Re: Cyborg Clear
Wow those are nice! Usually contemporary clear vinyl toys make me go 'meh'.... but god damn it looks good vintage.

Re: Cyborg Clear
That is a lovely Kikaida, great pickup! Really nice clear vinyl and some nice paint on him. I can understand the conundrum, but I am happy you decided to open him up and enjoy him after all. That is a bit odd with the tinsel, but at least now we know that some of them came like that straight from the shop - it always seemed to me unlikely that kids had removed it. It was probably a manufacturing change done during production at one point, as it became too costly/time consumption to do the inserts, or possibly, they just were clearing out a larger production of the vinyl toys at the end days of the line and just had them put together and sold.

Re: Cyborg Clear
Thanks dude. There are a total of four arm attachments. They really had a thing for giving figures drill arms back in the 70s!

They were looking for oil to keep up with demand. Drill baby drill!

Re: Cyborg Clear
Standard size Mazinger with guts + pipe cleaner inserts. I believe I've seen one with blue guts. Normally you just see the clear figure - sometimes with guts, but guts + cleaners is super tough.

Re: Cyborg Clear
Lovely figure Andy. You are right, I haven't often seen a combination of two together. And I haven't actually been fortunate to check one out in person; what are the guts made of (is it plastic pasrt, or paper similar to other cyborg figures)? I always really loved how the pipe cleaners on these guys were quite narrow, in comparison to the width of the limbs - especially in red it makes it look like they could be arteries/tubes feeding Mazinger his vital fluids. The bubbles on yours give him a really nice effect to the vinyl too. Great figure, congrats man!

I agree - the fellow has lots of character - good toy soul.
