Inside the C.O.D.E: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Figures

For the fan of the series Tengen Toppa Gurren Langann, here the new Action Figures.
The first model is Gurren, the robot of Kamina.
Gurren is initially an above-average sized Beastman-piloted mecha, which attacked Ritona Village the morning after the Gurren Brigade's arrival. The Gurren is captured, then named by its eventual pilot, Kamina. Differing in appearance from its Beastman-piloted form, due to Kamina nearly destroying the limbs in battle, it was repaired using spare parts from the other defeated Gunmen. Unlike its partner Gunmen, the Lagann, the Gurren is of typical Gunmen proportions and serves as the primary attacker when the pair is not united. While its individual power was initially not on the same level as advanced gunmen/pilot pairs, such as Viral and his Enki, Kamina eventually became experienced enough to hold his own against multiple gunmen. Kamina had the Gurren's original swords made into massive sunglasses that were not unlike his own personal pair, which could be used as a blade or boomerang in combat.

This model is expected to release on November 30, 2007

Now is time of the greatest enemy for Gurren Langann, its name is Enki.
Enki is Viral's personal gunmen, modeled after a armored samurai. The Enki is the product of significant innovation in gunmen technology, and sports a number of advances that eclipse lesser models in performance, and is the first model seen to support ammunition. Unlike stout gunmen, such as the Gurren, that have bulky limbs that can only be used in wide swings, the Enki is more segmented and has multiple joints that allow it to perform complex actions, such as throws, kicks, and various martial arts techniques. The Enki's arm and thigh plates conceal rows of hidden gun turrets that fire large steel projectiles (kunai). There are pop-up compartments in the shoulders that can fire a single volley of rockets, and the entire chest plate can open to reveal a number of launchers that deliver an explosive payload of missiles. The Enki possesses a wrist mounted concave blast-shield, and a helmet with a large black ring atop of it, that is actually the charging focus for a medium-range particle beam cannon. Its helmet becomes the possession of Simon and Kamina, as they stole it when they first combined to make the Gurren-Lagann.

Later, the helmet-less Enki has been redeployed as the "Enkidu" and sports a new sickle-like weapon, which is affixed to its head (a homage to Ultraseven's Eye Slugger weapon). When wielded, it provides an alternative to the dual swords the Enki usually resorts to in melee combat. Furthermore, it is also capable of shelling from afar by physically launching munitions from the same point on its head, once the sickle has been removed. When it is aided Cytomander's air raid on the Dai-Gurren, it was also equipped with jets, allowing it to fly.

The third form of Viral's gunmen is called the "Enkidudu". This form has replaced the sickle for an extra pair of arms, meaning the gunmen can now fight with four blades. When the new form fights the Gurren-Lagann, however, it is swiftly defeated, despite its upgrade.

After the timeskip, the Enkidudu is shown fighting the Gulaparl unit, in order to protect a group of humans who decided to continue living underground. However, the damaged Enkidudu is unable to hold its own against the advanced Gulaparls and is ultimately destroyed.

All forms are based on figures in Sumerian myth: Enki was a god of wisdom. Enkidu, meanwhile, was the wild man who fought and befriended King Gilgamesh during the Sumerian epic. The latter seems to bear significance to Viral's role in later episodes.
It is possible that the mecha's name is a reference to french comic author Enki Bilal as Viral can also be read "Bilal" in

Japanese.This is further evidenced by the name of Viral's theme "Nikopol" which is the name of one of Enki Bilal's most famous work, the Nikopol Trilogy. It is also a possible literary reference to Gilgamesh's rival, Enkidu.
