I recently went nuts and bought some vintage Japanese Models.
Some really bizzare vehicles with amazing artwork.
The kits themselves are really silly.
It's always the artwork I dig most.
There was a cool patchi kaiju suprise in one of them!

Do you guys have any information on the original illustrations used for these packages? Are they in specific collections that you are aware of? Museums? They are fantastic. |

AHH!! I still have the IDEAL TOYS version of that big blue and red robot. Does anyone remember the name? Or maybe it was MARX or REMCO. Paul? I think it was the same company that made KING ZOR, now that was a fuckin rad ass toy! |

I love that Nitto kaiju. Paul, there's a book you might be interested in, it's by the same people who did Godzilla Chronicles, Super Robot Chronicles, etc., I think it's just called Robot Model Chronicles, and it deals with all of those original vehicle and robot model series like Megaro-Zamac, etc. |

Someone needs to do a book, if there is not one yet, of just box art of these kits. Even though its not usually kaiju, I am still today amazed at the artwork on Tamiya military kits and they always catch my eye. |

Man, that box art is SO sweet. What are the actual kits like inside? i've never seen one open, is it soft vinyl or more like a plastic model kit? |
