It has been a while since I have been able to upload stuff, SDCC, new store, etc. keeping me busy, but I got a chance to finally get the pics of some of the trikes this weekend that were asked for earlier on. This is not all of them, but a pretty good chunk.


akumaizer in two sizes


l to r: silver kamen legit version, bootleg on tin trike, bootleg on plastic trike


Larger scale trikes for Super Robots. UFO Grandizer, Getta Dragun, Reideen, Geag


Larger scale Robocon, mid scale Astro Boy (why does he have a black nose?), small scale Hacchan


Kamen Rider V3, kamen Rider1, Kamen Rider1 bootleg


Mirrorman, Spectreman, Lion Maru and a fan made bootleg Condorman


Barom-1 and a fan made bootleg Inazuman


Robots. Who cares about guys like this but Sjoen?


Tekkaman, Spelban and GroizerX - I love the balloons!


Ultraman Joe, Andros Melos, Ultraman Leo


Pink and blue Gorangers, I never can remember which versions I have, thus the missing three.


A bunch of bootleg Tiger Mask


Great Mazinger and Getta Robo

The Kamen Riders are especially great!

Nice Tiger mask bootlegs!

What's the story behind these? I'm guessing they aren't based on any TV scene, just a way too sell character toys to a younger audience. You have to wonder what the target age for these would have been. 4 or 5?

Crazy....

This reminds me that I need to create a thread about vintage bootlegs...

glad to see you busting out those trikes .

These are so cool! I keep coming back and seeing something new each time. Thanks Brian!

here ya go Jim

Rocky chuck and Polly
Nyarome

I'm worldless, I would be happy with just a collection of those.

lion maru trike added to 'the list'.

some nutty mads trikes

These are absolutely killer! Trikes are some of my favorite toy designs - so crazy!! The Zambot and friends, and the Big Dai X in the next photo are amazing. Thanks for throwing these up.

The Spielban w/ the baloon is simply sublime... who would of thought a Space Sheriff would have his most daring adventures not on his ship, but on a trike!!

amazing stuff...thanks for posting the Nutty Mad trikes also

pretty laughable after most of what's already been posted, but here are some of my cheapie vintage trikes.

The Zanbot is killer! The Spelban... WTF? That's 85? Totally odd. Thanks for these shots B.

kr, the Nyarome is where it's at. As if you didn't know..

That Zanbot IS killer!

It looks like his right hand is extended in the "CHARGE!!" pose...leading Daiojya and Tryder G7 into battle. And, yes, Brian: there are some of us TBDX misfits who like robots too around here!

My favorite's gotta be the Big Dai X (not Groizer) in the next pic: he's sad because he has no balloon (and because you can't remember his name! )!

Here's my contribution. They're trikes, but not the pedal kind. They're toys of motorized ones (some of my favorite toys I own):

Totally random, but why the fuck is Nyarome stuff so expensive? Is it because Tensai Bakabon is so OG that the collectors who are on it have loot? Fujio Akatsuka is seemingly popular but Osomatsu-kun for example gets NO love.. Nyarome is featured in that story as well. As opposed to FujikoFujio's shit, it's almost cult like price wise.. Any thoughts?

Nyarome is only a bit character in mo-retsu ataro its from the mid 60's but in my opinion is he's the lexicon of japanese "gag strip" manga art design. if you see how many products have been made with Nyarome on them its quite astonishing . From soda to camera timers to fish hooks and high end fashion sweaters. I believe he is perhaps the most recognizable underground old school bit character for people in japan. The old stuff is very rare and sought after. Im sure his popularity, great design,large fan base in combination with very few truly old pieces for sale makes for a deadly combo.

I was surprised that they made Sielban on a bike too!! Who would have thought that Metal Heroes would get trikes!?

Not a "Tricycle" but definitely a vintage STEAL at $12.97 BIN!

The tires look similar to the ones from the Henshin Cyborg Cycle Rider, only smaller.

Since Brian's original pics have dissapeared into the internet netherworld, I thought I would share this sweet 'UFO' Grendizer one by Robin from a recent sale. Not mine, but I wish it could have been.
