tiger-7 question

or just noticing i guess- but whats up with all the paint variations?




i just got an orange face red boots

but ive seen a primarily yellow face with blue boots etc

is it just an old age thing with paint wearing off the boots?

 

or how about yellow face with red boots? then we can talk about belts, as well...

 

from "my toy museum" on flickr

 

Ive got one that's different again

 

There's definitely a few paint variations. Paging JJH!

 

There's multiple variations.

Orange head, yellow head, painted and non painted belts and lips etc.

The s7 magazine had a few in there.

I don't think the paint applications were intentionally made to be different.

However, I think many people chase the different random variations of paint apps.

 

I notice in this picture brian posted awhile ago there is a clear painted head Tiger Seven also (well it looks that way it's hard to tell). Anyone have info on that one?:

 

I think its the Masudaya light up figure. You can see it in this old S7 issue

Thats the one! I really need to get some of those old super 7 issues. I only have the one with darth vader on the cover and the gatchaman issue.

 

Heres a scan of Brians article from issue 1 on them. This explains what the idea behind them was.

Thank for posting that article Jonathan. I looked for some back issues but this is one I could not find, so it's nice to see (and read) the article and of course the great pic helps too!

 

Didn't see a dedicated Tiger Seven thread here in vintage:

 

Remember guys, these were made at a time when they for kids and it was basically what color vinyl do we have today and what color paint should we spray them! Which equals awesome!!!!!!
