 Models, vehicles and stuff I'm completely nuts about vintage space toys and vehicles lately. Click on the rising sun at the bottom for more pics. Insanity. http://www.japansuperfantasticmodel.com/I recently picked this up of the bay. It's like slot cars in tubes!  My first trip to Japan at Wonderfest, there was a dude selling 3 HUGE sets of these tube rockets. He offered me a KILLER price, but i had to decline. I still regret it. I think all three of them framed would have made the most incredible installation. The box art was TOTALLY insane. beautiful. Sets my heart afire stuff. Also check out this site: http://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/I had S.W.O.R.D. based toys as a kid that I tore up without abandon. I never realized they were based off Gerry Anderson related vehicles. That dude covers that bottomless pit like no effer.

Re: Models, vehicles and stuff That box art is a treat to wade through. You've reminded me of the marusan tederos stuff. I think you just convinced me to get the submarine:

Re: Models, vehicles and stuff ....sort of related, I've been buying up old Matchbox and Dinky toy catalogs. As a young kid I had no idea what the SHADO vehicles were in the Dinky catalog, but I wanted them badly!

Re: Models, vehicles and stuff LOVE me some spacey shit. Artwork as well as toys. CDX recent posted this review of Anderson's Zero-X.  And speaking of TEDEROS, Jack, the drill-tank-robo is also killer:

Re: Models, vehicles and stuff toybotstudios wrote: those OSM vehicles are amazing. want..! If you think those are hot, look at the drawings for the playsets and the packaging. This line would have been a white-hot comet streak across toy history. Mattel was a pack of fools for turning this guy down: http://melbirnkrant.com/osmvehicles/

Re: Models, vehicles and stuff Just got my rocket tube toy today. It's like a slot car in a tube.The rocket car lights up! (lil sucker gets HOT!) Had to break the staple on the corner obi to pull out the parts and play. i was the first. it's fulfilled it's destiny. Frikkin beautiful toy this is. My perspective is, Japan LOVES it's children, and loves me too.
