I love Dokodemo Issho. But you knew that. Sony's mascot cat and his friends have become a pretty big hit in Japan, spawning all sorts of games and merchandise. But Arguably, the coolest of all the Dokodemo Issho branded stuff out there has to be the Revoltech figures by Kaiyodo.
If you missed the first installment of this feature, you can go back and check out Toro, Kuro and Jun right here. For this second half, I'd like to share with you Ricky, Suzuki and Pierre, and the joy of a completed collection. Hit the jump for some fun.

Now that Suzuki, Ricky and Pierre have been released in Revoltech form, I can give you a look at the entire cast of Dokodemo Issho characters. First up is R. Suzuki, the robot who shows up on Mainichi Issho's Toro Station News broadcasts whenever the day's topic relates to science or mechanics.

Fans of the series already know that Suzuki sports a different expression on each of the four sides of his head, which he can spin depending on his mood. This made Kaiyodo's job very easy, and negates any need to include extra faces with the figure. Not a bad thing, considering how huge he already is.

What they did include was Suzuki's drill hands.

For when he gets ANGRY.

Aside from the rare occasions on which Suzuki is piercing the heavens, his disposition is actually much calmer. He is, after all, a well-educated robot.

Not to mention an upstanding member of Tomopop's weekly book club.

Next up is the mighty Ricky.

Ricky is training to be the world's greatest martial artist. He drops by the Toro Station newscast when the day's story relates to sports, action films, or anything manly.

All that excercise makes his arms and legs bigger than those of the other characters in the series. Good on Kaiyodo for staying true to that in the figure.

Staying strong means getting plenty to eat.

Binchou-tan notes that such large portions might not be necessary.

But he's determined!

Ricky comes with three alternate faces and three alternate sets of eyes, which can all be mixed and matched however you like. They are also the most difficult faces to remove of any revoltech I own, so his expression doesn't change much. Sorry buddy.

And then there's Pierre.

Pierre is a romantic, and lover of all things French. He enjoys the finer things in life, and shows up to the Toro Station newscast whenever the daily feed relates to culture or the arts.

He is admittedly my least favorite character of the bunch, but once I had the Revoltech, my appreciation for him increased dramatically. He's a very nice figure, and the shape of his limbs really makes him unique. Maybe Pierre's not such a bad guy after all. His episodes of the newscast are still boring, though.

The Pierre Revoltech comes with all kinds of awesome stuff, and might be the biggest bang for your buck in terms of extra accessories. I'd equate him to the Ryoko Nendoroid in that respect. Less popular than the other characters? Redeem thyself with sweet bonus goodies.

He includes the telephone and flower you saw above, this glass of wine, and a 5-piece set of extras for Kuro. The Kuro stuff is what really made him a must-have.

Our man here has gone far too long now without his red bowtie, and the Pierre Revoltech is what finally delivers it. In addition to this long-overdue accessory, the package also includes the necktie headband seen in the game, Kuro's classic weapon of choice (a paper fan), and two alternate arms with holes in the ends that allow him to hold things. These match the additional arms for Toro that were packaged with the Jun Revoltech.

Now we can have a proper newscast. The Mainichi Issho box desks you see pictured are official papercraft, available for download right here if you'd like some cool accessories for your own Toro and Kuro.

Suzuki, Ricky and Pierre are still available wherever Revoltechs are sold if you're interested in some for yourself. And if you wanted to check out Mainichi Issho after I reviewed the first three characters but don't have a PS3, the game has since become available to download for the PSP as well. Still free, still awesome. (Note to self: PSP screens apparently do not like to have their picture taken.)

My fave has to be Rikki/Binchou tan oh so cute :D
Tomopop book club? Where do I sign up?? :DD
