Car/Character: Robocar Poli

I got this one from a friend who recently went overseas. I was actually not aware of the show before she got me this piece. Doing some research, it appears that this character is actually the main character in a show called "Robocar Poli" which was shown in South Korea. The story I believe revolves around a rescue team from a small town who rescues various characters who end up in some unfortunate situations. I've watched a few episodes and it seems that at the end, they always try to impart some kind of lesson about the dangerous situations that they faced. Since this show is aimed at children, I think it's really nice that they give out these lessons. Most children's shows I've seen these days no longer have this sort of educational touch to them.

Regarding the actual piece, it can both be in robot form and in car form. Surprisingly, the car actually fits really well in a Jammers case. I'm still trying to figure out what real car Robocar Poli is based on but it is highly likely that he is just completely made up.
