Kaiju driving cars, tanks, planes, etc. Let's see em! Here are two I've probably posted elsewhere, but I'll get it started:
^^^That's a beauty! Chimmy, I was hoping you'd start the thread in the Japan Toys section, so we could use it as a reference? Apparently, there are lots of color variations of monster/car, and it would be great to have a "database" of some sort. Since Chris did broach the subject of GID racers, does anyone know which monster/car variations are GID?
All I know of is the Matango racer. At first I thought black unnumbered car meant GID but then remembered some that came that way were NOT GID, i.e. Rotofugi had that black Booska/Kanegon set, then there is this diver below (as well as other pics online I found): I kind of want that purple gorosaurus with orange car... looks good!
Those are mind boggling! Thanks for starting this ChimmyChaz, and for finding all of those goodies Chris! I really LOVE that Diver! Odd how most of the cars do not show the steering wheel... I still wonder if some of the racer's came with the bottom part of the torso? Sort of like the Zag driving the tanks--the bottom part came separately.
Someone here had a pic thread of racing some racers outside a long long time ago. Be damned if I can find it though? I searched Toygraph and came up with endless posts on the Space Trooper thread. Was it one of pickleloaf's stories? PK? Damn my memory!
I think the photo you remember is from Chris at Grumble Toy. Found it! Race to the finish by Grumble Toy, on Flickr
^ ha ha ha ha, that last one is just perfect! and chris' photo is the reference for all racer photos to follow.
That's the pic I was thinking of. Could have swore there was a story to go with it but I'm probably confusing history.
Love, love, love this shot! So much fun. If I had an unlimited toy budget, and space, I would enjoy collecting these.
This is the only one I have... Now I want to trade my whole collection for everything pictured here. Especially that Gezora. Awesome. (Love the pics, Chris and Michael! What sb is all about. That and drama.)
I Know! I had that lil' Gezora Racer too, and now I'm feeling that selling regret Awesome thread though, Chimmy. Love the colors of your Hedorah Tank.
Reminding me this exists is just cruel... (Did you see the crazy price Mandarake is trying to sell one for? Phew!)
