Another of my favorite

(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

item:
Mini Godaikin Collection, Daitetsujin 17; Bandai, ca. 1984 description: No Godaikin collection can be complete
without the 3" Mini's! Made in Taiwan for Bandai, they're essentially the 3"
Shogun collector series with more decals. Not as high quality as their
Japanese-made counterparts, but visually interesting regardless! Nice MOC piece
with some card wear and cracking to the blister.
size: toy 3.25" h, card 8" h, 5.5"
wide condition: MOC, C -8 card with
cracks to blister price: sold

item:
Shogun Warriors 3", Combatra; Mattel/Bandai, 1978 description: Here's a great 3" collector's series
Shogun Combatra (Combattler). The first version narrow box is worn and creased
but pretty much intact and actually quite displayable. Combattra is harder to
find (especially loose) due to the relative fragility of his antennae...don't
miss this fine example.
size: toy 3.5"

item:
Acrobot, Tomy, 1978 description:
The Tomy Corporation made many entertaining and inexpensive so-called
"white-knob wind-ups" during the 1970's and 1980's and the Acrobot is probably
the most entertaining of them all. Wind him up and watch him scoot along, flip
over, and keep right on going. This is a very nice MOC example with some aging
to the decals. Oh...and the wind-up knob is blue, not white!
size: toy 2.25" h, card 6" h, 4.25"
wide condition: MOC, C -8 card with
creases and price sticker scar price:
$20.00 |

item:
Super Go-Bots, Cy-Kill, Tonka/Bandai, 1985 description: Initially part of Popy's (later
Bandai's) successful Machine Robo line, the Go-Bots were a collaboration
between Tonka and Bandai and were obviously intended to capitalize on
Hasbro's/Takara's lucrative Transformers market. Although superior in design
and construction, they never achieved the same success, probably because of the
lack of accessories and, therefore, play value. This enemy robot Cy-Kill is
cool!
size: toy 6" h,
box 7" h, 4.5" w, 2.75" d condition:
MIB, C -8 box with light wear and minor bumps price: $45.00 |

Machine Robo, MR-29, Bandai, 1983 description: Popy (later Bandai) produced this
successful line in the early 1980's at the very beginning of the "transforming
robot" craze. The Machine Robo series is inventive in concept and extremely
well made, with a combination of plastic and metal construction that rivals
even the larger Godaikin series. Add this one to your collection
today.

MIB, C -9 box, stickers not applied price: $30.00 |
