Rubyman - Ganseki Chōjin - 'A shining stone and a red hot blooded fighter'
Flamestone was added to the Rock Lords toy line as part of the Jewel Lords assortment.
It was packaged with what appears to be a fork-like weapon, however the Japanese instructions show the forked end is in fact where it's held.
Gobots Packaging 'Good: Jewel Warrior' - Jewel Lords did not have a bio card.
Japanese Packaging Practical Translation 'A honest, innocent personality. He is a hot blooded man full of fighting spirit, however overconfidence can lead to unexpected failures. His red glowing appearance is very beautiful/stunning.'
Robo Machine Packaging All three Jewel Lords boxes are printed with a different, shared background blurb to all other Series 1, 2 and 3 figures. 'Solitaire is Queen of the Kingdom of Jewels. She and her cohorts - Sunstone and Flamestone are brave, super intelligent and loyal allies to Boulder and the rest of the Good Rock Lords in the continuing battle with the Evil Rock Lords.'
Solitaire was not released in Australia for Bandai's Machine Men toy line.
