Thanks to two different SB members, these two guys arrived today. Thanks! Now I just need to track down the Magenta Massacre.
That's "Chicken Fever," one of the original fight figures. Made by Sinbad Toys. The edition in the picture is one of a pair released in collaboration with Super7, black and orange being the original S7-associated colors. The S7 pair remain the easiest of the Chicken Fevers to find on the aftermarket.
This HP pollard arrived from Flopdoodle today. That's not a purple shadow on the crease of his lips, that's some of TB's subtle paintjob.
Biff the head on that pollard is really awesome. Here is what I got from flopdoodle today. My pockets seem to have a hole in them. Really wish the metallic spots showed up better on this pic. Blue, purple, and copper. Wow!
Yeah, it's hard to capture the subtle paintwork w/ a camera. I almost did not get mine, but I 'mentally interpolated' the photo posted on Flopdoodle. Glad I did cuz i was right!
Some goodies arrived in the mail recently (unfortunately they forgot to ship one item!) Yonezawa windup toy! Spiffy vintage box is still intact The paint on the toy looks as if painted yesterday. The blue paint has an amazing blue metallic sheen (couldn’t capture it in the pic). I didn’t think vintage toys had metallic paint? Still “breathes” fire too (those are Hubby’s pudgy fingers ) and, this blue friction toy on wheelies The mini “pup” is so cute! I can’t tell who the maker is. It was listed as “Hakka Oyako”. Does anyone know if it is a Yonezawa as well? I didn’t see the “Y-leaf” logo.
Yes! I was just as surprised Daniel! He looks like he's never been played with--his key is still shiny! The Blue guy has lost his sparkies . Still a lovely figure in blue and plum Do you by chance happen to know when these were made? They are very striking.
I've seen an old toy ad with the sparking Gomera- web page said the ad date was April 1971. It was sold alongside the other Yonezawa vinyls ("Rokuron," Saidon, Gamegon, Dabura).
Those are definitely way cool. And have to agree w/ you on the paint. I'm tempted to pick up some to add to my other Yonezawas.
Ohhh! You've got the green one! Is the character a wombat then? That would make sense, since they are marsupials? Can anyone identify the manufacturer? Thanks for posting the box Dean, and congrats on your adoption
Great stuff. Camo Zag and Thrash Out Gargantuans! I just moved mine (gargantuans) to the front of their shelf. Those colors are the best combos ever.
I just wanna say that my very first Larvagon is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE...!!!!!!!!!!! Velocitron vs RedYoda & Velocitron vs Monstock HELL YEAH'...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, sorry I gave the wrong impression. While I can't read Japanese and thus can't confirm it, I suspect the toy is made by Wombat because there's a photo of it at their site, along with the trading card drawing that it seems to be based on, but I'm not sure. The photos I posted are from the Wombat site.
Dean- I'm pretty sure this is a vintage toy. "Hakka Oyako" [Kaiju] means "Firing Parent-and-Child" Kaiju. Oyako like Oyako-donburi. ;P Wombat seems to just be exhibiting it on its page (page link for convenience): http://pink.ap.teacup.com/wombat/24.html
Awesome Mike! I'm so happy that you like them!!! I had a lot of fun doing those guys! Pretty well traveled toys...SF-Tokyo-Tampa
