ASAHI CA STAR BY DARTH







Don't remember if you already had this on the Blog. Picked it up, never removed from its box, at the local flea market for $10. Not sure what the age is, but appears there were three different ones. It is VERY similar to SWORD style. Hard plastic, small driver fixed inside, electric motor, similar to early NASA designs. Made in Japan apparently. Darth.

Gorgeous toy. I love the box art too! Paul

Hi. I'm unfamiliar with the reconnaisance version of the Ca*Star. If you send me some pictures I will post them on the blog and maybe other readers recognise it. My email is moonzero@moonzero.freeserve.co.uk
