Japanese "Super-Robots", and Godzilla/Gamera/Monster related toys. Lots to see
here...better get started! Click on the images for enlarged /alternate

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!

5.5" d condition: C-9, box C-7+,

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!

of Bandai's die-cast/plastic "Godaikin" robots.

decals appear to be perfect. Boy oh boy...do you need this toy! Don't miss
him.

"Getter-Robo" produced from Popy molds for a new (USA) market. This 2nd Mattel

Voltron I robot, Matchbox/Bandai, 1984. description: A die-cast metal and plastic ST sized

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

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.

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 |
