Post Kaiju Belong in Hot-Rods not on Tricycles!
Nah, I love 'em on trikes too but...
Here's a vintage "Alps" made in Japan, tin & plastic hot rod my son and I discovered at a local antique show last week. Stop & go action, smoking radiator, engine lights up, rubber wheels! MIB to boot!

Zagoran's first ride! I had a hard time finding a figure that would fit but the crouching Zag's torso along with his expression was perfect!

The hot rod itself is 11 inches long, 5.5 inches wide and 5 inches tall...a really large and fun size for a tin, b.o. toy car.
More pics on different Alps hot rod models and the Munsters hearse here.

Tin was my first foray collecting Japanese toys years and years ago.
They're just so hard to resist. Whether it's a wind up or battery operated, tin adds a whole other fun dynamic to collecting but at the same time another level of difficulty finding pieces that work. But, what I love about Japanese tin toys is the fantastic tin lithography a lot of them have so I can overlook it not working if it's wonderfully crafted.
