel a bit sorry for him.
