Aron, Lairon, and Aggron Collection [Side Collection] Aggron is a dinosaur-like Pokémon with an armored body made of rock and steel. Although its typing makes it very weak to certain attacks, it has very high physical defense. With the Heavy Metal ability, Aggron is one of the heaviest Pokémon in existence at nearly 1,600 lbs or 720 kg! As a lover of dinosaurs and paleontology, I love the look and color scheme of the Aron line, and I also love how they look like they are wearing skulls made of steel! Strangely enough, Aggron's design was possibly inspired by a North Korean kaiju: the "Pulgasari" or "Bulgasari", a bipedal, Godzilla-like movie monster that eats metal. The film was created in North Korea in 1985, and later released in Japan in 1998. My favorite figure is the Aron TFG because it shows him eating a steel beam, which is so cute! I am also very proud to own an Aggron settei/production art. Being somewhat less popular for some reason, collecting Aggron is on the easier side as there isn't much competition. The zukan and Lairon TFG, however, are quite expensive ($100+) due to their scarcity. Wanted: Aron metal figure, Lairon TFG |
