Hi guys,
Love your blog. Unfortunately, it's got me hooked on a lot of space toys I did not know existed. Been collecting robots and other things over the years until I discovered your blog.
The L.P. toys, Spacex ,their variations, Giant Plastics spacemen, etc. have become favorites of mine also.
I found these "candy store" little spacetank variations on Yahoo Japan of the classic Japanese space tank "Vanguard". The original tank was first released as a model kit by Midori in the 60s.
These little toy spacetank versions are in perfect scale with the Spacex and L.P. toys. They feature working spring loaded missiles. I have picked up a few for modification for my dioramas.
Regards,
Bob Aucutt
The Kit version looks <3
ReplyDeleteThe Toy version looks like a rainbow
But I am sure that a bit of paint and weathering can help anythng
Beautiful toys Bob! I love those colourful Japanese Vangaurds. My favourite Vanguard is in the small boxed series which includes the echo car: http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NaaI5fgDB6g/UPJ4saT2NlI/AAAAAAAAMcY/HQSMoFZcrwk/s1600/Vanguard_1.jpg
