Japanese toys & related items
Another of my favorite categories and one that I have collected from for years. This category includes (but is not limited to) Japanese die-cast robots/vehicles, Japanese vinyls, Japanese "Super-Robots", and Godzilla/Gamera/Monster related toys. Lots to see here...better get started! Click on the images for enlarged /alternate views.
     
click to enlarge   item: Combattler V Head Ship; Robin, 1970's.
description: Here is a cool Combattler V (Combattra to us Gaijin) toy...the head ship, pilot and all! This neat piece has extendable antennae and makes a "clack-clack" sound as you roll it across a hard surface. A visually interesting item from a minor Japanese toy manufacturer...probably pretty scarce and very cool graphics on the box! Has a slit in box cello!


size: toy 3" h, 6.25" w, 6" d; box 6.5" h, 6.5" w, 5.5" d
condition: C-9, box C-7+, unused toy but light wear from box
price:sold
click to enlarge   item: Ultraman Ace Pachinko, Bandai,1970's.
description: A VERY cool Ultraman toy, rarely seen in the USA. This OLD Bandai product (note the early logo) has a plastic case and cover, but a lithographed tin back plate with a wonderful scene of our hero kicking the crap out of Belokuron, the first adversary in the Ultraman Ace series! Obviously a Japanese market product...no English appears on the box. Will take pride of place in any Ultra-collection. Don't dare miss it!


size: toy 13.25" h, 8.75" w, 2" d, box 13.75" h, 9" w, 2.25" d

click to enlarge   item: Daidenjin vinyl figure; Popy, 1983.
description: ST sized vinyl figure of the "Sentai" show character. Vinyls are becoming increasingly valuable and much harder to find in the USA. The Daidenjin character was widely available in the USA as one of Bandai's die-cast/plastic "Godaikin" robots.


size: 5.25" h, 2.25" w
condition: MIB, header card C-7 +
price: $35.00
click to enlarge   item: Tetsujin 28 vinyl figure; Popy,1970's.
description: T-28 fans rejoice! Here's a wonderful, ST sized vinyl in metallic blue! Much harder to find than the standard blue versions. Waist band decal is slightly curled, but both arm decals appear to be perfect. Boy oh boy...do you need this toy! Don't miss him.


size: overall 6.75" h, 3" w; figure 4.75" h, 2.5" w
condition: MIB, some wear to bag and header
price: $60.00
click to enlarge   item: Shogun Warriors Dragun; Mattel/Bandai, 1977.
description: 5" die-cast metal and plastic "Getter-Robo" produced from Popy molds for a new (USA) market. This 2nd Mattel version is MIB in a NM box, never opened (only one small corner crease and some wear from case). A near perfect, case fresh example.


size: 5" h (figure),
condition: MIB, C-9+ box
price: sold
click to enlarge   item: Voltron I robot, Matchbox/Bandai, 1984.
description: A die-cast metal and plastic ST sized robot, also known as "Dairugger" in Japan. Yet another re-use of old Popy molds, this toy renamed as part of the popular "Voltron" craze of the 1980's.


size: 5.75" h, 3.25" w
condition: MIB, C-8 box
price: sold
click to enlarge   item: Godzilla; Bullmark, 1970's.
description: A die-cast metal, plastic, and rubber ST size robot in the more common metallic green variant (the scarce variant is brown). The figure is beautiful and all parts (including catalog showing King Ghidorah and others) are present. His arms are not tight, but this is a common problem even in MIB examples.


size: 4.5" h, 4.5" l
condition: C-9, C-8 box
price: sold
click to enlarge   item: Bubble Blowing Godzilla; Imperial (Taiwan), 1985.
description: What Goji collection would be complete without this ridiculous but totally fun item. Fill his fluid reservoir, blow through the tail, and the interior mechanism shoots a continuous stream of bubbles out of his mouth. A very displayable box, complete with cardboard insert and a full container of bubble solution. The best Goji toy made by Imperial, in my opinion.


size: toy 9" h, 4.25" w, 6" d; box 9.75" h, 6.5" w, 4.5" d
condition: NMIB, box C-8+ with minor creasing
price: sold
click to enlarge   item: Machine Zaboga with Yutaka rider; Bullmark, 1970's.
description: A great example of Bullmark's Machine Zaboga (Denjin Zaboga in motorcycle form) with Yutaka astride. Minty fresh and ready for your collection. Denjin-Zaboga Go!

condition: MIB, C-8 bag, C-9 unpunched header
price: $65.00
click to enlarge   item: Barugon motorized model kit; Nitto, Japan, 1970's.
description: From the "Walking Monster Serise" comes this Gamera adversary, Barugon. Clever design with an all metal, wind-up motor and corresponding key...also includes a metal counterweight to assist Barugon in his perambulation. Box is worn and creased but has NO tears and should display pretty well. The Nitto model kits are not very common in the USA...get this example while you can.


size: box 1.75" h, 10.5" w, 6.25 d
condition: NMIB, C-7 box
price: $95.00
