Two notable holdovers from my robot collecting frenzy of the late eighties, Masudayas four inch clockwork versions of Robby and the Lost in Space YM-3. Why the difference in name? Anyone know?
I see you've painted your B-9. That must've been a tricky job. As for the name change, I'd imagine that's perhaps what it was called in the Japanese-dubbed version of the show.
I have the Masudaya B-9 as well and it's a nifty little sucker. Took some photos a couple of months ago for the blog but then got all wrapped up in Flash Gordon.

ReplyDeleteYep - gave em both a lick of paint back in '85. Comparatively easy as the excellent construction made it practical to open the dome etc.
