MORINAGA CANDY DEFORMED ZERO-X TOY - NEW TO THE BLOG

Wonder of wonders! Here's another miniature Japanese SWORD toy, the Morinaga deformed* ZERO X, appearing here for the first time with the kind permission of Japanese reader Hiko.

The toy appears to be a three-piece model that snaps together, complete with a section of landing strip. Looking at the Morinaga candy bar leaflet below [seen previously on the blog] it's possible to see the ZX landing strip in position. The small T shaped protruberance on Hiko's toy is a palm tree! The whole Tracy Island base is a plastic jigsaw. Cool or what! I wonder if the base and toys have been painted for the leaflet or where different colours available? Hiko's toy is as it came from the candy box and I must say that's the way I like it! What do you think?

*we've seen the 'normal' non-deformed Morinaga snap-together ZERO X previously on the blog.

Super ... but I want to know what the confectionary tastes like. Anyone want to post some to a poor Toad? (You can keep the toys, nice though they are).
