My childhood pal. I can't believe he still has all his missiles (even the extra one!) after everywhere he's gone with me. From what i understand, these were never actually sold in Japan, it was import only, and a small ammount made it to Hawaii and the states. He looks like a happy dog.
Super-cool! Love those missle-firing toys. I like how he towers over the Charactics plane. Nice to see someone enjoying that plane, too. I actually like the Mechagodzilla more than the Zagoran (gasp! heresy!)
that is one awsome missle fire! someday i will have one if im patient . till then i will just drool over your pictures paul . you sure were nice to your toys as a kid paul . me , i would have shot it with a pellet gun and lit it on fire a few times . im a little more respectfull of my toys now .
That is amazing I cannot believe you never lost a missile. I would have lost half of them an hour into owning that toy. I have the 9" missile fire version, but not this rad 12" version. I will cry myself to sleep tonight.
How did you never lose a missile? Man it seemed like I'd lose all the missiles within a day. Every damn missile from every new toy. Gone. Great piece though. I wish I still had all my childhood toys (too many cousins).
That's a seriously beautiful piece - congrats on saving it from your childhood because to get one now with all the missiles would be $$$$$$$$$.
That's an amazing piece Paul. All the more special that it's actually a piece of your childhood. That's the coolest! I would have definately lost all the missles or at least gotten one stuck in my nose.
Wicked piece of vinyl, I love it's retro feel, it seems to so easily blend robot with kaiju, Fantastic.
Thanks folks! And he's been across the US and back! I think he's got a bit of mattel "slime" residue on his head.
mattel slime got me in lots of trouble. as did the "zap it" invisible ink watergun. some toys are built for the torture of big sisters. and some, i believe, are designed to be real fun to blow up.
