Haven't posted for a bit.. Is anyone even interested in this shit? I know these REALLY suck, but that's why I love them! Gundam, Xabungle, Srungle, Dougram, Mugen Caliber, Sasuraiger... The list goes on. Am I the only one that cares about the bastard mech sofubi? Hmm? Who's got some? Clover Dunbine: Takatoku Macross: Sjoen
Don't be a xa-bung-hole! The worst stuff in the japanese universe. There is a Japanese name for poo = baxinger
You jerk, now I have the Sasuraiger theme running through my head and it won't stop. Can you show us the front and back of the Drumlo?
Rog. That sausageraider song is the pits. So, you want to see more drumlo? He's got the best package out of all of them no? We'll see when I get home you perv.
Ahh, so you got that Dunbine. Congrats. The others look great, too. Is the top of the antenna intact?
I used to have what I believe was a bootleg of the purple Dunbine, I never knew what it was until now. His antenna was also broke/manufacturing error. I got rid of him consequently. He came carded like an action figure. This was all before I collected sofubi.
Was the name "Astro Fighter" or something to that effect? I've seen those. I was told that a lot of those Dunbines were sold at Spencer Gifts in the 80s.
I don't think it had any English on the packaging. The back of the card was just unfinished brown cardboard.
Here's the English language version of the toy, next to the larger Clover diecast one. The toy is marked as having been made in Japan. There's also a Japanese version by Clover. Erik knows more about these than do I.
Ah, that's it, the "Space Warrior." I'm pretty sure Clover's factory was just cranking these out and running them out the back door. We have a Datafile on Dunbine here: http://toyboxdx.com/datafiles/data/dunbine/
That stuff is cool. Probably because I've been reading old throwaway comics from the eighties and early nineties lately. I remember wanting all that stuff in diecast and didn't even know there were sofubi versions. What a nice revelation!
